Christmas Celebration

How did I celebrate Christmas 2006?

1) Friday - Fancy Dress Party at workplace

2) Saturday - Christmas Service @ Kallang

That was fantastic! The props they made, the actors and actresses.. they are fabulous. Not forgetting the choir, the music team, the singers...

I was absolutely touched.. Church to me, has been like 2nd home. It's usually in events as such that we see how people come together with one common goal and purpose.

3) Sunday Christmas Eve - Christmas HopeKids service @ Kallang (Morning)

Gosh.. what a GREAT crowd there was! Kids were overflowing.. I don't know about the rest. To me, time just simply fly past me without knowing. By the time service is over & packing up is done, I had no more energy. All energy seemed to be sapped out of me! I was so glad to be going home to rest before my evening event. I decided that I may not be cut for a childcare teacher. Hahaha!!!


Christmas celebration @ Hog's Breath (Evening)
Met up with my Brisbane friends for Christmas celebration. (that's the underlying reason) More importantly, we met up to celebrate Carol and Janice's birthday.

I am always amazed by this group of friends. You know.. it's always usually very hard to have more than 8 people coming up with a date/time in unison. 8 different people with 8 different lives. Yet, 4 (who initially couldn't make it) still made this event a priority. When their event was cancelled, meeting us up was the next in top priority - even one who was sick!

2006 has been one fruitful year for us. For the record, we have met at least 3 times and with each time, new friends (partners of friends) are made & friendships were renewed..



4) Monday Christmas Day

Sleep!!! I woke up at 11:30am then made my way to Ikea with my family. Gosh.. we basically queue for everything except paying. Queued for a parking lot. Queued for a seat to lunch. Then, it was so crowded that it was so hard to walk having to be so careful about treading upon someone's feet.

After which, I made my way to Parkway Parade. My dear sister spoilt a top while ironing so we went searching. By the time I was home, I just wanted to stone... :P

Getting ready for work tomorrow & looking forward to the next long holiday...!
