Jesus's Birthday

It was a celebration indeed...the birthday of Jesus...a day in which the whole world knows it as Christmas! a day of giving and receiving presents, a day filled with sales here and there...but most importantly, a day to be together with our loved ones to celebrate the coming of our saviour into this world....
Christmas is just the best time of the year....an occasion which i always look forward to every year..more for the presents, frankly...hahaha..but that was years ago....however, as i grew up i began to realize that its not just merely the presents i was looking forward to, its more of the togetherness that i really really anticipate...to be together with our loved ones; our families..

As what i have blogged a few days ago, how i dreaded the whole thing for the first time this year....i guess it actually turned out to be something good for me..because of those feelings that i had a few weeks earlier, i tend to cherish and treasure this year's Christmas even more...when the days drew closer and closer to Christmas, i felt myself beginning to feel the excitement once again, the anticipation towards the whole celebration, the wonderful feeling to see my family members once again...to share the joy and spirit of Christmas with one another....

when the real day actually came, everything just seem to take its place in perfect order..everything went smoothly and i felt a deep sense of joy and happiness with a pinch of relief and peacefulness in my heart...its not the gifts or the christmas tree surrounded with so many presents, but its just the presence of your love ones, to see them once again, to share in this joyful and meaningful occasion of our faith...to celebrate the birth of our Saviour...and that is just the best gift anyone could receive.....



The tree surrounded with so many presents

Well, Christmas, to me is a time to be with our loved ones; our friends and families. so here is what i have been doing this year for Christmas ..........

Hahaha.....at the end of it all...posing sikit with the tree at home

wow....sekelip mata and the day ended so fast...talking with my friends showed me the various ways people celebrated Christmas this year...some went Christmas carollings, but the most noble thing they did was to visit the children in the paediatric ward in the hospital on early Christmas morning, to sing carols and hand out gifts to the children there....it was just so nice to hear that, the oportunity to share the gift from God with the children, bring joy and happiness to them, to relief them of their pain and sickness that they are suffering from...what a great way to celebrate Christmas...God bless you all....
i was glad to hear that my friends did that during Christmas, which i was a bit sad for not being able to join them as well, however, i am so so grateful to God for the opportunity to spend it with my families, its not what we do together but its the presence of each and everyone of them that make my Christmas a meaningful one this year. In them, i can feel Him, which i feel is the utmost important thing as we celebrate His birth. Happy Birthday Jesus. We love you =)

unworthy

It's been three months since my last post.... so fast time flies..... Well, i wouldn't want to speak about what happened over the past three months.. but rather speak something very randomly that is bonggling the mind.. How often do we do our best in whatever tasks that is given, but the credit still goes to someone else? as much as we choose to ignore it, the dust is never easy to be bitten... the effort and time to help, and yet, those who were suppose to do it, choose to ignore it, while i become the scape goat for all the nonsense that wasn't even mine in the first place. it is really unfairness to its maxmum. and as much as it is against my life principle to be brought down so easily, but i just could not do much, knowing that i am legally bound to what is being contracted to me.. haizzz..life and all its obstacles... as much as i hope to persevere through all these, as much as i hope to leave as well... So much that i have gone through the past 9 years, and ne...

Not easy

Mixed feelings ...that's how i have been feeling lately..things came and go...causing perturbation to the mind...confusion, distraction, unsure of what to do...or even worse, dont know how to feel; dont know how to even portray the right emotions..(hahaha this brings back memories of what i learnt in my personality class....) things have been happening around me, thankfully, not directly to me lah...but somehow, indirectly, it affected me to a certain extend as well Some of my friends were in trouble lately, big trouble i shall say...i feel so bad for them, but somehow i just can't help much, because there is nothing much that i can help to solve it....all i can do is just to lend my ear to them, to be a platform for them to let things out of their shell...because speaking from experience, it is certainly very hard to just keep everything to oneself...slowly it will cause the body and mind to rot...hehe...too exaggerating pulak...hahahahaha .. anyhow, it was a lesson not just f...

Falling soldier

i saw this on the facebook page the other day and it hit me straight away... is this the explaination for all that has happened and is to happen? i'm doubting am i a strong soldier in the first place to be given such battles.... and then again, as i reflect back on the hard and tough few weeks before, and then with the annoucement from the Holy Father of his resignation, i wonder how hard it would have been for the Pope the past few weeks for him to come to that decision to resign... it would be so much more anguish and anxiety which i might have just had a little of it in comparison to how it must have been for him... it would been such a difficult time for him to discern his real calling and to come to a decision knowing that it will have various consequences..i personally think that he is indeed a man of courage to come out with such a heavy decision but surely with God's guidance along the way. he is indeed a man of faith and place his whole trust in God when he decide...
