~~~~~MERRY CHRISTMAS!!~~~~~

Last night was Christmas Eve... My family and I went down to my Grandparents' place to celebrate... It was like a buffet and all thanks would go out to my Aunt and my Grandparents' maid for whipping up all that food... We then received our presents after the scrumptious dinner... My Mum, Sis and I then made our way to church for a candle-light service... The atmosphere was cozy and overwhelming as we see all our candles being lit up... For me, Christmas Eve is all about spending an intimate time with God and with the people I love...

This morning, we made our way to church... My Mum, Sis and I took a cab to fetch my little Cousin from my Grandparents' place and made our way to church together... My little Cousin's family was already there, seated... Everyone was filled with the Christmas Spirit... Adding to that, I would also like to thank Jocey for the pastries... They tasted amazing!!... We sang lots of Christmas songs and had a joyous time worshipping Him... The sermon impacted us all and it was also a self-reflection on one self... After that, all of us made our way to Parkway Parade to have our lunch... We went to my Grandparents' place after that...

Well, that's about it... Merry Christmas to everyone once again... I hope that all of you had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas... To all, God bless and take care... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~Caroling @ Takashimaya~~~~~

This evening, my Mum and I went to Orchard Road... We made our way to Ngee Ann City, Takashimaya, to give our support to our church's youth carolers... They sounded great but sadly, the speakers were kind of soft...

After that, my Mum and I went to have our dinner at Pasta Cafe... That was around 9:30pm and the restaurant was going to close up around 10pm... We were so hungry, plus their service was very fast and efficient, that we managed to finish up slightly before closing time... We made our way back home after that...

Well, that's about it... Enjoy the pictures of the carolers and Orchard lights... Have a wonderful Christmas Eve tomorrow... To all, God bless and take care... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~STEAMBOAT TIME!!~~~~~

This afternoon, my Mum and I went to Marina Square to have our late lunch and to do some shopping... We decided to dine at Hotpot Culture... Instead of having the porridge buffet, we had the steamboat ala-carte buffet... It was much cheaper to eat during the weekdays as for weekends, it'll cost $24.00++... While for weekdays, it'll only cost you $19.80 per person...

We had two different kinds of soups... Mine was Hot and Spicy and my Mum's one was Chicken... There were many varieties of food to choose from, raw and cooked... We started eating at about 5pm and finished only at around 7pm... That's two hours spent on our steamboat lunch... I really love to eat steamboat... Thanks Mum for that...

After that, we went shopping for a while... We then went to TopMan and I bought a t-shirt, a polo-t and a shirt... We made our way back home after that... Until now, we've yet to take our dinner as we could still feel our lunch in our stomachs...

Well, that's about it... Have a wonderful Christmas ahead of you!! To all, God bless and take care... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~Chilling Out~~~~~

Today, I went to meet up with Randy for lunch... Unfortunately I was totally late... My apologies to you dude...

After lunch, we went to Katong to play pool... The score ended with 7 - 12... It's up to you, readers, to make a guess whose score is whose... We then made our way to Katong Shopping Centre to play LAN... Three hours later, we made our way back to Tampines to have our dinner... We decided to have Pepper Lunch, at Century Square, for dinner... By the time we were done, the Food Junction was also closing...

2 days ago, Sunday, my whole family went to celebrate my Grandpa's Birthday at Koo Kee Dumpling & Ramen House... Just for your information, it is in Century Square... I managed to clear almost all the dishes served as I didn't have any breakfast in the morning... After that, we went window shopping... It's been months since my Grandparents went out... I was surprised that they still knew where some of the shops were located... After walking for some time, we accompanied my Grandparents back to their place... We stayed for a while before we made our way back home...

Well, that's about it... Good to catch up with you again Randy, after like so many months... Have a wonderful holiday, full of rest and relaxation... To all, God bless and take care... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~The Season To Be Jolly!!~~~~~

FINALLY!! SCHOOL'S OUT!! Although it's only for two weeks, it'll be a good time to chill out and just to enjoy the upcoming Christmas Season...

Just now, I went to meet up with my Poly classmates for dinner at VivoCity... We went to dine at HK Cafe... The food was good but I guess the reason was that we were extremely hungry as we took about half an hour just to search for the restaurant... After dinner, we went to chill out at the rooftop...

Well, that's about it... I'm really looking forward to tomorrow as I'll be waking up to a morning that will be the start of the holidays... To all, enjoy yourselves and take care too... God bless all of you... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...
