2 days before Christmas

Hmm. Let's see... I am still down with tonsilitis, laryngitis and an irritating cough (which varies in between productive and non-productive) ~ and the choir that I am singing in will sing tomorrow in the Candlelight Service as well as on Christmas day. We had a practice at church this afternoon - and I could hardly pitch, to make no mention of holding the notes. I sounded like a cat with a cold. I don't know how I can (and whether I should) still sing into the microphone tomorrow (Monday). My upper respiratory tract feels all dehydrated and sad. I greatly hope for a miraculous healing of some sort, but may God's will be done. I've been guzzling down water and taking my meds ~ to do my part.

Other than choir practice and church, Ben and I did a little Christmas shopping in the evening (maintained our record for being the most last-minute Christmas shoppers ever). People were everywhere! We also watched Tom Cruise's crime thriller, "Jack Reacher", at the newly opened Lotus Five Star Cinema at Prangin Mall. Brilliant movie (but eeky popcorn); the plot was delightfully captivating and unpredictable. This is one of the movies that I'd want watch over and over again. Like I did for "The Tourist".

What I'll be doing tomorrow (Christmas eve) since I am off work (again) ~ wrapping presents and writing cards. Hopefully I won't take all day ~ since I'm a perfectionistic about things like that. :S

Definitely missing my side of the extended family and wishing that we could celebrate Christmas together.

Have a blessed Christmas week, folks! :)
