i thank God for the many public holidays that punctuates the course, it definitely makes the week seem shorter and we've more to look to to lift our spirits. Christmas is going by just as any other public holiday, in fact the 'mood' hardly gets into me, coz most of the time i'm in camp. its only until i pass by Orchard Road in the bus on my way home, or even going to Parkway Parade yesterday after book out hoping to pick up a few gift items. Thank God i've still managed to prepare a few small gifts for the few close ones i'm compelled to thank God in my prayers.

haha... at Cold Storage, at the cold storage section, i saw a crowd, all making their purchases of turkey ham, bacon, chicken etc... i guess this is a time when families and friends come together to have a good meal.

Christmas is really all about Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord for being so merciful to us by sending Jesus Christ to free us from death and sin. Its merry Christmas for us Christians indeed.

i'm really glad and thankful to hear that yesterday's Christmas event at church went very smoothly and well. i only came in at the final gospel sharing part but thank God for everyone who'd contributed and participated in the event! from the food(Eunice did a terrific job and showed her sense of commitment) to the skit performers(who delivered to the best of their abilities). i believe God did watch over this event through all our prayers, Jiayan, Chris and Geok lan placed their trust in the Lord, and the Lord made it good. well done, all glory to God! May the message of Jesus Christ convict our listeners of sin.

Watched Alvin & the Chipmunks late last night! wonderful movie to catch this season i think, i really enjoyed the movie. Thank God for LiangFa who so willingly drove us home :) Alvin is just so cool, so cool. i love Alvin.

Had breakfast at Hsiao Ling & MingDe's apartment early this morning. Was so looking forward to seeing Hsiao Ling again. My thanksgiving overflow whenever i see her.. Although i went to meet her with nothing more than a lemon sponge cake, she's warmed my heart. The married couple prepared a lovely western breakfast :)
thank God for the sweet and short time of catching up. I've got a new belt too! :) something that i need now in and out of camp.

have a Blessed Christmas.
Thank You Jesus.
