Christmas Specialsi'm on leave till next year! woohoo! feels so liberated! haven have this feeling for a long long time since i started to work.
24decits pretty amazing how God made a no-plans day to such a eventful day. after half day work, i tot i would just go home and finish up the CG video stuff, wrapping presents and writing cards for the rest of the day.. but i went to a small methodist church xmas eve celebration with my mum n bro. this is a church where i grew up in when i was v young since k1 to p4 before i backslided. singing all the chinese pnw brought back so much memories! everything was v simple there with home cooked refreshment and v amateur candlelight service and altar call, which everything felt so "natural" there. it gives a homely feel. but somehow i felt i was out of place there.
the amazing thing was when i decide to tag along one of my aunt to went house to house caroling! i always wonder why as a Christian i dun do caroling during christmas! i find it reli odd when i first came to church. so out of curiousity, i went caroling for the 1st time ever!
we stepped into a middle aged aunt place and she stays alone. when i stepped in, the word "depression" flashed across me. i kinda ignore that tot at first. but after a few songs and praying tgt, that aunt began to share that she has depression and started crying! i was so blown off my mind then. and they shared the WOG and she accepted Christ! woa woa woa! seeing first hand testimony right in front of you! there and then, i felt the compassion of Christ and went forward to give her a hug.
sometimes, professionalism is to our advantage. but sometimes, professionalism can be our weakest link. when we are always so task-oriented, we fail to realise the simplest things, which is to be real living human being with our hearts beating alive with the love of Christ that compels us. This visit brings me back to the very foundation why we are call light and salt. sometimes, its not about the marketplace, its about your neigbourhood.
25 decwent for Christmas svc at expo and prayed for a 7 year old girl who responded to altar call. she was in tears and when i asked her why she cried, she answered "cause i know Jesus is my friend now and im forgiven." how pure and child-like is that! reminds me of the buckets of tears i cried when i first responded in p6.
CG party thereafter. i think i haven have such a good laff for q awhile. we went to have our luxurious cg thanksgiving dinner and went wii-ing! it was just crazy! and my arms are aching now. and the craziest thing i think we ever did as a CG happens today! we went into the heineken showroom (that one with the ladies wardrobe and the one with all the beers on the other side) right in the middle of orchard road, and requested the person IC to let us scream inside! and they agreed! so the guys went to one side, the girls the other, and we shut the transparent doors, and started screaming at the top of our voice while reenacting the commercial! and we attracted the whole traffic crowd! everyone stopped and watch and cheered for us! woohoo! well, its once in a life time. the on-lookers might not even meet us for the 2nd time in their life. haha. but it was really fun! everyone have their share of laughter. and we bonded through such an act of randomness. kudos to all the "so on" peeps in my CG! there and then, we represent no one, no organisation, but ourselves. =)
