Some tots on Christmas Eve

I read some of my frens blogs.. and see that on JY and Minmin's one, that there was a common theme of being grateful, of being aware of what God has done in their lives over the one year.

I think it is a virtue i really need to adopt- being truly grateful.

As i reflect on the meaning of Christmas, i am grateful that God has sent His Son, Jesus as a living sacrifice for all of us. What i admire more about Jesus is that He was never a whiner, never someone who was depressed, never was someone who bowed down to authorities of this earth.
For Someone who knew that He was coming here to die by one of the most terrible means in the ancient world, how can He not be depressed? The Bible descibes Jesus as " a man of sorrows" but yet, He did not ever imposed them on his disciples.

He never did whine abt the kind of death he was to suffer, which if i were in his shoes, i wld probably told the whole world abt it.

Christmas is my favourite festive holiday in the whole year, bcos there is always this silent simplicity on this special day. though many might be busy with Christmas shopping and all, but there is a serene peace that is associated with this day...

I went to church today.. and the christmas service was good..
though it was done in a traditional style where we kept standing up and sitting down..
but we sang carols and traditional songs...

I would wan to share one song that i love very much...
The name of the song is "Mary did you know?"
*************************************************************
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby you've kissed the face of God.

The blind will see The deaf will hear
The dead will live again The lame will leap
The dumb will speak The praises of The Lamb

Mary, did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the Great I Am.

Pre- Christmas Mood

With Corrine May's newest Christmas album songs playing in the background, the strange cocktail of moods starts to swirl together leaving me all bitter sweet and yet tinge of after sweetness remains...

Realised that i miss Christmas in singapore after all..
I miss all my frens in singapore...
Miss all the sights and sounds...
Miss the smell of rain in singapore...

The Pre-Christmas post

It suddenly struck me that Christmas is REALLY ard the corner.
Somehow or other, i am caught in the whirlpool of work, managing my personal life and my social life that i have lost touch with how time flies.
It is a subtle reminder that i have been here for 3 mths, and another reminder that the year is going to end.
I feel that this year i had more questions than ever but no answers.
more whys and hows... and more of silence.

The shops are all pretty with red and white/ green decorations..
There is no way the shops in Singapore can do that..The Christmas mood is indeed stronger in this land. it is really very much commericalised..
FAR more than Singapore. okies, mayb i shld stop this singapore- boston ting..

I have been busy with work, and not been able to get away frm it to do some decent shopping.. until i went Wrentham. It is basically a branded factory outlet, with brands that many are worshippnig.. Levis, Guess, Coach... a Guess bag can be bought at 19 dollars ..

Thanks to kwast,SM and HB for sending me cards over here...
I really appreciate it.. It means a lot to me getting them.. and they are so pretty!!
They remind me that i am not forgotten and i have pple back in singapore who are waiting for me to go back... :)

Thank God for that.

My apologises...

My dears,
Ur fren here is very sorry that i have not kept this blog updated as much as i would want to see it being done.
I'm truly sorry abt that...
As much as i tried... I can only call that few pple during the wkend within the notions of reasonable hours.. in singapore and not haunting pple durin the wee hrs of the night...

Personally i came to some realisations ..
1. I am going to give up "him", for those of u who noes abt him..
Reason being that i have been disappointed with him, and i think that it is plainly and crystal clear that he does not feel the same way abt me. Period. and i dun wan to continue to hope in it anymore.What ever i could have done, i had done.

2. I am introduced to the harsh world of politics, manipulsiveness, with all sort of pple in place.
Some pple juz wan to make use of u. It is scary, how pple can be like hidding a dagger in their "nice" smiles... Very scary...

3.Have been working on a Project called HCF. It's been good and the amt of starting material that i am working on is getting larger and larger, and it can get scary cos i need to do a reaction with a certain amt of danger in that.
On the team, my sup and another gossipy GUY, and one competnet and one incompetent chemist. a conclustion that i get for this- COMMUNICATION IS REALLY IMPT!

4.the reason y i am coming to this blog again is bcos i think it is easier for me to update many pple at one go, instead of getting individual pple... at least i can still get some other pple that i dun call updated. I'm realy sorry abt this- i get tired after coming home frm wrk( tat's like staying most of the day) and then i cook dinner, finished dinner, take a bath.and the time is 9pm. MSN, read Bible- 11-12 pm.
Tat's my day.
So i find it hard to maintain contact, esp the distance, esp the time difference...
Zhong Hua and WAng Fang, how do u all maintain contact with home and ur frens?
Pls tell me.... :)

Tat's all for now, i am tired... (-.-)zzZZ
