Early merry christmas everyone! :) It's a bit early but it's because I'm flying tomorrow and won't be here on the actual day, the next time I blog will probably be on the 31st of December. Just go back from school! Today was last day and I had the audition for "Le Petite Prince". I was supposed to be Fox or Rose but after I said my lines, they asked me to try Prince. I hope I get a role in the play, but I'm neutral for Prince because he's the main character and that means a lot more lines, actions, rehearsals which will lead to more time lost to practises that could be used for more important things like doing homework so I won't need to sleep late because I live further than others and I need to wake up earlier than others in the morning.

So here's what happened today...
Arrived at school and went to auditorium but it was the prize presentation first. So bored, nearly fell asleep. Then went back to classroom for form period and it turns out that our class game stall at the Mini Bazaar yesterday earned $4000-6000. Yay<--Even though I didn't do anything at all. :P Then there was a break then we had to go back to the auditorium for the End of Term and Christmas Service. The school's church choir was there as well, we sang hymns (carols, actually) and listened to bits of the Bible that depicts Jesus's birth. Then at the end, Mrs. Lau wanted us to sing "We wish you a Merry Christmas". We were kind of stunned and didn't know how to react then she actually sang into the mic quite awkwardly. Imagine, your 40-50 year old headmistress singing "We wish you a Merry Christmas" into the mic in front of the whole school that was totally silent. But we picked up her lead and it was fun! :)

Just a gentle reminder, Christmas is NOT about partying, shopping, vacations. No, it's about the birth of Jesus. He came down to Earth to purify us and teach us the way of God. He was the perfect teacher, example and Saviour. He died on the cross thinking of us, he taught us the way to live and saved us from death. On Christmas, we should thank Him, praise Him and pray to Him. :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year everyone! :)

What pressies do you want from Santa this year? ;) 

Do you decorate your home for Christmas? I used to but since I travel more now, I don't anymore. Sad, I want to. :(

Desserts are one of the many delights I look forward to! :9 Yum! 

Happy New Year, my wonderful bloggers/followers/friends/stalkers. ;)
