Today is the day I’ve been waiting for all month… finally, get to let down our hair and makan-makan, main-main, joke around and poke fun… It’s nice to be able to celebrate Christmas with friends, especially if it’s during office hours eh? *wink*
Hope this year everyone bought good prezzies… I have a really fun prezzie to exchange, so I’m hoping that a fun-loving person gets it… if a plain jane gets it, she may wonder what to do with it… haha!
Woot! Merry Christmas 
till you get that assignment done!
….thank God it’s done, but I have one more… nvm think about it later… procrastinate for the sake of Christmas!
Anyway, I think of all the Christmases I’ve had, this would be the least perfect… In the sense that, I’ll be on the road on Christmas Day… there was one year when that nearly happened, but I finally managed to travel on Christmas Eve…
I don’t know which is better… travelling on the Eve or on D-Day itself…
Well, being back in KL also means I am missing the atmosphere @ Orchard…
But of course, Christmas isn’t Christmas till it happens in your heart which is the most important thing!
I must admit tho, being pregnant and all, this year I keep getting flashbacks of my childhood Christmases… the days of old when relatives gathered, sang carols, and bought me lots of prezzies… the fun part for me was that I always got to give out the door gifts… I miss those days… it’s kinda sad that we stopped doing that when my grandfather passed away…
Christmases soon became THE reason to balik kampung, when I started living away from home. Actually not quite… See my dad’s birthday falls on Christmas Eve… so I would say that my trips home were more for Dad than anyone else…
So have a merry Christmas everyone, and please remember to say a prayer for those who are poor, needy and sad this season. God bless you, and don’t overstuff yourself, because CNY is coming too…
(It’s a vicious cycle… eat eat eat)
Blessed Christmas and thank you Jesus for eternal life…
Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!
It’s that time of the year again… when the malls, hotels and restaurants deck their halls to put customers in the mood for some Christmas romance… gotta admit that boughs of holly is rather effective in triggering the shopping craze among Asians, if only everything could go on more discount…
Came across a friend’s status in fb yesterday… something about resolutions… and today my pastor sent out an e-mail to reflect on the past year…
In retrospect, I think 2009 has been a pretty good year, despite my hectic schedule. Being back in KL for more than a year now, I’ve managed to spend time with my in-laws, schoolmates and friends of old. This year, my father fell sick and it was a challenging time for everyone. For me, personnally, I had to maintain my balance when juggling work, studies and trips home to Penang. I couldn’t do much for my dad except to support him in prayer and call him up occasionally, as I worked or had classes on weekends too. The Lord has indeed been faithful in answering the prayers of my family and friends. I’m so thankful that my father is back home and has the pleasure to do many things now by himself, that we initially thought, the stroke might have robbed him of.
Other than that, in terms of church life, I think getting used to a new setting is always a bit of a confusing phase for me… I normally try to do my bid to serve but it does take some time to find that shape where I fit in. Fortunately, church itself is new as it opened only in March this year, so everyone is trying to fit in together. Not been able to attend all services and meetings as my hectic schedule was in the way, but I know things will be more sane next year when I finally graduate.
On the home front, the Lord has indeed been whipping up His plans beautifully in His time. Things are progressing in order and we have a baby on the way… It’s really nice to know we’ll be having another family member soon… Growing families are opportunities to sow joy in the home.
So having said all that, what are my resolutions? Simply to enjoy what comes my way in 2010, take the ride and remember that whatever lands in my lap, I shall do it, and do it well unto the Lord.
