20th December '08: Dover Celebrates Christmas!this was some Residents' Committee event which SJSM decided to take part in this year.
i was really looking forward to it cos i knew it was going to be just like Rice day, as fufilling, as rewarding, as accomplishing.
true enough, i saw some of the residents of Blk3 whom i gave rice to and they even asked what time's the christmas service.
really great to see more ppl coming to know God (:
BUT THEN,
when i woke up ytd morning, i had high fever and sore throat and i lost my voice.
felt so tired/weak/lethargic that i knew it was impossible to last 10hours at the event.
then i prayed.
and it's just so wonderful to see God work his little miracles into our lives.
within the next hour, my fever subsided, my voice came back, and my sore throat disappeared (:
was that amazing or what?
so yes, i went for DCC from 1230 to 2300 knowing God was my pillar strength and true enough, he sustained me all the way.
until when i reached home and had a splitting headache and felt like the world was spinning 100km/s ):
photos!
yay me the water girl! (forgot why i gave that face for)
the band right in front of us which entertained us with wonderful music throughout the night for like 6 hours?
it looked nicer at night and real life (:
the 3 of us at the order counter + Elaine our cluster leader!
our stack of orders at the end of day yay (:
all in all, DCC was a success with even the MP and RCs coming down to grace the event (:
food was Yum, with Botak Jones fries, Starbucks coffees, Mrs Fields' cookies and brownies and much more!
anyway, my wish on 29th nov came true!
yes indeed, i got a chance to sit by the beach and marvel at the beauty that is God's creation.
and even on a special day.
how wonderful it is, sitting on the sand late at night, beneath the stars and just listening to the sound of the waves.
and with a special SOMEone.
yay, i'm contented and blessed (:
now, ask me what does christmas mean to me.
i'll tell you, christmas means Emmanuel.
Emmanuel, God is with us.
every year, as we approach christmas, i would have mixed feelings abt it.
happiness, and yet fear.
fear of what is ahead, what is to come in the New Year.
all the trials and tribulations, will i be able to overcome it all unscathed?
Next year is the Alevels examinations, most probably one of the biggest examinations in our lives.
but i know i'm not afraid.
cos God is with me, He will be there, to ride me out of each and every single storm that i might face in the coming year.
and that's why i'm looking forward to CAMP: fire '08!
yipee!
420 stars, 421 with you.
