ohh long time no blog.
So much has happened over the past few dayz n i've been so touched by the Holy Spirit :) firstly n most importantly, there wuz the christmas eve carolling!
Some of the yf ppl formed a choir n we carolled around the estates near church. It was a new n wonderful experience for me, especially when i realised ppl actually bothered to stop n listen. Perhaps it's coz it's not everyday they meet ppl carolling, but then again, it made me realise it's juz possible that our singing that night MIGHT have triggered some feelings inside someone, n that might juz be enough to change his or her life.
Sometimes we juz need a sign from God or a tiny nudge from the Holy Spirit, then we'll find ourselves going in His direction. It could be possible that our carolling had caused someone to think abt Him.
With that in mind, i really sang with my heart n hoped that the choir's voice will reach into the hearts of the listeners. Some kidz were really warm n supportive, n we even took pics with them. They don't all speak english, yet they kept yelling, "Good, Good! Very good!" after we finished carolling.
It's amazing how they can still appreciate our songs of praise, even though we speak different languages n when i heard them cheering, it wuz as if it were a sign from God, that he too was happy with what we were doin.
Through the carolling, i got to know some members of yf better, n im grateful for the chance. After UB4, i've been hoping for another chance as such, n the night after carolling wuz awesome.
The girlz chatted waay past their bedtimes n we had supper (macdonald) at a very late hour.
I talked to someone for a long time n though i had to give up some precious sleep, i wuz thankful for the chance, becoz i learnt a lot from the conversation, regarding her life as well as those of other yfers.
Seems to me now that everyone leads 2 lives, some even more, n we all have many sides, basically sad n happy. It makes me feel better becoz sometimes i feel that i behave differently with different ppl. And now i know it's normal.
Christmas 2day has been fabulous.
Joyce was juz absolutely fascinated with her presents n convinced that all her wishes had come true :)
Though Jamie n I knew what presents we were getting, becoz we bought it for each other, we still had fun pretending to be surprised in front of Joyce. It was especially satisfying for us when we sneaked out the surprise prezzies for daddy n mummy.
A vibrating body massager for daddy (in the shape of a doggy), a bible book holder n snow globe for mummy ^ ^
Ohh jamie bought an archie comic for me as a surprise! Haha, THANKS JAMIE!!
Yulan:
Frankly, im quite certain what kind of person i want to become, but im not sure if i can do it. becoz the person i want to become when i grow up, is a rather complicated person. She is someone who does not envy nor feel jealous, never petty nor unkind, alwayz happy n friendly to everyone, brings hope or at least inpsires the ppl around her.
This person sounds almost perfect, which im sure is what everyone hopes to become. But there's no such thing as perfection, we all know.
I don't know how far i'm away from my goal, but im sure God can change us, and i juz pray (wheneva i think abt this) that He will change me into someone he wants me to be.
To me, the most important thing is (after family) my social life.
I cannot bear the thought of losing friends, or having ppl hate or dislike me. I know i cannot satisfy everyone, but as long as i have no problem at least communicating with everyone n workin with ppl, im happy.
