This, this is Christ the King

Blessed Christmas!!
For to us a child is born, to us a Son is given.

This Christmas was a busy but meaningful one. Reminiscing the Christmas events that I had, I'm getting grateful for what has been done for this Christmas, and... the gifts that I've received in this blessed Christmas.
It all started with caroling at Joyce's shop on the 23rd. Disperse crowd was upsetting but as I was singing, somehow, I was reminded that we have a purpose for this caroling and the purpose is Christ, the son that is given at no cost. Yep, despite the disperse crowd, I really enjoyed the caroling.
I could only express how great was the candlelit service on 24th in just one word. Wonderful. This year, I finally brought my sister to church. She seemed normal, but I could feel that her heart was filled with Thanksgivings. Thanking God for what has done for her. After the service, everyone went down for refreshments and there, I received Christmas gifts and blessings from all the sweet ones. And then the night began. We left church before the clock struck 12 for movie with the QLC youths. SHERLOCK HOLMES. There were more than 20 of us watching and we occupied almost 3 rows of the cinema seats. After the show, it was already half past 2. For once, I was allowed to stay out late at such hour. Took a lift from Josiah and reached home at 3. So, did a preparation for Christmas service and finally get a good rest at 4.
Woke up at 8, brushed up, get set and flet home within 30 minutes for dance rehersal and preparation at 9. Service at 1045 and we had a performance item during the service as follows. CAPTIVATE US.





After the service, went for caroling at uncle young kwang's house. It was touching to sing for them when they wanted to dedicate one of the dialect song for their granny. I felt so welcomed by their warm hospitality.
Chilled out at island creamery with Chongs, Huiling, Yaps, and Jon Snr. A scoope of soursop sorbet and little talks enliven the day.
Shared Christmas evening with relatives at Yen Ling's place. Ended Christmas by opening up gifts with my sister that's all for Christmas.
