The Preparation for "C" Party & Celebration for "Journey" Event Today

It’s the season again to celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of our Heavenly Father. It’s parties and after that parties again since our pre-Christmas event (entitled the Journey) on the 8th of December at the Amici Bar n Restaurant, which I will be updating in this blog once I got all the photos required for a wonderful display of the ambience and memories for that night.

Today (20th December), being a holiday was meant to be a rest day. Yet, it turns up to be a busy day out as well.

First in the morning was the baking of Gingerbread Men at a sister-in-Christ, Siewmin’s home. These fearfully and wonderfully made Gingerbread Men aka cookies will be displayed in beautifully made wrappers as door-gifts for the up-coming “C” Party on 24 December 2007 at the sister’s place as well. It was my maiden trial and attempt making or baking cookies I supposed and first time I saw such a big built-in oven in a kitchen fixture. Excited and looking forward for the day to come.

Next in the afternoon was some walking around aka window-shopping with a brother-in-Christ, Ben (who joined earlier as well for the birth of these Gingerbread Men) at Vivo City for the items or outfits needed for the “C” Party. We need to be dressed in something that begins with “C” as the party name implies. Already had the idea on what to be on my heels to head since last week. Went to Vivo City last Tuesday (18 December 2007) with my best friend, Raymond to watch the movie “Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium” and saw the “head” item which I need at Daiso. However, there was a very long queue that day and turned up not getting it that day. I knew that I could actually rent the outfits with the “head” item at the Wearhouse of People Association which I saw on the same morning on 18 December 2007. This will cost me around $30.00 over. Hence, I think it may be more economical to buy the “head” item which cost me only $2.00 with the fact that I already have most items that will bring that Wild Wild West character alive in me on 24 December 2007. And thankfully, Mister Ben brought a camera today for that shot. What a nice picture that he took that I think it will be a pity if I didn’t show it here.

The third event of the day was just another party (I guess you can called it a party as there were enough people to make a party and most importantly there were FOOD!). It was supposedly a celebration for “Journey”, the pre-Christmas event (慶功宴). There was present from Jasmine as well and an affirmation card and event souvenir from Stefanie who coordinated the “Journey” event so well. Talking about affirmation, I think I should affirm Stefanie as well for her faithfulness and efforts made these past two years for our Unit Christmas mega-event which turned up to be successful despite many hiccups. Not forgetting Jasmine also, who for the past two years shared with us about the Birthday Star (壽星公), our Lord Jesus being her constant friend and companion last year and about Jesus who always stayed by her side in her journeys of life and studies this year.

Just in case, you are wondering what or who that "Wild Wild West" character is, a clue can be found in Jay Chou's (周杰倫) latest album. Best of all, hope to see you on 24 December 2007 for the "C" Party and you will know.
