Well well.... the Legion christmas gathering is over..... i'd expected more people to turn up..... coz many many faces were missing...but it was kinda expected coz most of the older ones had work/family commitments. My overall comments? It was a party planned by the young, for the young..... haha... it was more suited to their needs and taste, and for that, I think it was a relatively good job done.... I guess more organization could have been put into the planning, especially when it came to the organizing of the food, as in making sure that there was sufficient amount and variety...but otherwise, the programs were different and rather interesting. Decor was good too, but more consideration could be put into the cost in future! =) For things like that, much as Curia would subsidise, I guess it'd be good to keep us in the loop of what needs to be bought, and what the overall idea of the program is..... but otherwise, I do think it is a job rather well done....... =)Hmmm...super tired right now...coz the last few days I've been working myself to the max.... with the cookie baking and all...... spent almost 3 full days working on them..so those who got them.... it's a lot of love that went into the cookies! 1 day to bake them, 1 day to decorate and pack them, and another to add the finishing touches............. then darling and me went out the whole of yesterday to complete our christmas shopping, and wrapping till about 3am this morning.... didn't help that due to darling's need to reach work by 8am, we went for the 6.45am service this morning..... then came the making of the tarts for today's party.... lucky i managed to catch a 2 hour nap in between, or i'd be super tired right now....Sermon today was very interesting. I never thought about it until it was mentioned today. Have you realised that Christmas is probably the only festival in which its songs exist in various languages? You can hear christmas songs in so many languages, all the same tune with similar meaning, only in a different language. This proves how widespread the love of God is, and how meaningful Jesus' birth is. No matter the religion of a person, somehow, they would be affected by the Christmas bug and spirit, be it Christmas parties, decoration of their house/office, or even the mere exchange of gifts during this season. Every Christmas season, walking into a well-decorated shopping mall would somehow fill you with a warm fuzzy feeling.... the anticipation of the day itself....... What makes it more special to us believers is the faith and knowledge of Jesus' arrival into this world to save us. We may decorate our homes with Christmas trees, but how many of us truly have a Nativity set at home that awaits Jesus' birth into the world? That is the true significance of Christmas, and one I think we ought to keep in mind.... =)Tomorrow's gonna be another super busy day....... coz tomorrow's our wedding anniversary!! =D Will be going to see doctor in the morning to check on baby...... then going for our anniversary lunch.....do some shopping thereafter......then to send my parents off to Jerusalem in the night, before heading to Darling's parents' place for Tang Yuan.....The week ahead is gonna be very much eventful..... especially since the entire festive season seems to be so close to each other. With that, I'll end my post with the announcement to fellow Legionaries about the upcoming BBQ gathering.... Food will be entirely prepared by me...so see u there!================================================================Hi all,
