wah i feel so fulfilled and joyful this Christmas! God moved in so many many hearts. i heard Him in my heart.

or and did i mention i saw the same gay guy at somerset who approached me the other time at bishan mrt. wah gosh i was freaked out but there was no where to run. he was giving out phamplets. then he recognised me oh my goodness! he stared at me and said something to me which didnt even get into my head. i just pretended to didnt hear him and just walked off. partly out of disgust and partly out of fear. and i got so paranoid and kept seeing if he was following me again.

helped them move stuff to kallang theater from nexus on thursday morning at 10am. apparently they had LOTS of stuff to move, around 3-4 truck loads. kaiwen went with me to move em, along side simon from adult service, jerel and sherman. and they rented had this gigantic sound mixer thats SO SO SO SO SO HEAVY!!!! its so heavy it took like 12 guys to move it and yet we were struggling. my back ached and my hands totally went beyond numb lah. esp since i had to move the mixer up the stairs facing backwards to the back. and i think we kinda tore the covering of a few chairs along the way. and it didnt help when the peeps running kallang theater didnt even offer a helping hand but just went on rambling about how dead we are gonna be. i mean like pls lah we were struggling with that machine!! haha okay nevermind..

didnt sing for the youth service cause had to accompany jon tay with this ajc dude who was brought by an adult with her friend from the adults service. apparently the adult who brought him was his teacher!! sec sch i think. okay lah quite a quiet dude, saying he cant come to church cause of family persecutions and all. dont worry bro!! if u are willing to face this challenge, the CG would be beside you all the way! remember, God wont test you beyond what you can bear yeah!?

so i had the privilege to watch the whole service. i think it went REALLY well. the video was very amazing, very well made. and the props were amazing, esp the giraffes!! so huge lah gosh. and when the head tilted i thought it was gonna fall off! haha but yeah people with good brains manage to make it do that without the head falling off by attaching some sort of bamboo pole to the head.

the sermon was pre-believers friendly, but still had so much insight and truth to it the seemed to cut so many hearts.

and Magi sang Amazing Grace(He choose the nails), so so so well!! okay she's officially the best female singer i know in my life. period. as i sat there and listened to the song reading the lyrics, i seriously had lots of mixed feelings. so thankful and yet so humbled. and when pastor jeff shared the story of 'Derek Redmond' i nearly teared lah. i could see how so many of us fell at that 200m mark, and struggling to pick ourselves up, carrying the burden of that 'broken hamstring', and how from the corner of the scene God comes running towards us, and He put our arm around His shoulder, and walked along side with us towards the finishing line. it seemed so real. His love so simple yet so deep.

and the altarcall for salvation was so amazing. i saw so many lives saved that day, probably the most youths accepting Christ i seen at church before at a go. Merry Christmas all you new brothers and sisters!! keep Christ and Christmas close to your hearts yeah!!

then i joined the choir(who turned out to be bunch of real interesting people) to sing for tertiary+young adults service. yup it was real fun, haha Christmas carols and all. so much joy lah seriously. then we rushed down for NE Christmas party at Joo Chiat road. we carolled for the peeps at the restaurant and all. then it ended so late that there wasnt even bus outta Joo Chiat road. so we prayed for a cab, and IMMEDIATELY. a cab pulled up beside us. best part is, we didnt even see it coming and didnt even have to flag it down!! haha but okay, cab fare in total ard $17. heart pain!!

and i woke up real early today to go down for family service.. haha okay i was late for the actual reporting time. oh well. and the atmosphere is real diff in family service. it felt more homely though, even though it was a smaller crowd. we didnt even have to use the balcony. and during altarcall for salvation i saw such a touching sight!! this old couple came down the the aisle at the front. the lady was tearing walking beside her husband. i kinda wondered who was the one getting saved. i glanced over at her husband and saw him wiping his eyes. haha then pastor jeff went, "finally, after so many years u accept Christ." then after they got prayed for they hugged each other. i think the woman had been trying to bring her husband to Christ for so many years alr. eh i think u gotta be there to see it lah, i am doing a lousy job trying to depict such a loving scene haha. and i nearly teared lah gosh. but then again i realised i had makeup on and had no idea what would happen if i teared. haha oh well.

i feel so joyful this Christmas!! and got to spend alot of quality time with my sheep jon. thanks for all the Christmas cards and gifts! you all are deeply appreciated and loved! if not by me then by Jesus haha. ah appreciate everyone lah so much, my guys, the whole CG, team xiaobi!, the singers, and everyone else whom i probably had missed out!

and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a blessed year ahead!
