started with the kids christmas party from the last post, next is the caroling session on the 20th Dec.....
We went to a total of six houses, starting with Aunty Jennifer's house and ending with mine. As usual, there were lotsa food and this year, there were more cam whoring session than the one two years back. With two skillful photographer talking in their photographing language all night, playing with the angles and lighting, we were their white mice for their artistic photos....

After caroling, almost every single day, the six of us, girls, meet up to practice for the dance performance for Christmas service. All the practices and efforts were all worth it since the dance turned out to be quite well. With all the excitement in thinking for more dance moves and songs, we forgotten something important. I can’t believe that all of us forgot to pray before every practice. felt so guilty…. Thanks to Jeannie’s reminder, we started to pray before every practice and everything seems to turn out fine and went on smoothly…. We really need God’s blessing in everything we do….It was really fun preparing with them, the crazy ideas for the dance, the makan time we shared, the sampat moments together….I really enjoyed their company….it was indeed one of the best way to spent the Christmas season!!!

Next up...is the Y.A trip to P.D on the boxing day.... everyone was not really in the mood to go for the trip since we were all tired from the christmas preparation...but we went anyway....and it was better than expected..we went in three cars but pastor left with a car right after leading us there....

With Win Nie,
Jeannie and I counting down the bottles of beer to annoy oma...
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer,
we take one down and toss it around,
and 98 bottles of beer on the wall.
she tried to cry for help....
and...begged for us to stop...
finally she gave up...and just listen to us counting down to zero...
The apartment has quite a number of facilities....rock climbing, basketball court, gym, volleyball court, futsal court, pool table, archery, swimming pool, dart board and obstacle course....but most of it were not functioning anymore... However, Jonathan, Jotham, Kenn and I went to the gym to play with the sandbags and also played basketball while the others rest in the apartment. In the evening, all of us went swimming together....The dinner was quite expensive and not really filling, so....
some of them went for 2nd round..
after praise and worship session, we played blind man game, and also risk till 2 plus 3am..
In the morning, we had egg frying competition...
The winner was of course Jeannie who are studying Hospitality and Tourism...
her skill made christine...
and I...surrender.....
In the apartment, my knitting club expanded....
we also went to the beach for prayer and devotion session
first time leading devotion, we want to do something special...
all of us wrote the sins that we've committed in the past year and wash it away with sea water, just like how God has washed away our sins..
from there, I realized a metaphor. Every single time I wrote a letter on the sand, the wet sand will sink and the letter will disappear.. the letter cannot be formed on the sand...this is like God telling us...that He do not want us to keep our sins..He want us to repent and then forget...and not committing it again...
after devotion, we hung around in the beach for a while before heading back...
sand castle was built..
artistic clothes were created....
and hairy legs were formed..
On our way back...we stopped by for lunch and cendol..
we also saw a weird lamp post..
and Ajuuma...were too afraid to see....
On our journey home,we kinda lost our way and had a direction screaming session...without pastor leading the way..we paid extra 2 toll
but finally managed to find our way home...
Thus...end the christmas season of 2008....
