It's so much more than a public holiday, it's a time when I remember my Creator who became His creation to identify with us...Timeless, He became limited by the laws of time; All-powerful, He became limited by the laws of physics; Sinless, He bore the sins of all men to reconcile us back to a Holy God.
I think I've been carried away with all the celebrations and hanging out with friends that I forgot to hang out with my Saviour, Jesus. So tomorrow I'll meet up with a few good friends to meet with God and have tea with Him :)
Anyway, here are a few snapshots of this glorious holiday :D haha...
Booked out from camp in the afternoon only to go home & chiong Christmas cards and then head to our first gathering :D
Jake invited the zone for a Christmas Eve dinner @ his relative's place @ Clearwater condo :) But we (my siblings & I) had to go back by 9pm cos we also had a family dinner with all our uncles and aunties on my mum's side :D
Me & Ah tan :D
Maverick & I :)
Reached back home for another round of eating! :D HAHA!
Jeravan, Me, Selina & Jerina :)
Me playing Christmas carols :)
That was my Christmas eve...Haha.
CHRISTMAS! :) Had a normal Christmas service....The skit was like...5 mins long? HAHA. So how was Christmas almost stolen? It wasn't portrayed in the uber short skit. Haha...O well, I guess this production was pretty last minute.
After service was a huge mass of people smiling, shaking hands and exchanging cards and gifts :D And guess what? I forgot to bring a carrier to hold all the gifts and cards...HAHA! I felt kinda guilty cos I didn't write many cards and didn't give any gifts this year...Cos I was half the time in camp and was overseas during my block leave...haha.
Anyway, it's sometimes good to receive more than you give...HAHA! That's when you know the friends that love you when they don't get anything in return...HAHAHA!
Up! Duno how did Jonathan become the balloon man..haha
2nd take w/o a monkey trying to burst all the balloons...HAHA! Just kidding xiao hua :D
After all the hustle and bustle of exchanging gifts and cards, me, Abigail, Yining, Zi Hui, Xiuling, Jeremy Teo, Jonathan Wee, Joshua Heng, Matthew Thang, Marc Wan and Caleb Lim headed for lunch @ Shabu Shabu in Katong! :) Haha...It's a really cool place which serves individual steamboat :D Prices are ok and the ambience is a cosy, light-hearted one :)
Table layout :)
The Js - Jonathan Wee, Jeremy Teo & Jonavan Lee :)
After leaving with a full tummy, we headed to the LAN shops located just a street away :D HAHA! L4D2 is always exciting...With my screaming & shouting, you can count on that...HAHA!
Reached home to have a sumptuous hawker dinner with my family and then we proceeded to play pool @ our condo :) In case you're wondering how come I still have residental access to the facilities, we still own our condo...we just rented it out..Haha.
Jerina and her miraculous shots...haha!
Of course, me :) HAHA! With Timothy & Jeravan @ the table :)
Kinda sad we didn't have a Christmas chalet...Jon Wee wanted to organise it, but too last minute so can't materialise. Next year when he ORD he'll have more time to organise..Haha. Looking forward to it :D LOLS!
Today's boxing day - 26th December! :D I still don't know why it's called Boxing Day by the way...If you do know, do enlighten me by leaving the answer as a comment on my post...HAHA!
Anyway, I watched Avatar 3D today! :) Watched it with 2 other SCTs (Specialist Cadets) Chor Seng & Guang Yao, both my poly best friends :)
Avatar is a REALLY, REALLY good show. More than entertaining you for around 2.5 hours, the screenplay sucks you into their world...It's as if I'm the main character in an RPG game...Haha.
The storyline's really good compared to most sci-fi, alien invasion shows. The emotional dilemmas and psychological struggles brought out in this flick are also above average.
What's more, I heard that the directors even bothered to get people to invent a language for the aliens!! So what the Pandora-ians are speaking aren't gibberish, they are an invented language consisting of up to 3000 words thus far!
The story writer and graphic designer also gave detailed drawings and functions to the numerous creatures featured and great effort was put in to plot out the map and background of the planet Pandora.
It's a must watch movie...It's already been nominated for 4 Golden Globes...So do catch it! :) haha.
Ok, after the movie was our zone thanksgiving @ Jeremy Wee's house! :) We simply ate, play games and did skits to thank our cell leaders :)
Wonderful time together :) Pictures are all captured mainly by Anthony's camera and Joel's camera I think...Haha. So yup, check out facebook soon :)
Merry CHRISTmas! :)
