My sister steps onto new territory on the 23rd of december, when she reports to her new secondary school. No surprises there, she's most likely going to mgs, where most of her friends are going(:

So exciting! I remember my first day at mgs, meeting new people and new friends(: from various schools, as the mg primary girls mostly were in other classes(:

Anw I must really be getting old, I keep reminising about the past instead of looking towards the future.

Church was pretty christmassy today, singing Christmas songs, having the infant baptism, where little babies get water on their heads and they respond by turning their heads and crying or burying their heads in the parents' chest. The sermon was pretty interesting despite being on the same topic that i've heard for the past 21 years of my life- it was about the birth of Jesus christ and what it means.

Jesus christ came down to earth in a manger, lying as a baby in a barn filled with all the animal smells. The horses and the pigs and the ducks and the goats. Oh the lack of hygiene! I'm amazed that Mary didn't die of some horrible post-partum infection (well she could have given birth in the inn and then went to the barn with Jesus but still..).

With regards to the meaning of jesus' birth, I loved how the pastor phrased it, God came down for:
1. Salvation - from the sins of life
2. Strength - for us to endure the demands of life
3. Peace - to bring us peace admist the adversities of life
4. Hope - for the future of our lives

Yup. Rather amazing evangelical message that did more for me compared to other years(:

Had teochew porridge buffet at hotel winsor for lunch. Good and cheap. But porridge isn't really my thing, old people food hahaha.
