光 阴 似 箭

Primary School Classmates Gathering

Ever since graduating from primary school, I rarely keep in touch with my primary school classmates. Probably it was because none of them went to the same secondary school as me. For the last 6 years, I had never attended any of the gatherings which I really regretted. Finally I have got the chance. I attended the gathering tonight at Delicious Chicken Rice Shop which belongs to the ex assistant monitor, Ing Kerh. I was the first person to arrive the venue(Yes, I'm a very punctual person. Applause, please!=D) I was nervous when I arrived because there was no familiar faces. That was when my mind went wild, thinking that I might have been fooled. Thank God I wasn't fooled, I just arrived early. After a while, Fang Qi(or Guo Qi) came. She's really different from before. Later more arrived. I was really suprised that many of them changed tremendously. The girls looked very ladylike and the boys taller and their voice were no longer the shrieking tones. The fellowship was great with Lip Loong talking a lot of nonsense. We chatted about the times we had in primary school and who's double or single. One thing I found out from the fellowship; most of the boys are really cheeky as they talked a lot about things related to porn. It was indeed a great evening. I really regretted for not joining the previous gatherings. I really thank God that He has blessed me with a bunch of hillarious classmates during my days in primary school. Without them, my days in the primary school would not be as colourful it was. From the bottom of my heart, I really wish them all the best in their future and I hope that I will be able to attend all the gatherings in the years to come.
Time flies and we all changed but the moments we cherished together will have a special place in our hearts.

The Gift

For them there were no presents
Around the Christmas tree
No flashing lights unless you count
The lamp across the street
A fire in a barrel
No chimney and no roof
To most of them Santa Claus
Was the man who made the soup
In an alley was a mother
Two children by her side
Trying hard to keep the spark
Of true Christmas alive
She said we may not have some things
That other people do
But Christmas is for everyone
And were Gods children too
Oh and Jesus loves you
And so do I
Think about the baby
And the star up in the sky
I don't think Santa's comin
Cause he don't know where we live
But who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift
Well early Christmas morning
While they were still asleep
I packed a box of food and clothes
And walked back to their street
Imagine my surprise
When I saw presents all around
Blankets, toys and winter coats
Beside them on the ground
And the card I read from Santa said
Inside the three of you
The real heart of Christmas
Is still beating strong and true
Oh and Jesus loves you
And so do I
Think about the baby
And the star up in the sky
Santa Claus is comin
Cause he know where real faith lives
But who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift
Who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift
Who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift

Christmas Parade

On the 22nd December, Kuching, for the very first time, had a Christmas parade in the city. It was organised but the Methodist churches but churches from other denomination joined too. About 3000 Christian soldiers marched along the roads in Kuching, singing Christmas carols, giving out balloons and wishing the pedestrians and drivers Merry Christmas. There were beautiful floats decorated by the Methodist churches to enlighten the atmosphere. It was indeed an awesome evening. I enjoyed the parade. Thank God that it wasn't raining that night. I hope that the people in Kuching were blessed by the parade. Merry Christmas everybody!!!!
Oh yeah, Trinity Methodist Church came in second for the float. Not bad! Haha.. Congratulations!!!!
