MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone!!! =) God bless all of you and may He continue to pour His rich blessings, love and wonders upon your lives! =D


Christmas has a way of bringing people together and it's some how something unanimously said on the lips of many, even in blogs. Wonderful isn't it? Yet it's strange..



that our King should be
born as a child to a virgin.

His birth place, a stable,
with a manger for a bed

He was to bare the name Jesus
and not Magnificant,
or Majesty, or any names that
screams "I'm the King!"
He was to grow up known
as the carpenter's son




How did this become the ultimate plan God came up to save us? Strange don't you think? Yet, this seemingly strange plan only magnifies how POSSIBLE our God is. =) He works in the strangest ways but HE WORKS!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Christmas is okay this year. Ed is not here this year, so not as loud as it would have been but oh well. Did a lot of eating within this 2 days.. so fat di! =P it's quite hard to resist, don't believe me?? See for yourselves!

CHRISTMAS DAY

Went to JIC (Jalan Imbi Chapel) this year cause Charis only had a night event. Mom wanted to attend a morning service, so I went round asking for a morning service. I expected to sing hymns, listen to a very very very elaborate sermon and well..fall asleep half way. =P

I know it's horrible to think like that but, JIC is a really old church. My aunt and my mom used to attend when they were kids, even then it was already getting old. So tell me how old can this place be!

Yet, surprisingly..none of that happened. No hymns at all! Ok just one which I sang in camp before so no biggie, but we sang so many carols! hehehe..so happy, I love singing carols! The sermon was very brief and concise; and before you even ask, I didn't fall asleep!! =D

I enjoyed my visit to JIC! Met a lot of familiar faces as well! Both from camp and from college. Didn't see Ms Moey though. Saw, Ms Cooke, Ee Ling, Yoke Ling, Iris, Adele, Amanda, Mr Harry, Mr Handrikus (dunno how to spell..=p) and Mr Khoo. Turns out that Mr khoo's wife (very beautiful lady btw..) is my dad's school mate. Haha.. I have to admit, the world seems to get smaller by the minute.


Then we went to eat and shopped till we dropped then we ate and ate some more..I really need to work out now!




tough work.. that thing works like a big vacuum cleaner


yum!korean BBQ!

HK was okay as usual. Went to Macau and Zhu Hai as well. It was awesome in Venetian! I can even enter th ecasino now! The perks being 18.. It was so beautiful and grand! took lots of photos, shall post some up later. This trip was a rare one. My entire family went! Grandparents, uncles and aunties, and cousins! 9 years..that's how long we last travelled together. A total of 18 of us! This made me feel really happy and excited. It's just fun to be around family, so secure and in a way, happy. =)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Then, it's off to CU Camp for me. Yeap... I still miss it a lot. I know most of us misses it! Reading all the comments on facebook made me feel like I'm still in camp. Camp this year is so awesome that it's not only memorable but so impactful! My team was the best thing by far!! Each of them were really awesome team players and their just so much fun to be with. I have never felt more happier leading them!

Our team name is Kurage.. (it's koo-rage..) it's in Swedish which means courage. The theme is Hearts Courageous, so we had all the team names in different language but with the same meaning. The girls are just so wonderful. It's a true blessing knowing them. Most of them have really a good sense of humour and their very creative. Good actresses!

Su Hwei was my main group leader, seen her since I was form 1 but she never exactly knew who I was. (sad..) She remembers me as the sick girl la.. =P It was fun working with her! She is totally not the strict, serious or scary jie jie I thought I knew. She's actually really funny and blur! Got the chance to chat with her throughout the camp and got to know more about her. Funny how things are.. I truly believe in the phrase, "Don't judge a book by it's cover"

Rebbeca was the other sub group leader. Haha.. been in camp with her for a while too. She was kinda stressed up about being a leader cause it's her first time, but she handled it so well! It was like as if she was not a first timer at all! So proud to have a co leader like her! The 3 of us rocked!! =P self praise.. *malu*

The talks were really good to. Annette was really funny and so were the night sessions! It actually challenged me a lot. It me want to grow more and it made me want to be more bold as a hristian. I hope to be a Daniel one day! =)


What else can I say?? Camp rocked big time!!! Shall let the pictures do some talking..
