It has been a wonderful Christmas, as compared to the previous years. This year’s Christmas was really different from what I would usually do in the past, because I have spent my time with the people from Y-HOPE instead. I guessed this has been the best Christmas so far ever.
The Christmas service at the Rock was great. There was good lighting, sound system, good performances and everything. I really enjoyed myself with two of my visitors, Daryl and Ruwan. In fact, I found the service was a little too short; the two hours seem to pass very quickly.


After the service, our unit YJCEA went to Chia ling’s place for our Christmas party. Our party was hosted by two fantastic hosts, both Puiwah and Rui xian. I really enjoyed the programme and the food as well. A big thank for all the contributions. I guessed I enjoyed caroling the most among all the activities. This was the first time I went caroling, but once I tried it, I fell into love with it. Caroling is indeed a good way to share the spirit and the joy of Christmas to others! We happily went around the terrace housing areas to caroling, singing to many unfamiliar faces. Even though I began to lose my voice, I still enjoyed it a lot. 12am was about to come by, and we were ready to countdown to this great day, the day when Christ Jesus was born some many years ago. We popped some sparkling juices, feasting on some delicious food …


After all this, some of us went to Jacob’s place to overnight. It was already in the middle of the night, so we have no choice but to cab there. Walking along the terraces area was quite creepy. With the sound made by the crickets and the frogs, it totally makes me having goose bumps all over. Fortunately, I was the first few we took the first cab and head over to Kakit Bukit. The so called Jacob’s place was actually on the second floor of a factory. It looks ordinary on the outside, but it was wonderfully nice in the interior. The room has three units of air conditioning, a plasma television, a DVD player, a pool table, a mahjong table… The place was simply too good to be true. I spent my Christmas playing mahjong, pool and also crapping with the people from the unit. Other than us, the NE people were there as well.


I cannot imagine that all the people from our unit were down before dawn. I was only the sole survivor after all…


Before Christmas day ended, I was at Vincent’s house eating steamboat. I have not eaten steamboat for quite some time already. So, it was really quite heart-warming to have steamboat to end my Christmas day. Really thank God for Vincent’s mother who fetches us home in the middle of the night. Thank God for her.
