Highlights of 2nd sem

Greetings.

Here is an update regarding the major highlights of 2nd sem that has just passed recently.

We went for Carolling at USJ with Nat's BEC on the night of 15th of December. We hopped from one house to another; overally about 7 to 8 houses if i'm not mistaken. We started at about close to 9 so naturally went home after midnight. :)

After singing, the family of the last house provided us food. Good food, i mean. Food that satisfy all the hungry people like us after singing continously for hours straight.

The below picture is taken at the last house.

We wanted to spread the joy of Christmas around the neighbourhood by singing Carols. I hope we left some Christmas spirit somewhere around. Thanks to those who joined for if you didn't, that night wouldn't have been the way it was. IT WAS AWESOME.

Another event highlights would be our Exam mass celebrated by Fr. Chris and the Christmas party.

On a rainy night of 19th December, we managed to come together for the Exam mass at Cyberia A3 hall.

After the Mass ended, some of us went over for the Christmas party held at my place. It was a potluck party so most of us brought food. And PLENTY of food. Generous bunch of peeps. Thank you all so much! and thanks to Regina for the sad looking Christmas tree which was 'alive'. It has only 2 leg stands so it doesn't balance that well. It will fall whenever people knock or push it. haha. But we really made do with everything we can find.

Picture tells a lot more than words. So, hope these pictures bring some ideas in your mind about the fun we had there. Just look at the smiles.

Actually 19th of December was also our dear Alvin Lee's 21st birthday. We played this musical game(whats the game called again?). You know we tried to surprise Alvin by stopping the music when he is holding the thing (a bottle) and instead of penalising him we would then bring the birthday cake out. Somehow the music stops all the time on either Fr.Chris and Leslie. The scene was hilarious. After a while of denies, Leslie owned up and was spotting enough to do this.

We planned to surprise Alvin in the 3rd round. On the other side of the hall, in the kitchen, Lana and I had already litted up the candles and prepared to bring it out. But we failed to stop on Alvin in the 3rd round, and failed again in the 4th. Okay that time the candles were already almost burnt out. So we just took out the cake, and everybody started singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Alvin.

amused, surprised and delighted

Then at last, it was the gifts exchange time. It was only a simple exercise of giving, but it means so much. Afterall, Christmas is about giving and sharing. Thanks to all who came because by coming you all shared yourself there, your presence, your smiles and laughter. And of course, your food. :) Not forgetting to Thank Jon who left his delicious curry puffs for us.
