Christmas had come and Christmas had gone.. woOoOohooOo.. A few more days and we'll march into the year 2008. For some reasons, I can't wait for the new year to come.. To me, it means that everything has come to an end and I can start afresh again. Hopefully there's really a closure in my heart too..

Anyway, this year, "Christmas started early for me" (As commented by Jaslin when I told her results). My results was the 1st gift that I had received. Then it happened that I had a terrible experience for the 1st Christmas service. I shall not mention what happened, but it made me realised that support from the cg members is very important. And it was then that I appreciate that I used to be in youth cg whereby it's so easy to communicate. I felt lousy the whole day until I opened the card that Yaqi gave to me and found my 2nd gift. She had blessed me with $50.

Dear Yaqi, if you are reading this entry, I want you to know that I am indeed very touched by your gesture. This blessing came in time to remind me that no matter what happened, how sad I am, I am still blessed by the Lord, not just in material blessing but more so in friendship. It had warmed my heart that day when I felt so "cold" and discouraged. Thanks a lot!

My 3rd gift was from Yingjie. It's a very cool zip-it bag.. I haven't decided if I should use it like a pencil case or put other stuff. Thanks Yingjie!

My 4th gift was from my shifu, Merf. He gave me a make up TOY!!! Haha.. Plus Starbucks voucher. I can have my favorite Vanilla ice blended soon. Thanks shifu!

In the midst of Christmas, we celebrated Jason's bday! Here's our Tiger Jason Yap.. His aspiration is to play golf as well as Tiger Woods!


With Jason around, we'll always find some time to take group photo.. which I liked a lot. Here's part of my CG with some new friends with us...


And this year I attended 4 Christmas services and realised I really aged a lot. I used to attend all services, but this time round, after my 3rd service, I almost fell sick. Thank God I didn't. For the finale service, I took a picture of Yanping, Yingfang and Eunice during the candlelight session. It's a blur picture.. nevertheless, it's the only one that we took during the service.. So here it goes!


I wanna thank all my friends who came to join us for the Christmas service. I really hope you've enjoyed yourself.

Up next, on the 26th of Dec, my brother's officially married!! Here's our relatives who were invited and turned up at the Registry of Marriage.


Me, my da sao and my bro.


And here's my most satisfied piece of work.. Captured at the right moment, the right time, the right angle.


Following a thank you dinner hosted by my bro, I was given my 5th gift, an ang bao. I wonder why? They got married and they gave me ang bao. Shouldn't I be the one to give them?? Hmmm... Anyway, I was thankful of course!

Yesterday morning, my grandma came and she gave me a HUGE ang bao too.. She must have noticed my financial difficulties because I just borrowed $500 from her and intended to keep borrowing from her until I graduate. I feel so touched. But I really don't dare to anyhow use this money because I don't think that I should.. She hasn't been feeling well lately and we just sent her to Alexandra Hospital (strongly recommended by me). Her blood pressure is super high despite taking medicine and she kept feeling giddy. I hope she'll be well and discharge soon. Please pray for her if you can. Thanks!
