the season is here again!!



christmas is just five days away..i am more excited this year. this year i'm goin to be extremely busy before christmas..a lot of shopping to be done, preparation to be done and a journey to take "balik kampung". my siblings are all goin back this year..and even my darling is goin back with me. so my house will be full this year plus my just-married sis is gonna bring her husband back. so for the record, this coming christmas gonna be a history in our family. for once in a decade, finally we gather together in a big, complete members of the family :)
i have always dream for this to happen, because it is always i'm the one who was not there, each time my family have gathering, party or reunion. i missed a lot of those, coz i was always away since i was 13 until now.
i'm thankful because i still had fresh memories of my childhood christmas celebration back in my village, because of that, the spirit of celebrating christmas back in my village keep burning in me each year the season come. part from that, meeting my grandmother is priceless to me, coz during my childhood, i was so close to her. i have always miss her, no matter how far i went to study or work.
well can't wait for it..anyway my holiday begin this saturday until next year. till then guys, have a merry christmas and a joyful new year! God bless you!

devotion


i like devotion..what i mean by devotion is a time alone with God while reading His words, praying and communicating with God. living in this world with burdens on our back is hard. But God lift up the burden for us if we let Him.
one online devotional material that help me a lot is the 'our daily bread'. when i was still studying, i subscribe to the quarterly booklet, and RBC send me the booklet of our daily bread for free. it went on for years until i finished my study. nowadays, i did not subscribe anymore, but thanks to God for the internet, i got to read it online everyday.

wedding bliss

last week was the real deal. i reached kl on wednesday, when i reached my bro's house it was around 8pm already..as always kl was jammed and raining..i was soaked. anyway, Thanks to God, i'm still very familiar with the place and the public transport.
the whole familiy except one of my brother were ther, getting everything ready for the wedding. my sis couldn't care less of every single details she need for the holy matrimonial. beside, it is us the family who are always checking with her if everything is ready...
well, on the 2nd, as early as 5am, we were up and my youngest sis was the first to take shower, hehhehe..she 'potong' the bride's turn. but later on, i was the first to get dress..while the beautician getting the bride's face and hair done. my nephews were next in my list to be dressed. i grab both of them, do their bows and vest and finally their hair.
then i became the make up artist, putting make up on my youngest sis, eldest sis, cousin and mom's face. i was already sweating, in my bride's maid dress. then i help my sis with her bridal gown..after she was done, it take not more than 2 minutes for the beautician applying makeup on my face. then i get my hair done, after that we are off to the church.
we reached the church right on time, then the ceremony begin, my sis and her new husband look wonderful. both families have the same expression of joy and thankful after the wedding bow were said and rings were on each of the bride and bridegroom's hand. at last they were married :)
after the holy matrimonial was done, we have wedding reception at the church itself. during the reception, we exchange thanks to all family members, friends, colleagues and church members who were there to witness the wedding. the food was nice, i like the sweet and sour fish, and how i wish my brother Peter, my brother in law Stephen and my boyfriend Denny were there joining us that day.
But for the bride and the bridegroom, it was the perfect day for both of them. i am so happy to see my beloved sis with her husband that day, coz all this while i hv been dreaming of their wedding, something that the whole family has been waiting for. i am sure that my father is very proud of his dauhgter. and he got only two more unmarried dauhgters hahhaha..well next one is coming dad..hehhehe
