Christmas! The best time of the year. The only sad thing is that after that you realize the year is coming to an end.

Candle light service at BCCM KK. Never missed one since I last remember. :)

Praise Kids as always - puppets! :)

Frances, Max and Calvin having a great time singing Feliz Navidad! =)

Caleb enjoys taking pictures with pretty girls. ;)

Samuel and Paul. My sister is all grown up! :)

3 Lee families. It's nice to worship at the same place with your family.

Nothing much on Christmas Day aside from having to wake up early to accompany Cathy and Teresa.

It has been an awesome holiday. Just feel like posting some photos here. :)

Got involved with our church's production: Pins & Needles, for the first time. Nice experience. Got to know a few more people from church.

Amazing duet by Natalie and Colleen. Song written by Ryo. :)

The guys and girls of our 'mini orchestra'. :)

Flew straight home after that. Here's a huge chicken that mom prepared.

Awesome beef and fish noodles at my uncle's stall.

A night of board game with Vincent and Lisa. Ticket to Ride. :)

Emmanuel! Gave him a surprise at Old Town. He shaved his moustache for this occasion. By the way, Old Town prices in Kota Kinabalu are way higher than the ones in Kuala Lumpur.

Christmas post is coming up.

Got this in my inbox. Thought it was quite nice. :)

Rumors say some 35,000 parents voted it as the best poster! ;)

At school. Waiting for my student. Has the fond habit of being late. :(

State of the Arts KL is just a few days away. I'm really excited to go for the talks by Harith Iskandar and Paul Moss.

There goes my public holiday though. But it's all good. :)

About Cats & Dogs

What is a cat?

- Cats do what they want.
- They rarely listen to you.
- They are totally unpredictable.
- When you want to play, they want to be alone.
- When you want to be alone, they want to play.
- They expect you to cater to their every whim.
- They are moody.
- They leave hair everywhere.‎- They drive you nuts and cost an arm and a leg.

Conclusion: They are tiny women in fur coats.

What is a dog?

- Dogs lie around all day, sprawled on the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house.
- They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but they don't hear you when you are in the same room.
- They growl when they are not happy.
- When you want to play, they want to play.
- When you want to be alone, they want to play.
- They are great at begging.
- They will love you forever if you rub their tummies.
- They leave their toys everywhere.
- They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to give you a kiss.

Conclusion: They are little men in fur coats

I'm at school on a Sunday morning. Shouldn't be here. Silvia's student doing last minute preparations for Tuesday's exam. Figured I've got some time to blog. And have Mcdonald's

Big Breakfast after so long. It's not as good as it used to be. :(

Come to think of it. Nothing much happened recently. Highlight of past few days would be attending to very contrasting concerts. Though both Christian at the very core. But how it was organized was distinctly different.

Jaeson Ma's Music Evangelism, that's what they call it, was held on the 18th and 19th. Had cell group on the 19th so opted to go on the 18th. To my 'horror', there was a ticket charge of RM20. Made a 'big' fuss over it on their Facebook page. I even had an honorary mention during the pastor's offering challenge. Clarify again, nothing against Jaeson Ma, but from a musician's point of view, RM20 for some guy 'rapping' 3 songs, you've got to think twice. To be honest, from a Christian's view, it might be worth it, but again, who are we selling the tickets to?

Now there was another concert happening on the other side of town. Aubrey Suwito got together the top musicians in Malaysia to hold a Christmas concert on the 19th and 20th. I heard it was for charity and they want to record it live so they can sell DVD's during Christmas. Even if you're not a musician you're bound to know who's Jaclyn Victor. Well, if you didn't, you'd still enjoy the concert. The who's who in the music scene was all there. And those we celebrity artist because they're that good, not because they look good. :) I arrived late due to work, reached there around 9.15pm. 15 minutes late. To my surprise, there was no parking left. The closest spot was more than 5 minutes walk away! The hall was full. We sat at the foyer. The music still sounded so good from the television's speakers. Did I mention it was free? And did I mention they actually played more than 10 songs? All rearranged. Very good stuff. Should get a hold of that DVD when it comes out.

Oh, and did I mention that I was late to PGRM on Wednesday night. Also because of work. From Bangsar to Cheras takes time during rush hour. It was pasar malam night too. The longest in town. Ok. Show was supposed to start at 8pm. I heard that they started late. We arrived 8.45pm. Sat at the back. Behind us was one-third of the seat. Empty.

Maybe we're Malaysians. Maybe we're Chinese. But there's a reason why free stuff still has the appeal. Unless you're good. And rappin' ain't our culture yet.

Oh, my dad seldom forwards mail. So when he does, you'll bet it's important. Title of it. Soursop: Cancer Busting Properties 10,000 Times Stronger Than Chemo!

Off to church soon! Excited! We got Eitan a bike. :)

Figured I've got time to kill while waiting for Silvia to finish her lessons.

Went bowling with Robin and Wen Sen. Last I recall bowling was in secondary school. My personal high just now was 90. Had 2 strikes. Hehe. Cosmic Bowl has this 3 games/RM10. Pretty good deal. Right arm and left thigh sore now.

Attributes is having a store-wide 20% discount. If I sang 'Negaraku' a futher 5%! Bought most of Max Lucado's books. Currently rereading one that I got in 2004. :)

Took this from Keith's status: Just done reading a book by Craig Groeschel. good read! I'm inspired by @sidmohede he reads 1 book a week! A leader is a reader.

Tonight we'll be going to Jaeson Ma's Only Love Music Rally. It's going to be good. Been hearing lots of good things about him. :)

And last but not least. Dad, happy birthday! :)
