19th December 2006,
6.00pm Tuesday evening. Finishing blog before go back. Uploaded some pictures in my Friendster- yeah, Christmas celebration picture. Dunno why, have some problems uploading picture, probably because the pictures size too large, or wrong formating. Not able to install new program to resize pictures, so got to make do of what I have here.
Was on-leave yesterday. Went to hospital with mum, to pass the sputum sample for culture and sensitivity test. Mum had cough for long time, almost a month and the Lung X-Ray shown to have few white spots. She has been taking antibiotic, hopefully it will lessen the cough. Or else, will take her to GMC for further check-up. After hospital, we went for dim-sum at Anson road, then went to Gurney for shopping. Manage to get a new shoe for mum- as Christmas present. After shopping, we went to buy paint- planning to repaint house. "Orchid White", nice colour huh? Went back home, trying to take out old paint...climbing high and low..oh, my hands so painful now, muscle aching, whole body aching. I plan to paint the entire whole house during the festive season-Christmas. Wanna make use of the holidays to get the "home Improvement" done. And now...am just not sure can finish in 2 days time. To get rid of the old paint for one wall has taken me half the day...Oh Gosh, ...can I make it?
I've attended 2 Christmas Party recently- Desa U CG (my ex-CG), and Zion CG (my ex-multiplied CG), and this Wednesday (tomorrow) ginna attend another Chrismas Party for Abundance CG. Joining too many Cgs' outreach makes me real tired..but yet it's fun. The 2 Cgs were very active and youthful, a lot of energy to play..to eat and to sing. Maybe I'm just too old, get tired easily with many programs. Phei asked me to join Carolling at Queesnbay Mall on 21st...Gosshh..I really don't think so. Had been joining Zion CG outreach last Sunday- caroling in the Jubliee Old Folks home. Very nice place, clean environment and spacious hall. Even with the might, our voices doesn't seem to fill the entire hall. But, hmm...we enjoyed ourselves a lot. Spending time with the old folks, and talking and listening to them. Indeed very fruitful day!
Yet, Christmas is not just about Caroling, Gifts, party, fun-time..Christmas is about Christ. His GIFT to us, and what is out gift to Him? It's a time to pause and reflecting back His goodness, our journey thru' life. To move forward- forgetting what lies behind, and moving forward for a better 2007, a better growing, more growth in our Spiritual life, to know Him more.
