Away in a Manger
Class outing (if it can even be considered one) last friday was fantastic though only Gretchen, Melissa, Keith, Shi Xian, Shi Ming and Lionel turned up.
Watched Alvin and the Chipmunks at GV Marina and chilled out outside the Esplanade facing Singapore River (Damn clouds blocked the stars! Dumb lights spoilt the coastal view!) Haha. Actually, I was plannin' to chill out at Harry's and watch Paul Ponnudurai perform but since we haven't eaten dinner, we had to da bao Macs and we sat by the steps along the river to makan.
We chilled til ten before twelve before deciding to head home. Rushed to City Hall MRT with SX and Gretcheo but SX had to cab home after that cause he missed the last EW train. Greatchen ust missed her last 265 at AMK mrt and cabbed home for $5... (rather than walking 10 mins right? Dark, dangerous and ulu... Haha)
Wished we had more class outings like that next time...
Last weekend was insane intensive singing for me. Choir practise for midnight mass paid off in the end though. I personally felt that CD Choir sang reeaaallllyyyyy well last night. Maybe its because everyone was happy after Christmas eve dinner... Buuttt, we kinda sucked this morning cause everyone was half-dead after singing midnight mass and partyin the night away. So through this intensive practise, I found ou that my highest non-falsetto note is a mid F# while my lowest note was a low low G (though it sounded robotically techoish past B). I also found out that there're three different verisons of Away in a Manger! How interesting! Met Sylvester today at Gretchen's block. Saved on stamp cost! And Mr Leong also popped out of nowhere while we were chilling out downstairs (like wtf?!). Talk about Small City County Island Singapore!

Away in a manger, No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky
And stay by my side, 'Til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven To live with Thee there
