Christmas carolling was great last night. I was allocated in the 1st group with Mei Fen, Mei Hui, Chang En, Mathew's sis, Pastor Daniel's whole family etc. Sorry, can't remember the rest's names..grown-ups mostly. Ohh, there's this little girl as well..i'm hating myself for asking and forgetting her name. Chinese names are just hard to memorize. Agree?

1st house we visited was quite cheery - there were at least 4 kids there. So cute. They actually ran and hid in the bedroom when we entered the house after singing Silent Night whilst holding candles. The mother went shooing them into the living room.

Then we carried on singing Angels We Have Heard On High, Joy to the World, A Gift and We Wish You A Merry Christmas. I shared my lyrics with the grandmother who keep saying she's illegible 'cause she never received education. Reminded me of how fortunate we are. Done with the carolling, it's teatime! Homemade cakes, jellies, sandwiches, longan and more. I took everything offered, well, I would be sad if my homemade food are barely touched by my guests. Good excuse for being greedy? I think this chocolate candy the mother gave me is still lying in my handphone satchet. Heh.

2nd house was the little girl's house. Her mother was asking me which primary school's better(Little girl is 5 years old), whether SJK(C) Chung Hua - my alma mater - gave pupils tons of homework. I replied," Really, really a lot." It's true. But probably all primary schools are more or less the same now, which I told her.

All 4 groups gathered at a sister's house after the christmas carolling. Met up with everyone once again..naturally, it was chit-chat nonstop. Then it was the session normal people fears - when the mic is passed around and you have to share your thoughts. Whatever, it is common in church activities, if you noticed. =) I blabbed about being grateful that I can join, that we should remember the true meaning of Christmas. Some people just pass the mic without saying, yeah, this someone even said," Due to insufficient time, I'll just pass on the mic."

And it's another dinner. I really didn't meant to eat, seriously, but an aunty pushed into my hands a plateful of beehoon, chicken, potato, nuggets. I eat when there's food in front of me, so, you understand. The crowd dispersed following dinner...and we went back quite late. Enjoyed the night overall. Looking forward to next year's, but wondering whether I'll make it.
