with MIL TIFF AND LIZZY!!!
the rhythm ministry was so cool! next time im gonna join the rhythm ministry and bang along with them! even if it means i have to wear those tribal-looking outfits. so fun! pastor alvin chan gave the candlelight message about the meaning of christmas, and we attempted to sing so many hymns we werent familiar with!
and of course the most fun part was LIGHTING THE CANDLES!! they switched off all the lights and we were almost in complete darkness. then the ushers started to pass the flame on, people were passing the flame on to one another, and soon the whole place was lit up!! such a pretty sight! :D apparently i poked my candle up the base of the cup the wrong way and the WAX so cunningly trickled down when i wasn't looking and BURNT my fingers! haha well it didnt really hurt. im just exaggerating. on the contrary it felt nice and warm, like the flame :D the funniest was my DAD! he was so engrossed with singing the hymn, his booming voice so loud among the other voices, and his paper cup suddenly caught fire from the flame and one-quarter of his cup went up in smoke, literally! haha he's so silly sometimes.
this little light of mine! im gonna let it shine! let it shine, let it shine, let it SHINE!!!!
the last time i went for candlelight in wesley was when i was like 5 or something. so i always thought we light up the candles to get into the christmas mood, and we could all be like the pretty shiny ornaments on the christmas tree! haha but i guess not :D we light the candle to symbolize the Morning Star that the wise men followed. it signifies how we will persevere in following the light through pain and joy, and even if other people call us fools we will gladly be 'fools' like those wise men, and continue to follow the Morning Star for Christ! something like that :D
SI-EYE-LENT NIGHT... HO-OH-LY NIGHT....
after the whole service we went for supper at chinatown something something market? i dunno. but practically all the stalls with the good food had already closed for the day. nevertheless, there was CARROT CAKE! hahaha and on the way home my whole family actually had a very engaging conversation/debate about today's message, the meaning of Christmas, what it means to be 'saved' and all kinds of different perspectives on various topics. WOW. my mummy and sis are so knowledgeable. i love it whenever we start talking about all these and my mummy suddenly starts talking a whole lot that she churned out from bible study many years ago :D so impressive. and i could only give my two cents worth here and there. even my bro was so cute. asking all kinds of weird questions that were.. intellectual to some extend. hahaha but we came to a conclusion that some things just cannot be comprehended. Like our mind trying to figure our mind out. 
min looks kinda spooky if u just keep staring at her. and cute little piggy there claims he doesnt know how to smile. poor chap :)
and when i came home, all jolly and cheerful from today's events, i found 3 christmas cards on my table, posted to me!! it just made my day even better!!! hahaha thank you STACE JUN and LIZ!! love u guys!
can't wait for tmr's christmas eve service at ym! we can all celebrate christmas eve together!! (and then go shopping afterwards with my mummy... hehehe)
I've finally found a reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him...
We are the reason, that He gave His life
We are the reason, that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
