12.26am now and I'm finally back.

After the entry that evening, Dad drove us out for dinner. It was at a posh restaurant which I couldn't remember its name. Shall ask Dad about it again. Just that day, I told you guys that I saw Keith, and this afternoon, I saw Tinghui shopping at LV when I was with Mom. Seems like the whole world is in Paris, but not you.

Christmas celebration, one word. AWESOME. Aunt Illeana held a Christmas Party at her place and the theme was Warmth, Peace and Serenity. Party in Western countries are indeed different. They place more emphasis on Christmas. It's like the Muslims going for Hari Raya, Chinese celebrating Chinese New Year, Indians celebrating Deepavali.

Since the theme was Warmth, Peace and Serenity, we went out to buy the things for the Party. Christmas tree decorations, new socks for Santa, door gifts, etc. Mom bought me a Gucci bag for Christmas. Dad bought me winter wears, the white Tux for party, and promised to a replacement for my OMNIA asap. Also, Aunt Illeana and Uncle Pierre bought me a Tag Hauer watch, Winifred got me a nice leather glove and my god, a muffler.

In return, I got Dad and Mom beanies, Dad look hilarious with it. Bought Winifred a dress, Aunt Illeana a scarf and Uncle Pierre a pair of cool shades. Well, it's not that I'm generous, all the money comes from Dad and Mom! Anyway, let's talk about the highlight for my Paris trip.

Most importantly, this time, we come over to Paris to celebrate Christmas. (Winifred just came into my room telling me that it's -5DC now) The limelight for Christmas was Nainai, Winifred and Kaden (Uncle Pierre's nephew). Nainai flew over on Christmas Eve with Aunt Louisa, Aunt Jessie, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Caleb, Uncle Joseph, Uncle Ian, Thaddeus, Tyson, Varick, Clara, Jovianne, Gabrielle. The rest wasn't able to come, or that they already have Christmas plans.

Kaden played saxophone and Winifred played the violin, Twelve Days of Christmas. Then the rest of us, including the other guests's kids played on the various instruments, trumpet, piano, guitar etc. And I played my oboe! I haven't lose touch ever since I last touched it. Haha, that's like a miracle. And music started and everyone started dancing in the living room. There were outdoor dancing too, but that's for TEENAGERS like us only.

The whole house was crowded and I swear, this is the best Christmas I ever had for 18 years. The party, the people invited the programmes and everything was well planned. Food was delicious and sufficient, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Gotta really thank Aunt Illeana and Uncle Pierre for planning such a wonderful Christmas for all of us.

Party lasted all the way till 4am then we did some packing and hired 3 part time domestic helpers to help us out. Slept at 9am, woke up, went for movie etc and just slack my day off in the room. Alright time to wash up, and have a good sleep. I'm so tired out.

Merry Christmas to all of you.

Mom went out with Aunt Illeana and Winifred for some crazy last minute Christmas shopping over here. Bet they gonna come back with lots of Fendi and LV from Mom's reply. Staying here is great and the house is way bigger than mine in Singapore. Ok, they have a big swimming pool and a nice backyard.

It's only 4pm right now and I've been enjoying myself ever since I reached Paris. Catching up with Winifred and talking with Uncle Pierre was way too superb. Bumped into Keith Xiao on the streets that day. Haven't been contacting since Sec 1 and he still recognises me! Kinda distracted now. I shall update again.

I've reached France. Post again, dead tired after hours of flight within a month.

You need to understand her, really. And girl, sometimes things truly don't go the way you want. You need to adapt and trust that he's the best for you. Your draft really aches me. Will post again when I reach France.

Remember, trust him. And trust yourself that you've made the right choice. Give him time to understand you well. It took me a year plus also, isn't it? Hope things will turn out well for you. Both of you..

I'm at O'Hare International Airport now. Finally get to go online and blog a little before I leave this blog rotting with cobwebs. I'll return on 5th January to blog about my trip and hopefully Pris, Zach and Darryl will take some initiative and get the connection fixed. Ok, Pris just gave me a tight smack and an evil grin.

I wonder how this whole house will become within a few weeks while we leave for Italy and France. 3 of them will sure create a mess out of everything. We've met a few new friends, of which some are Dad's colleague's children, some are our neighbours. They're friendly and yes I'll bring something back for you people.

Anyway, I've received various presents. From ValG, Leslie, Lek, Zu, and Mab, 2 winter wears, a BAPE jacket, a wallet and hum.. 4 renoma underwear. But thanks alot I really love it and of course the super big card. I know it must have cost a bomb but for Bryan, IT'S ALL WORTH IT. I'll take good care of myself. Zu especially, don't always be so wilful and thanks for heeding my advice, tears won't help. :-) I'll bring all these along and of course wear the undies. Haha!

Next, AJcians sent me 2 bearbricks for God's sake! Haha, I think the people delivering must be feeling so damn sick to keep sending things to my apartments. And also churchies for sending me a super big birthday-cum-christmas card, the socks filled with cute little useless bears and of course the super nice crumpler and the pair of dunks. I really got to leave now.. :-(

Alright, time to go off now. It's 4plus am now. Take care people! :-D

And a happy belated birthday to myself.

Happy Birthday Bryan. I don't know when you'll see this, but I wish you read my message and received our birthday present. I think it will come in handy for your snowy X'mas over at France. Hope everything's fine for you and I really really miss you. Don't worry, this year, tears won't roll down anymore. I've thought it through, tears won't change the fact.

Wish you enjoy yourself and we'll see when you're returning to Singapore. Anything, you can still call my hotline since I have free incoming. Send my regards to your Dad and Mom! :D

Reached Chicago for almost 2 weeks. It's 2am now and I'm at Christy's cousin's place. Just to blog and update you people in case you people think that I'm dead. I'm alive, and kicking and in fact feeling great. There are still times I miss the things and people in Singapore, but I'll just have to adapt, right?

Enrolment list is out and we'll start school around late January or early February. Everything is nice but Dad has became super strict ever since we reached here. It's not a good sign. I'm unable to get my return tickets for my birthday to be celebrated in Singapore. Plus, I'm going Italy from 13th December to 5th January, flying off from UK. After Italy will be going to France to visit Aunt Illeana and family.

So I'm alive and you people don't have to worry much. I'll be returning home before my Strict Dad catches me and starts yakking again. What on Earth happened to Dad, can someone fill me in about this?!
