How I spent my Christmas


It was three in the afternoon and it was Christmas Eve. My mum was talking to an aunty and they made a plan to meet up at Centrepoint in Orchard. I was so glad to hear that. Finally, I thought, an excuse to go to Orchard on Christmas Eve and see all the cool lightings and stuff! We thought we had a lot of time on our hands so we took things slow. We had to leave at five. Hence, I rushed a half-done post previously saved (Quiz) and also rushed doing everything else. In the end, we left the house late. Leaving at five was the latest time to leave as it definitely takes half an hour to reach Orchard from my house. Therefore, 15 minutes late made all the difference. In the end, we arrived at Centrepoint to find that there was no one waiting for us! We called them and they were apparently at John Little. We were very confused on what to do as after a while, we called them again to check where they were and they went to Plaza Singapura! Finally, we decided that we should just go upstairs and look around Robinsons' while they go where we were.

It says Christmas Sparkles at The Centrepoint

Well, we finally found each other and then we toured Centrepoint, ate at McDonalds, walked around inside the shopping mall itself and left the place to go to other places at about eight. It was dark by then and I realised how fast time flies. Anyway, then, we walked all the way to Wheelock Place, passing all the other shopping malls like Wisma Atria, Paragon, and many other buildings too. They were actually giving away free Coke bottles which was really cool but I didn't want to take them as that felt cheap but of course my mum and the aunty took four bottles for all four of us. In fact, they wanted to take one more for Dad, who was working in his office. His office happened to be at Wheelock Place, by the way. Hence we went to his office and stayed there for a while, appreciated the view, and then went back to Borders where Mariah bought a birthday gift and a birthday card for her friend while I furiously type away personalised messages on my phone (which was on the verge of being dead {no battery}) for a few close friends.

Pictures I took on the way to Wheelock.


Decorations! I have many random pictures like this.

This one was hanging from the ceiling, same for the one below.



Coca-Cola Ad! =DD

A humongulous Christmas Tree outside Paragon which didn't fit in my camera screen.

More decorations! P.S. It was raining badly, but that didn't spoil the Christmas Spirit, now, did it?
It says 'A Sweet Christmas in Singapore"
Rolex!

TANGS!
We went inside Wheelock and we were on the escalator when I looked up and saw this.


Wahh. Oh and here's some depressing photos of all the shops CLOSED!




Yeah, I peeked into those holes to see what was inside. GOT SALE!! DD=

And here are pictures I took in Wheelock and in my dad's office.

Nice, right?

Oh I was very tired so I sat down with my legs outstretched and I took a picture! It looks indecent so I'm not showing (but you can find it in my web albums... yeah, what's the point of saying it, might as well post it here, but no!) Here's a picture of the fantastic JAM.

Here's a nice tree I took when we went downstairs near Borders again!


Meanwhile, my mum and the aunty was in the Borders' Bistro. We actually sat there just for sitting down (and because we were waiting for a few more people to join the 'party') but that's quite rude, right? Moreover, the waiter gave us the menu so we had to order something. Hence we finally decided to just buy two chocolate milkshakes. They were delicious at first but as I proceeded towards the bottom of the cup, the chunks in the milkshake got chunkier...

to...


Okayy, I'll continue my long story later, now, it's 27 December 6.59PM and I have to go to my Aunt's house and sleepover there too. What am I having?, a sleepover marathon(g)? =S

Love y'all.
