ok merry xmas ><i have difficulties in blogging recently, just not sure how to start haha. it's been another wonderful xmas. the services were great in one way and another. it was fun to do backstage managing, to see how everyone gave their best before the carols, before and in between the drama, before the testimony, before the song presentation, etc etc, the hard work and things unseen on stage. though we couldn't see the ppl in the auditorium, we just prayed our best that many hands would be lifted to cross the line. all in all, it ended well. christmas is my fave season, peace and joy everywhere, God is moving powerfully.
had a great xmas party at dome last nite, our unit booked the whole place and there were quite a lot of ppl showed up. we came very early to have our last rehearsal, exchanged gifts and cards.. met a number of new friends, played a lot of fun and silly games, presented the skit and won it hahaha... i am so proud of my cg, so many hidden talents =p grace was so good that she won the best actress and i think weiling deserved a lot of credits yah, but of course everyone played a great part as well, hard work is the key. $30 swensens' voucher will be well spent this week.
we went for midnight narnia after that, the movie's really not bad though i was struggling a bit, felt extremely sleepy n tired. susi fell asleep -_-" anyway we shared cab with ronnie (our new friend), quite amusing, he's very friendly haha.. very sincere yah.
spent almost whole day sleeping today, i'm pretty sure that's what most ppl did as well. went out in the evening, oh before i forgot 'happy bday dewen' =)
i had xmas dinner at clarke quay with a very funny combo once again, i wonder how we could end up in one table together. but it was nice all in all haha..
hrmm minus bao, jacob and wenjun
hrmm i was thinking about many stuff.. the family of God. pastor was right, 'home' is indeed a special word. i feel blessed. i want to make a tribute to youth:
it's the place where i 'grew up'.. from my first day joining the ss.. the time when i was unwilling to go cg cos i wanted to stay at home and watch tv.. my first cg in YS.. the challenge to rise up as a leader which i didn't want to take.. the tithe that i didn't want to make.. oh well i was quite disobedient =p
my first day ushering that led me all the way to become team leader, floor manager and eventually service manager and led the whole team hope.. my days at marcom under gloria, eve, serene.. my first official role in cg as game master.. led a disastrous pnw.. my first sheep maggie.. all the hard work in DI, days after days pioneering schools.. taught 18 lessons in chinese.. bitten by sheep a lot.. lost my good friend.. and of course the joy of finding lost souls.. a CL.. a UL.. rushing to jasmine's dmm haha.. my early days of guitar learning.. striving for cg404.. prayed like mad.
being in ywam.. tons of memories, good and bad.. served hard.. played hard.. found many who were, are and will always be close to my heart.. all the new experiences on mm, stage managing and many more..
i was at the backstage alone on the last few min of the ss yesterday and i just smiled to myself. the contract has ended and at long last i'm finally done with the youth. from where i was to where i am now.. wow.. God is faithful. really really.. faithful.
giving myself fully to the work of the Lord cos i know that my labor in the Lord is not in vain.... it shall continue on =)
