Christmas play... Round 1...

Carmen blogging...

Hello everybody. Been so busy with Christmas stuff. I finally found some time to update our blog. The Matthew and Friends event at Uncle and Aunty Tan's was successful. We all ate and ate. Gosh, I'm so fat already. You know la, our culture here. Everything we do, must eat also. What more during the festive season. Well a few more days to stuffing ourselves with more food until Christmas. Then it's exercise time. Well, hope I can stick to exercising cause I'm terrible at dieting. Well here are the pictures of us all....

Delicious, yummy food... Drool... There's ham, turkey, roti jala, curry chicken, fried beehoon etc... Fusion food... Uncle Tan.. the host... (with the mike)... Welcome everybody... Dig in everybody... See Alex cutting the turkey... Nobody knows how to except him... Anyway, he's from the US so that's how he knows how to do it... "Hey there"... Fernando greets... He's cute but can be quite mischievous... (from left)Uncle Kim Aun, Aunty Helen, Aunty Jasinta and Uncle Francis... They rather talk than eat... Not me... I would rather eat first... So hungry...

bloggin again...

carmen bloggin...

Firstly, the Open to the Call Weekend in Singapore... I know it's been ages since the Weekend but it was a lot of fun. I definitely learned a lot there about officership. I can say this has definitely confirm a lot for me even though I felt God has called me a few years back. I re-commit myself to God every year at every chance I get and I took the chance at this weekend. I even shared my testimony even though I told myself and God that I wouldn't share anymore because every time I shared I cried buckets. I get so emotional every time I share. But God really wanted me to share and I definitely cried. Maybe God wants me to cry buckets so that God can make other people shed tears too. Hahaha. Just joking. Anyway, my late night conversations with Priscilla was fun yet it was useful. It was like God using me and Priscilla to share with each other. Prissy, so fun. We definitely should do it very soon. Got to know Fiona a little bit more. I don't really get to see her here at the Home that often so I got to spend some time with her. Which was good. She also got to see her boyfriend, Andrew. They are so cute together. Such a pity I couldn't stay longer in Singapore. And then I have to return to Penang for exams.


Talking about the exams,
it ended on 3rd of December at 5pm. My mini 'Merdeka'. My very own independence day. My freedom from exams (for now). Anyway, it was okay. It was not bad. I just had such a wandering mind that I just couldn't focus on studying. Halfway studying, I would just think of random thoughts. Really random thoughts. Some of the thoughts are just so funny and a little embarrassing, so I would not share them. So, honestly, I did not get much studying done. So, I expect my results to be not that good. I can't expect God to give me straight A's when I didn't do my part. I just hope my part plus God's part can help me get okay results. I hope so much that I will not do badly. But I can't do anything now. It's all in God's Hands.


Exams are finally over and Christmas is coming. Yippee. So fun. We went for our first carolling gig at a posh, brand new hotel called simply g hotel. It was for the launch of the make a wish drive which they were having for the boys here at the Home. The boys have their wishes written on cards and hung on a big Christmas tree. Then the public can choose any boy's card and buy something for that boy. And the boy's wishes will be fulfilled by a generous donor. After singing, we had some refreshments.




Last Thursday, we and the boys went to watch enchanted. Gosh, it was good. It was funny and at times cheesy when they just start singing in the real world. But it was nevertheless good. Especially for girls like me, we wish we will have that 'live happily ever after' ending just like Princess Giselle. It makes me feel good. It left a cutesy and romantic feeling in me.

Last Friday, we went for Alicia's belated birthday dinner at Fish & co. They didn't get to celebrate in KL when I was in Singapore due to some circumstances. Which is great for me because I get to go out together with them and eat delicious food. Pictures taken by Angelynn. Seriously.

I then went out with my best friend, Stephanie after a very long time. We just talked and walked around. We only ate our lunch at Nando's at 3pm. Didn't get hungry before that. Must be the fish and chips I ate the night before. And I actually splurge my money shopping and eating. I spent about rm100 in one day which is quite a lot for me. I guess it was easier to spend the money this time because I just felt like it after the exams. I normally am very thrifty. No way I would spend my very own money like that.


Random pictures to share with all of you......






Last but not least is the good news I am about to make...

Me and Alicia are going to Singapore for a 2 week holiday from 9th Jan to 23rd Jan...

Yeah!!!

So everyone in Singapore we will see you all soon. Can't wait.
