A Meaningful Christmas

Had a fantabulous Christmas day. It began with greeting and catching up on pals from church.

These two clowns (Eric n Elvis my stage hubby) didn't get me anything, not even when I hinted that I wanted Pierce Brosnan right on my doorstep.

But they compensated by giving me their most sizzling attention.

Esther here is estatic that my 'The Apprentice' article that was published in our church newsletter had her name mentioned 3 times in it. Heh.

With MF for whom we got this for... :-P :P


After the meet and greet session, my gal pals and I headed for SIB KL to meet Fooman and watch the much acclaimed musical play - Storm in a Tea Cup. It was well done. A tightly paced story, great acting and singing, wonderful originally composed songs and lyrics, great video shots and editing - overall, very professionally done. Bravo, SIB KL! The story line was based on the aftermath of last year's tsunami tragedy. I found some points of the story to be very moving and the message also had me tearing up a little.

I have been doing some reflection on the year gone by. And realised that even though I had tried to be brave and positive about some disapointments in life because I know that God is ultimately in control and wants the best for me, I still had some resentment in my heart about the way some things turned out to be. Pr Chew's message was a timely one. He shared openly about the immense loss faced by his friend and by his ownself. How difficult it was for them to believe that God actually cared for them, and to not pile up guilt and if onlys upon themselves. But the fact remains - that God does love and care for us. And nothing can separate us from His enduring love for us. We need to let go of our disappointments and let God. And move on.

After the show ended, we headed to BSC to grab some grub to eat. It was wonderful to catch up with Fooman and get some more pics taken. Overall, it was a fantastic and meaningful Christmas. Hope yours was great, too.
