Merry Christmas With Clay!


Clay Aiken -X'mas Album

Today was quite a fun day for me. Went to Sentosa for the Baha'i youth camp. It was kinda weird to see the kids do fashion shoots. But damn, one of my best friends, namely, Yihan, showed he's capable of doing anything, even modelling. Must be encouraged by ANTM. Haha. Seriously, the pics turned out to be good and these guys were unqiue with their own- designed outfits and poses. Could see it was a fun experience for them. Went to the beach for this blocks game which consists of 'soldiers and a king'. No idea how to explain it myself, but we have to hit our opponents' blocks down and blah blah blah...At first it was like gonna be a never ending game as no one managed to hit any of the blocks, but soon, the game 'officially' started. Enjoyed it cause I could make use of the blocks to vent my anger at. Haha! A nice game that's played by the Europeans. The rain forced us to stop playing and we were crazily running our way up the slope to the chalet. Played alil TABOO before having our dinner. Really nice to be there cause everyone was so friendly and a warmth hearted feeling was felt. MJ and Yihan were greedily swallowing squids after squids, no idea how many landed in their already bloated stomachs. Watched AR there and left later.

Went CD shopping yesterday and bought a few, namely, Bridget Jones soundtrack, Jesse McCartney - Beautiful Soul and Clay's Merry Christmas With Love. All of them contained nice tracks. I especially love Clay's X'mas album. It's simply spectacular. Been listening to it everyday since I bought it. Clay Aiken's incredible vocal range and his ability to fuel each song with his unique style and emotion stir the mind and soul, particularly in traditional tracks like 'O Holy Night', 'Silent Night', 'Mary Did You Know' and etc... The highlight of the cd I must say is 'Don't Save It All For Christmas Day'. Clay gives a stellar performance with a "killer" glory note which seems to last forever. This song simply blew me away, just can't stop myself from hitting the repeat button. Amazing. It's unbelievably refreshing to have an album of Christmas songs imbued with such depth and feeling. This shall be my All- Time Favourite Christmas Album from now! A big THANK YOU to Clay for delivering this wonderful X'mas present. Fantastic!
