Phew! so the 2 nights were Great! it was a blast and a lot of ppl came to watch. the casts were good, backdrop, props, lights & sound, dancers & musicians - terrific! Even tho, the preparation in the beginning was crazy backstage, everyone waiting to be painted and dressed, kids running here and there, teens doing their crazy n LOUD stuffs, aunties chatting and busying away… hehehe!

all in all, it was worth the work, the effort and the time put in.

just then i was recalling something that i’ve put so much attention and effort into - but in the end, i got so disappointed and depressed over it; something so not worth at all!

when i was in F6 in sxi, i joined the Boards, and i was in d Traffics. there are 5 departments; classrooms, prefects, librarians, breaks and traffics. worked hard for it, i actually had to wake up at 5.30am every morning, walked like 2KM to get to the busstop to catch the FIRST morning bus at 6.15am. Maaan, it was a cold, dark and scary journey. cold breeze, dogs howling, shadows shifting…*shivers* and sometimes even through the rain i’d walk. i’m starting to wonder now, why in the world did i put so much commitment in it and get NOTHING out of it. seriously, NOTHING! like so what if i get best duty on that day or watever crap lah… it was so heartbreaking, can’t even be compared to the times when i joined RC during my secondary days, that at least i was learning something.

well, nvm… the past is the past. we learn from mistakes. but what i’m trying to get at is that, i’d much rather be committed and put all my effort [cry n sweat :-)] for the things that have ‘eternal value’. i’d much rather choose to work for a Being who loves me not because for the things i do for Him or for who i am, for the One who created and who holds the world in His hands, who is Greater and Bigger than anything in the world, someone whom i love.

and He’s worth EVERYTHING!!

Christmassy

anyone feeling the christmassy mood yet? hmm… don’t know why but i kinda don’t feel anything… guess i must be growing up FINALLY? ehhehe…

then, christmas was about presents, and every year i’d go over to me mum’s side of d family to celebrate, more like eat and collect presents … eeee. but it’s been so long since i’ve been back to their house for christmas i can’t even remember what i last got from them! every time i visit, my cousins are like 2 inches taller, more pimples on their face (teenager mah) and they’re talking to me about marriage! ish*

well, this year my church’s doing a christmas PLAY..aaaaanother one for me, yeah! at least i’m not the producer (phew!) but still lotsa work and time. it came out in the papers last thursday, ‘A week before Christmas’. started work since Sept and we’re all praying that everything goes as planned this weekend.

So for those of you celebrating, MERRY CHRISTMAS to you… and hope you get all the gifts you wish for, enjoy the time with your family and friends -> these times get harder to come by esp when we start working and esp when we’re away from HOME.

and as for NEW YEAR… aaahh… i wish i could go back to that beach behind Crown Prince hotel, where we had bbq sand chicken wings, wine, beer, great company, guitar, laugther and relaxed fun! -not that we get pissed drunk or anything like that- but more cos of the company and i suppose the moonlight must have something to do with it. :-)

let’s remember this Christmas that it’s not about the presents, not about the christmas tree, esp not santa, but it’s Christmas because Jesus was born n it’s His birthday we’re actually celebrating!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!! *hugs*
