3 Blue

Today there was a Christmas party at someone's house.

I took MRT on the Red Line from Bishan to City Hall, and ran so to the train on the Green Line heading for Pasir Ris/Changi so I didn't miss it. I almost got left outside if not from the fact that someone pushed me while I was trying to squeeze through the crowd.

Lucky.

For the rest of the party, I wasn't really involved. From Eunos MRT Station, we took bus 13 and alighted while it was raining.

Brother ZhiChao told us to stay in the bus stop till the rain stopped, but we didn't listen. We set off about 20 minutes later when the rain became almost a drizzle.

We arrived at the house no long later, asked the first timers to stand up, and received some door gifts (candy cane, if you must know).

For ice-breakers, we played Human Bingo. We must not just collect 5 boxes in a row, but must also get 5 rows! I just sat there and waited for people to come.

I don't like games. Not too enthu about it.

Then we played dress the Human Christmas Tree. We were given some crepe paper of green and red and those shiny silver things you hang on your Christmas tree.

Some tape, coloured paper and a pair of scissors were provided too.

The person chosen through open numbers was called Ruth. We called the Christmas tree Ruthless. We won the most spontaneous.

After that, we had some sort of video watching, looking at the life of one of the church members called Carol Wee.

Brother ZhiChao shared about his life too.

Then we just sat around until dinner time.

I was so full just after a little bit but I pushed down more than what I should. =D

I had 2 cups of the punch looking drink.

Then I sat down and started drawing (again).

Some people came over after a long while and commented on how nice my drawings looked. Then they started talking about manga.

They talked about how person A (Jackie, I think) didn't like Sasuke and didn't want Sakura to be with him. She prefered Sakura to be with Itachi (bleagh. OMG. So mismatched...).

I joined the conversation with these words: Gaara is cool.

Looking back, I feel so stupid.

Anyway, the conversation continued for a long while. Oh, before that, I was requested by one of the people to draw for her.

Wow. It's my 4th commission ever.

1st one went to Miranda. 2nd one went to Ying Yi. 3rd one went to Miranda again. 4th one was hers. I forgot her name, not that I ever knew it in the first place.

All of them were from church.

More people joined, and Jackie drew a chibi Sasuke on my paper. It was pretty cute (GASP. She said the word 'cute'!), but I kept wondering why she drew him when she didn't like him...

So then, a long while later, still half talking about anime and manga, we decided to go as a group to the MRT station to go home.

I needed to go to the toilet, so I went just before we left.

OMG. The toilet was in the dog area and it was so freaky to just walk in there. I'm scared of dogs, I'll admit this now...

Then when I came out of the toilet, I stepped into the dog's litter bin (if you know what I mean) and was so disgusted I immediately went back into the toilet to wash my foot.

Actually, I figured what it was before the maid (I assume), told me. It was just this newspaper in an empty cardboard box, and around the middle of the newspaper was this wet spot...

So freaky.

Oh. Then we walked to the bus stop. We had to cross the road, so I ran. It was probably the first time in my life I ever jay walked so dangerously...

I wish I hadn't done that.

The others were lagging a bit for their own safety, so them came a little later.

We boarded the first bus that came along. 155.

We were supposed to alight at Eunos MRT station, but somehow extended the bus ride to Paya Lebar.

When I looked out of the bus, I was so freaked out and felt so insecure. The whole place was black with a few orange spots here and there.

I felt like I could get lost anytime...

Once we got off the bus and arrived at the MRT station, I suddenly felt this sense of peace, being able to get to this brightly lit place.

Person B ran ahead of us because she saw the train arrive and wanted to catch it.

I think she missed it, because when we went up a little while later when the train had left, she was still there...

So the rest and me took the MRT heading the opposite direction and talked about PSLE or the likes.

The person that I did the 4th commission for said that she got 4 A*s but only got 260. I got 3 A*s but got 266.

Now that I think about it, I find it really weird. If she got 4 A*s, the lowest she can get is 273!

Anyway, once back to Bishan MRT station, I feel so at home...

And now I'm back!
