Gifts, Gifts, Gifts....and more Gifts!

It's that time of the year again where we exchange gifts with our friends and loved ones. Recently our young adults group had a Christmas get together and each one brought a gift to exchange with each other. I have always loved shopping for gifts, so given a budget of RM10, I went looking for a nice gift that can be unisex...after all what if a guy ends up getting a hairclip, what is he going to do with it? Start cross dressing?

We had a lot of fun guessing what were in those mysterious looking and shaped packages. One of them were wrapped in just plain white paper but in the shape of a rocket. Another was wrapped up in layers and layers...and layers of paper! Happy unwrapping!! And another was wrapped up nicely but I think weighed about 2 kilos. The host happily tossed it over to one of the guys and it dropped with onto his lap and 'kena' his more tender parts of the body...Ouch!!

If you guys are wondering what could have been that heavy...well wonder no more. He unwrapped it and Wala...looks like a big doll in a box...but wait what's that wrapped up in brown? It's.....Red Apples!! He and his family will be eating red apples for at least the next one month...haha!

And what did I get? I got a most lovely candle that I have ever seen. I love the engraving on the candle and it's so pretty! Being an artistic person, I just absolutely loved the decorative embellishments on the letters which formed the word "LOVE". It also had some texture on the background, creating an aged effect. Whoever it was who gave the candle, THANK YOU!!! I really love it. It still sits on my bedstand and I just don't have the heart to burn it. Looks like another addition to my already crowded decorative items collection!


We also had a round of games and this time we played charade. It was great fun trying to figure out all the weird actions and the one that win top prize was the "mosquito". So how do you show a mosquito? Just poke one of your fingers on your forearm...that's a "Mosquito"!!!

Last but not least, our group photo...here's the whole crazy gang....

Why so downcast O my soul?

Recently I seem to be having a few upheavals in my personal relationships and also those around me. Don’t you get the feeling that sometimes months go by without something big happening and all of a sudden it all just comes pouring upon you? Is it me or it is absolutely no fault of mine. *blinks innocently* In the past few weeks, I seem to have upset one of the most patient and sweetest guy I know…though not intentionally. I’ve apologized and tried to make things better but he hasn’t been replying my messages nor picking up my calls. Zip. Nada. Nothing. I don’t know but lately I feel like whatever I say or do, people seems to be reacting negatively or things just blows up in my face. Then my brother did a very good job in making me feel like a failure by letting me know I am not making enough to help with the family finances. It’s bad enough that I am already frustrated with the fact that I do not have the resources to get a degree or get a place of my own… or even my own wheels. Now h...

Abundant Life...Do you have it?

"E06? What's that?" I had people asking me this question when I told them I am going for a conference at SIB KL. I actually not sure what the "E" stands for so I actually asked Ps. Lee Choo and she said it stands for 'exist'...which has a long history behind it. That's another story.... I nearly didn't go because the people who were supposed to go, all pulled out and I was the only one confirmed going. I had some trouble with finding transport as well, but I felt that God wanted me to be there and He provided me with all my transport needs...God is so good! "So how was e06?" This was the second most asked question to me when I came back from the conference. So to save time...and breath I decided to answer all these questions refering them to my blog. Smart eh?!! Hehe...I am excited to share with everyone what I've learned at the conference so I 'm going to share about each session. I will try, I said TRY to keep it sh...

Absolutely Delirious

The AYA Festival 2006 is on again! And this time we have Delirious coming to town. For those who are not familiar with this group, they are the ones who wrote these familiar songs which we sing during our worship like, “I can sing of Your love forever” or “Did you feel the mountains tremble?” One of my favourite is “The Happy Song” though I first heard it sung by Chris Tomlin. Nothing prepared me for the incredible performance that they put up. The sound system was world-class…I think they brought in their own mixers and stuff and the effects were really amazing. It was like watching a U2 or some international band in concert. At yet this band is incredibly humble and is only glad they can serve and minister God’s Word through their music. They utterly availed themselves to AYA to use them fully and make their time here in Malaysia as fruitful as possible. I know that fame can really get into some people’s head and cause them to glorify their music more than God. But this is no...
