*Sneezes* *blows nose* Yeah I’m ill again. :worried:

I’ve kinda disappeared from the online world. Less msn chat, less emails, less blogging. I’ve been busy lately. :wink: Happily busy.

On Christmas Day, we went to Zoom (Korean restaurant) for dinner and then to ‘Sky Bar’. I’m not sure about the name. I didn’t really pay attention. It’s some kind of night club with a dance floor and karaoke rooms too. The guys wanted to dance and they were the first to hit the dance floor while the gals just sat there and had a drink first. After trying one of those Korean drinks (i think it was Korean Bai jiu) at Zoom, I didn’t feel like drinking. I just had some tea to ‘wash away’ that taste in my mouth. Anyway we went downstairs to join the guys after a while. I didn’t like the music and stopped dancing after a few songs.
Still ,I had a lovely time, especially when we were at Zoom. Some of the guys were so funny. I laughed so much that my stomach hurt.
By the end of the evening I was dead tired and had a terrible headache. I don’t like going out when I’m ill but spending Christmas Day in bed didn’t appeal to me. :???:

I also celebrated on the eve with my classmates and two of my teachers. No one wanted to have class on that day so I sugggested to the main teacher that we do some kind of Xmas activity in class. She agreed. My classmates and I went shopping for some snacks, drinks and ordered a cake on Thursday. On Friday morning, Jia chong and I went to fetch the cake. It was very cold in the morning. Brrrrrr. I had to wear layers and layers of clothes, a big coat, my gloves and my hat.

The cake was yummy. :razz: Top view of cake :

Yummy cake

Not many people in our class. So sad. The teachers tell us that there will be new students soon. I hope so.

Jia chong and I sang some of Deng lijun’s songs and were later joined by Pushala and Ahmina.

We ate, dance, sang and took many pics. :party:
I really enjoyed the extra performances (oriental dances, African songs, Bulgarian songs and dance). We also listened to the music and songs from the different countries. Good thing I got some Mauritian songs some time ago. (thanks James!) I put them all on a Cd and my classmates were able to listen to some of our Mauritian songs. :smile:

I also received many Christmas cards last week, many of which were quite unexpected. I’m going to write Thank you cards this week, as soon as I feel well enough to go to the post office.

Another thing which made my week was a phone call from Mauritius. Awww. Thanks Sky! (not the Sky bar but a person’s name. :laugh: ) Apart from my parents and sisters, he’s the only friend who phones me from Mauritius from time to time.

Now I just hope that I’m no longer sick before the end of this year. :???:
