Carolling fun

The two nights of carolling have been really nice. Thank God for the opportunity to sing praises to God and share the Joy of Jesus especially in this season.

I thought Chris and Yesh did very well in their solo parts, it always stunned the people, every time when they came up to sing people kept looking back kind of like asking, who's that singing. Good job girls. And of course to Li Ern who conducted the whole thing, making sure everyone knew what line came next in Silent Night among other things. And of course to everyone who made it on time or sort of on time and gave their voices and hands to carry the instruments and to bless others. To people like simon behind the scenes working, for pastor and aunty mei for their support and effort. Not forgetting other who came to show support and take pictures. ;)

It was a time where the girls looked their best, where they guys forgot the lyrics and looked silly just mouthing words. It was a time to relax and enjoy the season of good tiding to all men as we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Doing the interview for the Christmas service, we asked a few people on the street what they thought about Christmas and got a variety of responses but the one that really struck me was one where mdn. Agnes was saying, when we remember great people, we don't necessary celebrate the day they were born but rather their achievements and their accomplishments. Think of Christopher Columbus, or Thomas Edison, you don't have any memory of how they would have looked like when they were babies but rather we remember that for Chris, he discovered America and for Tom, sound.

Why don't we remember the greatness of Jesus in what He did and not how cute he was. Not to belittle the birth of Jesus, but for a change. Why not?

I feel so honoured to be part of the team, and I thank God for all the opportunities to be a blessing.

what season is it?

For everything under the sun there is a time and a season. As long as the earth remains seed time and harvest shall not seize. So what season is it now?

I seem to be surrounded by people who are going through relationship problems, some wonderful some not so good. And I know that in all things God works it out for the GOOD of those who love Him, ALL who are called according to His purpose.

And sometimes relationships end, and its kind of like putting out a candle. The light goes off but there is still smoke lingering until it fades away. Others end without much struggle and you thank God its over.

Yet some are like a cartoon i watched where even after blowing out the candle it comes up again, and again which is troublesome because it keeps you preoccupied with just turning it off and not getting on with whatever you need to do. {poor elmer ford}

I don't want to sound all emo but I'm really confused now. Never thought things could get so complicated. Its 1:28 now and I should be in lala land where nothing's real and its peaceful, but here I am listening to planetshakers while i make this post.

I remember what pastor Hii said, blogs should bring hope, especially blogs by christians and even though I really want to share my heart to its full extent, I will refrain and think about the kindness of God instead, how about that.

I know that God is pure good, and everything He does is for the good of His Children, for when we ask for bread He would not give us a stone to chew on. And His wisdom far exceeds anything we can muster. Wow I feel better.

Father, even though things are very hectic and I dunno what is the right decision to take, I want to be fully confident in Your love, knowing that nothing can separate us from Your love. And if you care for the sparrows, I am of more worth and a bunch of birdies. So i throw myself at Your love and care, knowing you will take care of everything and at the end I will go thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You. Hehe. I just want to thank You Father for Your love. Arigato o-tou san.

alvin and the chipmunks




I wasn't too pleased when I was told that instead of watching I am legend, we'll be watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. I used to watch the cartoons when it showed on tv and liked it. Those chipmunky sounds the little critters make. Think of the sound of Akon's song lonely times 3 with more melody and dancing. Man cg has come a long way.

I enjoyed the movie very much. It follows a very predictable theme of lost, found, taken, rescued, happy ending. Yay. I guess i'm getting old quickly, or maybe i need to loosen up and really enjoy myself.

Was talking to one of my close friends and she said I don't have much to say these days and I find that she's right. i dunno, the world just seems more serious these days.

Oh yeah the movie. What would you do when three talking beavers, sorry chipmunks follow you home in a basket full of stolen muffins? Show them off? Well that's what anyone would do, and that what Dave did and got disappointed when his once hysterical chipmunks became pitiful, possibly abused animal in front of other people. Think about the cute sorry face the cat in Shrek made time 3 with a scared demeanour, priceless :D

The rodents are cute and the movie was fun and funny. Good if you have young ones lying around with nothing better to do. So i give it a 4/5. And I was glad we didn't watch I am legend since i heard its quite boring.

some of the things i miss

I feel so lazy to blog these days, nothing much to talk about yet i feel like i need to update this thing so yeah.

I'm back in kuching, again. Going back to miri only reminded me of how much i miss my friends there. Thank God that Oliver was still there otherwise i would have been homeless for 3 days. Without the students Senadin is practically a ghost town.

The supp was ok. I thank God for that, and thanks to everyone who stood by me with encouraging words and stuff.

What I miss. I miss hanging out with friends, eating out and stuff. I guess I'm having a taste of how working life feels but it doesn't have to be this way. I know.

Yeah like i said, nothing much to say here today, only that i'll be going to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks today.
