Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The Everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in Thee tonight

Shermaine! [:Paternal's celebration last night.
Was okay, though as the years go by it's really so much of realizing how you've grown; how much you don't enjoy playing at the playground and lighting sparklers as you used to. Sat on the swing most of the time. It was a lot about reminiscing - more so than being emo.
Photos!:
Christmas Dinner {:
Prayer before partaking the food.
Playing with the sparklers!
Swing swing swing (from the tangles of my heart).
I hope I look happy. Then I tried eating the biggest piece of cheesecake EVER! Ahhh, it was crazyyyyy man. But hey, no fear, when you have Elyssa the Cheesecake
It's HUGE! O:
Attack, Ely, attack! [:But in the end I failed. I left some bits for my brother ): Gahhhh. But hey, that's enough calories to last me the next few months. People say "Christmas is the time to stop counting all those calories and just indulge". But wtcd, no way!

Today's Christmas!
Somehow didn't feel like it, though. This year Christmas is very much different from those in the past. P'haps familiarity has ruined it all. Tragic.
Went for Service in the morning. Afterwhich, exchanged gifts and cards at the Upper Sanctuary together with all the YFers. Thanks for the presents and notes, all you who gave 'em to me! Lovelovelove ♥
Then, "The Paedophile Association" - headed by Shermaine with me as Vice - brought the kids out for their monthly outing. (Okay this is all crap and I just created this organization today, I swear.) Caught the flick "I Am Legend" at j8. The show is plain weird. Abe and my brother were laughing throughout, Zac was expressionless, Kevin kept eating, Kok Weng was getting all cozy while I, was afraid. Stupid.
We were cheap thrilling at the Interactive Mat thereafter! Haha, super retarded. I took a video of Abe fooling around. Should prolly post it up on Youtube [:
Being childish & playing with the kids!After most of them left, Zac, Abe, Greg, my brother and I went to SONY to check out Guitar Hero III. Tsk, the guys were playing. When they asked me to I foolishly agreed but got owned. Oh well. Anyway, my main role was to take photos, while Greg's was to be a good audience.
Abe playing it.
Zac.
My brother.No special presents this year from my parents, I think. Ah well, it's difficult to break out of tradition in this manner. But I guess the older we get, the less they see the need to give us stuff. Brilliant.
All I want for Christmas is to be a kid again.
