Hey heyy, it's time for me to blog about the 1 week of holiday that I've spent with my family in Singapore alone.. :) It has been a great week for me as I really miss them so so much! hehes.. They stepped down at Changi airport on the 20th Dec, Saturday evening together with my old granny.. Uncle went to pick them up with Jonathan and me.. It was quite late by the time we reached home..
21st December 2008-Sunday
After the morning church service, Jonathan drove us to Novena Square to have our 'brunch' at old town Hong Kong restaurant..:)

Didn't visit much places that day and we just walked around at Novena Square.. Anyway, we joined the carolling at Uncle Sunny's place that evening.. Err.. to be exact.. We're just the audience..hahas.. The carols sing and we listen.. Enjoy the atmosphere..
Oh Holy night..The stars are brightly shining~ It is the night of our dear Savior's birth!

As my another cousin, Alfred was having day off , he brought us to Sentosa with his girlfriend, Xiao Hui.. We met up at Vivo for breakfast and from there, we took the monorel in Sentosa.. Say goodbye to Kenneth cuz he's leaving back to KL and he's going to Sandakan to celebrate Christmas..
We bought the package which comprised of visitation to the Fort Siloso Tours, Images of Singapore, Sentosa 4D Magix, Songs of the Sea and The Merlion..
In the tram.. It was drizzling but fortunately just for a little while..

23rd December 2008-Tuesday I brought my family to Orchard Road for a day of shopping.. In the evening, Jonathan drove us around to see the night view of Singapore downtown during the Christmas season.. We were planning to go Singapore Flyer the next day actually.. Who knows the news appeared on the TV saying that there were an electrical breakdown or things like that where people stucked inside the Flyer for 7 hours! whoa~ In a condition without aircon and toilet, they would have to do their business in the capsule..yiaks~ Then after 7 hours, the victims were blindfolded and hung down using ropes... Scary man... My mum was exclaiming saying that lucky we didn't go up there..hahas..

It's Christmas Eve!! We went to Bugis Junction for shopping with Jonathan, Jaclyn and Richard.. Met up with Timothy for lunch at Thai Cuisine..Nice!! He came over to our place and sleep over that day.. Silent night ma.. Evening of course we went to church and joined the Candle Light Service..
The sermon was on "The Journey of Hope" that night... Church members from ORPC present this sign language using ultraviolet light.. nice...

Choir from ORPC.. It was a great musical night..

Merry Christmas...eve..

Again, I shed my tears that evening.. Sending them off with crying face even though I know I'll be back soon in 3 weeks time to meet them again.. But I just couldn't control my emotion.. *sob sob*....
Well, it came to the last day of Year 2008.. Indeed many things had happened in our lives this year.. Bitter Sweet Sour?? Cherish and Treasure it if it's sweet.. And how about bitter?? Just keep it as a memory and learn from it.. A brand new year must start with a brand new you.. Though it might be hard for certain people, just try your very best and most importantly, have a faithful heart in God..:)
Till then, Happy New Year!!!!!!
