shopping and rover christmas celebration

23rd dec shopping with jenje and jenni
met jenjera and jennifer, 2pm at city hall.. went shopping at Bugis.. jenje was wearing this cute, purple hat, which i think her uncle bought for her.. both of them wore cross necklaces, so cool! jenje wanted to get christmas gifts for jess, jenni and her mum.. she bought a necklace (Christ cross) for jess, a harry potter sound track for jenni.. and also got a winnie the pooh mug for me!! thankie! got to know that both of them LOVE english comics.. promised them to burn 'prince of tennis' for them..

i bought a gift for jess too.. something, i think she would like.. i hope..

went up to somerset after that.. went to MOS burger.. jenni had sparkling grape juice and jenje tried the vanilla milk shake.. it was their 1st time at MOS.. they seemed really excited about it.. haa.. bought them a pack of fries to share, cause they said they weren't really very hungry.. it took them 3 packs of ketchup to finish one pack of fries.. SCARY! they're SO like jess.. sometimes i wonder if they're eating the fries or the ketchup.. had to stop them.. they were really eating too much.. alvin came and joined us there.. we were supposed to go shopping together.. ended up, 4 people together..

walked down to Heerens.. jenje bought a couple of keychains.. heard she's got a collection of them.. and got stuck at HMV for quite a while.. they were looking for CDs.. alv and i were like.. just browsing..

then, went to taka.. the crowd was so dense.. got worried that jenje might go missing.. passed her one of my phones.. told her to contact me if she lost her way.. luckily, it didn't come to that point of time.. jenni got a beany, blue cat soft toy for her mum.. so sweet! =) then, jenje was like asking, if this green bear from TY was nice for a guy.. i told her, 'not bad'.. she bought it.. and guess what? it was for alvin.. surprise of surprise! haha.. then, jenje and i shared to get this gift for jenni.. a 4.5kg wrist weights.. jenni wanted to train up her arms so she could do better in wushu.. she was so so happy when we gave it to her..

heard her saying that she wants to be the best in her wushu class.. determination! =) wants me to teach her TKD one day too.. haha..

peace in me
when i first saw jenni months back, i recall her as shy, quiet girl.. quite an introvert.. she was still rather, wary of me when we first met earlier in the day.. but, as time passed, she started to talk and opened up.. managed to share a few laughs with her.. i remembered jess told me that jenni's rather quiet, and seldom talk.. well, as we were on our way back, she was smiling and laughing.. that was when, i found this peace in me..

perhaps, God has given me this ability to communicate, and open the minds of younger ones.. able to talk to teenagers and kids, making them feel comfortable with me around, and also at the same time let them have a certain level of respect.. it is, indeed, a gift bestowed on me.. young ones like jenje, jenni, jasmine, carol, celest, eric, bryan, phyllis.. i realised that i didn't have problems talking to them, unlike some other adults, who would probably encounter difficulties handling them..

i was glad, that jenni could open up to me.. treating me as a friend, an older brother.. it gave me this peace, as though, it was my duty, to open her mind to me.. to make friends with her.. and at the same time to teach her certain things which she didn't know.. showing care, and concern to her..

i'm NOT trying to fill in anyone's shoes.. but, i just feel this closeness to them.. its unexplainable, but.. this feeling i have towards them is almost similar to those i have for eric.. i don't know why.. i don't know if i should continue being their 'bigger brother'.. jenje was even calling me 'daddy'.. would be praying about it.. nonetheless, i had peace in me, while i was with them.. it can't be a bad thing right?

christmas celebration
the rover christmas celebration was held at the HQ scouters' lounge.. 1st time there.. not very spacious, but comfortable enough for the activities.. met up with hoon and ling before going there.. when we got there, ber came..

weihong was dressed as santa.. he got cotton wool stuck all over his face, and newspaper suffed underneath his shirt.. he looked corny.. the evening started off with jokes telling.. i thought weihong's one was corny, and absolutely hilarious.. the one about the mermaid.. same goes for muthu.. the voodoo d***.. haha.. woops!

then, we had the really entertaining actionary.. a modification of pictionary.. really had fun and good laughs.. especially when weihong was trying to act out 'liverpool'.. he was pointing to his crotch when he was supposed to describe 'liver'.. ermz!!

the evening was spiced up with the funny ethics of muthu, weiyi and weekiat.. plus the active participation of everyone else, it was more fun than i initially expected.. *grins* and everything ended with gifts exchange, lo- cake eating, and also the video viewing of the Night Tour 2005.. got hoon's famous amos cookies as my exchange gift.. thanks hoon!! hehe..

oh, she gave me a ride back too.. thanks again!! =)

wondering how she is
i wonder how is she.. been quite a while since we've contacted.. steph told me that she's okay.. certainly hope that she's fine.. with her friends and family, with God's help, i pray that she's alright.. or perhaps, she's ALREADY gotten over everything.. and i'm the only stupid idiot still grieving.. sometimes just wonder if she feels weird at times too.. well, guess, i think i should try and stop worrying, and just pray for her.. 'just trust in God' she used to say.. just trust in God..
