It's been a busy busy busy last 2 weeks of 2008! And I wouldn't be around on the last night of 2008 so here's an early last post!

2008 has been, one of the nicer years for me and I'm really grateful for the wonderful things and people that I've met.

So I'm hoping that 2009 would also be another great year! With many events and exciting new things to come. Like Chingay! And more!:D

Happy new year everyone!

And in a flash, it's Christmas again! After the frantic working days and many not-so-happy things, it finally feels like Christmas. And as I'm typing this post, the clock is ticking for the many party-goers out there that are counting down to the very day Christ was born. So with chilly winds blowing like it's nobody's business, here's a blessed, blissful and beautiful Christmas to each and every one of you out there! :D

Yes, we've all heard it thousands of times and some have us have probably watched the video a hundred or two times already but no harm when it's good, no?

So here goes, Katy Perry's Hot N' Cold:

Purpose.


Sitting in the reflection session for last Saturday's leaders' training, I listened to Mr Alvin Lee mention the word,'purpose' multiple times. He states that there would be no value if there were no purpose. And it set me thinking...



This is probably the busiest Christmas and also the very first working one of my life. I'd say it's a lil' tiring and at times it takes the festive mood out of you. But listening to The Sandcastle Story last night, I started wondering,"What is my purpose in singing with the choir and the church a capella group, in volunteering for Chingay and being in the volunteer exco for that matter? What is the value of doing all these things and keeping my December filled to the brim?"


And I suppose this would take awhile, to find purpose in everything that I do and create value.


{ I do, cos' I want to. I do, cos' I love you. }

Awaking to a bright and sunny Wednesday morning -despite the nonsensical tantrums of my fan- I began the morning routine of washing up and grabbing the orange juice from the fridge. Drinking from the carton, I picked up my schedule, and with the resonant chimes of the wind chime filling the air around the apartment, I started keying in the many meetings and activities that I have in December. After what felt like forever, I was done. Staring at the calendar in my cell phone, I instantaneously realised that my 3-week vacation is nearly filled to the brim! Dejection sinks in. Somebody refund me my December.

Finally... 3 weeks of vacation!!!

I went to watch the TPCC Christmas concert at the Esplanade Concert Hall last night with Bernice, Tracy and Daren. It wasn't too bad. A whole range of different Christmas songs, most unheard of in my case but I still enjoyed it.

Today was pretty simple and enjoyable. There was the preview for the Aca group in church which I thought went pretty well and then it was lunch with the peeps and tea with my parents. At last, I feel alive again.

And presenting... My very first Benefit cosmetic! Bought by Mummy dearest, I now get to tap into the wonderful world of Benefit cosmetics. Now I shall be more motivated to study hard, get a job with great pay and indulge myself silly. Ah, tis' is the season to be jolly.

Have a great long weekend, everyone! ♥

I'm on hiatus. Till MSTs end.
