A Special Christmas

Just had a christmas celebration at Cheshire home, also marking the final event to my comserv project for this year :) what a relief!!! Finally can take a short break.

It is really a special christmas this yr for me :P First was having shared the christmas joys with the residents of the home. Something meaningful to the spirit of caring and sharing during christmas. And also, this yr will be spending christmas with someone special as well :) So its like double happiness for me this season.

Today was rather enjoyable. Both residents and volunteers have enjoyed themselves. Hmmm, we started with the warming up game of passing the parcel. Some of the residents are really enthusiastic, having alot of fun in the process and laughing alot. They are visibly excited with the games, and are very enthusiastic about doing the forfiets as well. WOW!!! they are really sporting! very wonderfully surprising. Seeing their happy faces made me feel so warm and happy inside. Its the level of satisfaction and meaningful fullfillment that i had not felt for quite sometime. Despite their disabilities, these people are so satisfied with what they have, and are so happy and cheerful. Some of their laughter exhibits the innocent joy, only found in a child. Sometimes, they made be feel so shameful, of how sometimes i can be taking things for granted, how sometimes i can be so selfish and materialistic. They have taught me how to share, how to laugh, how to experience joy. There are many non-tangible things to enjoy around the world. Maybe sometimes, we are often so busy that we have lost touch with the more humane side of us.

Well...... just some thoughts. I must tell myself to embrace the world and not be so sceptical in future, questioning every though, action and motive.

Hmmm..... this yr will be spending christmas with sormui. Well, last yr also spent christmas with her, but we were not together yet then. Still remembered it as if it was only yesterday. Went to watch a movie.... the scary movie 3 ( waah... a funny but boliao show ) hahah kinda regreted watching it coz it was quite crude. Then later, in the evening we went to sentosa to watch the musical fountains. It was the first time i ever watched the musical fountains. LOL.... suar koo lah.... Then remembered i gave her this christmas gift which we called the year end bonus. Heh .... it is a box with windows to put the photos at each surface. Basically i jus use photoshop to obtain her personal potraits from all the group photos that was taken ah ....haha ... pro man... :P
Then in the box put a bear, with lotsa chocolates. Behind each photo i hid little notes and messages.... haha. I like to customise my gifts, more personal, unique and it wun be the same if u buy it !!!! Muahahahaha!!!!! I was thinking to myself, if she likes it, she will look closer and discover the notes. If not, it shall not be discovered. hahaha .... but it the end it was discovered much to my delight.
