メリークリスマス！
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

My favourite time of the year!!! CHRISTMAS!!! Beyond the gifts, surprises, songs, lightings and food, there lies an important message.

“This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:9-10).

Speaking of food, i'm now suffering the consequences of greed. I feel so bloated from all the food lately and the total lack of excercise =X Ate 3 different types of log cakes this Christmas and i'm so put off by them now. ROFL. But the best one was the one from today's party!! (see picture below) It's different from the other log cakes because it isn't a cream cake! (i absolutely abhor cream) It's an ice-cream cake from Haagen Dazs bought by my sister which costed her a whooping S$90+++!!

Spent Christmas eve travelling around Singapore but kicked off the day before day break. How long has it been that i haven't left my house before the sun has risen? I think the last time was during JC days! HAHAH! Yes, i'm so used to seeing the sun already in the sky every morning i wake up. Heh..it was early enough to see all the army boys boarding and alighting from buses/trains.

Sustaining a whole day which required both physical and mental strength with only 4 hours of sleep was not an easy feat. However, the effects of fatigue was only felt early in the morning and at the end of the day. RAHS! When you're with people you enjoy being with, time flies by! [Waiting for pictures to be sent to me. You all know who you are!!!]

Fen and Zx missing from the picture because they were playing with the kids. WAHAHA! We're the 4 who provided the background music for the day!!

ROFL. I really want to learn beatboxing PROPERLY. WAHAHAHA! It's so terribly fun!! Anyone wants to volunteer to teach me? ^-^

Okie, shall blog more about Christmas eve when i've received the pictures..WAHAHA but in short, i just feel that playing with sparklers always leaves much to think about and reflect on life and decision*-*

To whom i was speaking on the phone when we sort of counted down to Christmas together, i just want to say: BE BRAVE. And pray. I really want you to find your own happiness okay?? :) I don't want you to regret. ANW, Love you lots!! HUGSS!

Hmmm. Christmas Day naturally started with church service which was absolutely T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C! It was soooo sooo good. I want to join the church choir! HAHAHA the drummer was sooo cool when he was drumming!! Full of concentration yet obviously enjoying himself and playing for God. OH MANN. EVERYTHING WAS JUST FANTASTIC. The presence. The mood. The songs. The scriptures. AWwww. I was actually quite upset when the service ended because i was enjoying myself so much. WAHAHA!

After service was the delivery of presents...short catch-ups and errands to be run to prepare for the family gathering at my place! WHEEEE!!! Was kind of like a potluck party but we, being the hosts, naturally had to prepare more stuff. But i must admit i was secretly glad that they enjoyed the food i prepared and the chocolate desserts that i made. It was heartening to see people scoop the dish you prepared for 2nd/3rd or even 4th helpings! *beams* Thanks to my mum who had to cook and prepare her dishes and yet help me wash up after i used all her beloved crockery. Wheehee! ^-^

Oooh mann...it's so late once again. Anyway, i just snapped a picture of Nat in his really cute romper which is really befitting of his reputation - Mummy's Little Monster. ROFL!

OKay, i think i better end this post here. Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas everyone!!
