A crazy christmas

Just realised I could blog with my phone! This is how cool. Anyway I had fun watching A Crazy Christmas awhile ago with CX, MR and Rach Lim. Its such fun watching this concert. Worth a catch people. In fact, they are selling $2 shows for the 2nd and 9th Dec. They are doing these shows specially for the foreign workers in Singapore. If you have a domestic helper and would like to bless her with a real early but meaningful Christmas gift, grab a tix at sistic. :)

Thank You.

I have been contemplating buying an acoustic guitar for some time.... and actually, Johann reminded me it was 2 years back. There were many reasons why I procrastinated buying one but the main main reason was that I felt that I really don't have to own one now cos with the same amount of money I could do so much more. Be it for church or family. Besides I've already got a classical.

Just a week back, to my horror... alright erm..SHOCK. seriously, I was a little taken aback, to know that my church mates actually bought me a guitar. Of course I was pleasantly surprised! But .... *lost for words* They termed it as 'a piece of cake'. When asked Jon how much it had cost he replied with an assuring "affordable". I mean its no ordinary cake with simple icing and cream. Its like a Fina and more than that, it's from a group of people who really cared for me and wanting to really bless me with a "want" in my life.

The story goes...
Jeanie called me last Sun to tell me that they bought me a piece of cake and wanted me to pick it up. I was shopping with Jie and Jeanie considerately told me that its alright and she won't pass me the cake anymore.

Then came the second call to check when I was going home. But after much conversing, we decided that I'll give the cake a miss.

That night Cheryl told me on MSN that she kept the cake for me and I was supposed to eat it on Wedz when I meet her for din din. I was quite ready to slurp it up already til....

Wednesday.
Met Cher for dinner and then saw her with a guitar, somewhat found it weird but dismissed the feeling altogether. Went for Habbakuk seminar together in church and *Tadah* after the seminar, they presented to me my 'piece of cake' with all the sweet and lovely notes. It was a little indigestible at first... but soon, I savour every mouthful when I reached home. :)

Thank You Jeanie, Cheryl, Rachel, Johann and Jon for splurging on me. Thank you Joel in helping to get the mark/stains removed.

It was a delicious slice of cake. THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!! :)

Am I lucky or what? I call it blessed.

Last Sat, school had our Annual Staff Dinner. It was a cosy affair with about 40 teachers enjoying an Alfreco BBQ at our Parade Square. I like that idea actually .... We had a lucky draw and Soo Wei won the 7th Prize. How's that for a blessing? It was a Sharp Powerful 950W Oven Toaster!Ooooooo La la how blessed.

Green Mart

Yesterday was school's Green Mart. Sorta like some massive flea market. Rather cool idea. There were game stalls and basically all the little ones were turned into innovative entreprenuers/ scheming bosses/ mini tao gehs overnight. You won't believe it... you could see primary 2s shouting "2 for 50 cents" Haaa and probably if you go a little closer, you might just see their tonsils vibrating! Anyone felt Jurong shook yesterday?

With my Zuo3 lin2 You4 She4 (neighbours)
From L: Shaoying sits like the furthest from me but our friendship keeps us close.
What is distance? Ha
Mrs Ho is my next door neighbour.
Lee lian has the unit behind mine.

and of course the bright orange T-shirt one with a big farnie grin is Siew Chinny Chin Chin. The one who would break all the silences in the office and brings much laughter to us. In another words she is noisy. Haaaa Oops she is so going to kong my head. Beside Mrs Ho is Siew Ling the drama mama queen who works together with me in drama club! The girl beside Shaoying is Hardyanti - my faithful brekkie Kaki.

What is KuChi?

Today my kids had their learning trail. Basically they were given a booklet of worksheets and had to walk through 4 stations to get the answers. One of the station was at my school's Fruit Orchard.
The kids had to unscramble a few words (fruits) as they walked through the orchard and onen of the question was as follows:

1. kcihu _________________________

And of course without the teacher's help, some children tend to be smart alecks.
I observed the following:

Steven: Eh what is this word? Don't have this fruit what! We ask Miss Sim?
Kaiser: Aiyah I KNOW! ITs KUCHI! (he exclaimed with such confidence..)
Steven: What is Kuchi?
Kaiser: Neh.. the brown colour one.

I nearly died! Kaiser got the colour right but its not Kuchi. Its ChiKU haaaaaaaaa.

祷告

祷告因为我渺小
祷告因为我知道我需要
明瞭你心意对我重要
祷告已假装不了
祷告因为你的爱我需要
你关怀 我走过的你都明白

有些事我只想要对你说
因你比任何人都爱我
痛苦从眼中流下
我知道你为我擦

在早晨我也要来对你说
主耶稣今天我为你活
需要的力量你天天赐给我
你恩典够我用

@ Melbourne with Grandma

I thought mum had thrown these away cos I tried searching for them a couple of weeks back but could not find them. Thank God I managed to find them today...
Decided to scan them all in before I might possibly lose them again.

Grandma and I went to Melbourne in 2001.

This was taken at the National Park opposite our hotel.

Grandma told me they don't bite. I think I was rather brave.
At the Great Ocean Road.

Remembered that Grandma's hand was still so warm whereas mine was like one frozen Popsicle.

Guess where did Grand sit? Right in front! How adventurous right?

I pray we could go on another trip together. How about a stroll downstairs or just enjoy some macadamia nuts together?
