Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

This year, I feel Christmas is special as we managed to celebrate it as a family, going to church service, munching together and enjoying the sceneries together. It's simple yet heart warming. We went to the morning service and it was candle light service. The whole seating arena was fully filled with people. Thank God we managed to have seats for ourselves. Family picture of us. The children prefer to sit at the aisle. The church members starting to spread the candle light from the stage area and passed it on to every people in the church! Finally we got the candle lighted too! Jesus shines light upon our lives! Josh made sure that our candle lights was always lit. Eve and Kate Our three babies Couple pic. Nice?

Last Sunday, our church had the candlelight service and it's a time we reflect and also to know the importance of Christmas ( the birth of Jesus Christ ). Honestly, I'm really very touched to see so many people in service and Eve also invited her cousin along. Really appreciate the effort she had made to go down to service early, and managed to get seats too. My children sat through the service and I'm really thankful for it. Kate held on to a new candle, awaiting for the candlelight to be lit. We were also fortunate to find seats in this fully filled service!

Josh kept asking,"Where is my flame?" Finally! Their candles are lit! This is also the first time I allow both of them to take a light candle stick by their own. Our chur...

Yesterday, I had my church group Thanksgiving session at my place!! Eve and I prepared so much stuff and I'm so glad that we managed to hold over 15 people at our place. We prepared superb honey baked chicken wings and delicious cream of mushroom soup! And many of them loved it. It's a potluck event, hence other members also chipped in, bringing food like fried wonton, wraps with ham, steam buns, chicken pie, wine and drinks! We had so much fun talking and thanking God about 2012 events. Not only that, our house has a Christmas tree for the first time and we managed to place the 16 gifts on and under the tree! And the gift exchange was fun coz I managed to get a very practical gift: a portable iPhone charger! Woohoo! Picture of me giving my friend, Jennifer 3 Maggi sauce in a Gucci bag. How privileged! Happy group photo! My christmas tree nice? Dining at our living room Gift exchange Honestly, I feel that gift exchange is quite an exciting event ...
