Merry christmas!
… may this time be a blessing to all of us who hope in Christ and in his second coming.
Yeah, I am not the kind who is into christmas celebration. To me, christmas is simple, it is just a reminder that one day He will come again, not as a baby, but gloriously and it will be the time that every knee shall bow and every tounge will confess that He is the LORD.
I don’t like the fact that christmas is sooooooooooo commercialised, with gifts, givings (which I think a great waste, but good for the economy), ligthing and many other things that I could not understand. Perhaps that is why I rarely give presents and errr not even cards. Ah, that is because I am thrifty, hahahha and do not want to spend money. I don’t like to give something when it is not needed. I don’t understand why I need to give my friends presents since they already have everything they need. I mean, so many other people are hungry, why giving those fully-fed? I would rather think and act on things that are essentials. Remember those who needs not only presents, but love.
. errr not as if I don’t need one though, I definitely need a lot of love. Hahhaha…
Ok, I just wanna update some things before I am watching Japanese drama galileo. Yesterday, singapore bos came over to visit us and to find out how we are coping here. It was ok, it was great meeting him and have a little chitchat.
Thereafter, friends and I were preparing some tang yen, errr I hope I spell it correctly which I don’t think so.
Anyway, it was ok. I could not understand most of their conversation which was in chinese. I was tired to request them what they were talking about. I don’t know. ANyway, it is no longer a big deal. This is life, face it! It is just a reminder for me to be more thoughtful next time when I am in the majority, to remember minority. Yeah, this is what life’s lessons are for. To make us a better person and to learn from every events that occurred.
So, as of today, I went to church in the morning. Gosh, I don’t like myself for being late most of the time. It is so hard to be on time despite the late service time. Yeah, it was bad to come late, errrr late is very late. I really have to discipline myself next time and set the alarm 2 hr earlier!!! After the service, I approached one lady, I have been telling her I would like to join a cell group. yeah, i am bored since I don’t know anybody there. It is difficult to have fellowships like this. Anyway, she has yet informed her leader about it. Errr.., I wished I can scold her, but I decided to be patient, telling her no problem.
Today, I did plan to do some shopping at shibuya before the christmas party in the evening. However, I have not been feeling well, I may get flu if I don’t have sufficient rest. Thus, I went back and sleep throughout afternoon.
In the evening, I went to tokyo baptist church for single christmas party. I think it was great. I went back happy. I met new great friends there, they came from various countries and I really found them outstanding. Yeah. I have a great time, a great chitchat and exchanged of contacts. This is life. Life is meaningful with relationships. I guess this is perhaps many of us have overlooked. Many things in the world is not that difficult. Happiness is very often found not in the big mansions, but in the manger. It is never about greatness, simplicity would do. yeah. Great, I learnt new things again today.
