It's my first time spending Christmas and New Year away from family, friends and all the familiarities. I view it as an experience, challenge, training and a process of growing up.
On Christmas eve, Isaac cooked and we invited a few church friends to have dinner with us. It was fun and enjoyable. Especially the food(DELICIOUSloh!!) and the company of friends. On Christmas day, I went to the pastors' house for a Christmas meal and fellowship. Really thank them for all the nice food and the invitation. At least I got to celebrate Christmas with people. And not forgetting all those presents I received! Never thought I would receive so many of them. On boxing day, I went to a family friend's house, it was good! All the chinese food that has been prepared was just awesome!
After that, I went for a Christian Conference. It was over the new year. Spending the new year with Malaysians was great! This conference was truly enriching and the fellowship with fellow Malaysian was wonderful! Haven't seen so many Malaysians for a long long time. Being able to speak in the Malaysian way of speaking was just great!! God has also revealed things to me in this conference and I really thank Him for that. First time taking train to Reading and meeting Esther there was indeed a great experience too! =)
All in all, I have to be honest that it was not as good as being back home spending these moments with friends and family. But, it's a good opportunity to learn.
Besides that, it was the first time ever that I want holidays to end quickly so that I can start lectures soon. Thank God for short holidays!!! =) Haha!!
