My London's Christmas

Christmas this year, I would like to quote what Nat says, "I feel like a pig ah!" It has been a 'terrible' period of time when everyone sure to put on some pounds after Christmas. I do enjoy alot the time spent with all my brothers n sisters at the ministry house during these few days. A house of 4 rooms, able to cram in 17 people in one night! I'm amazed :D Even more amazing, the toilet did not 'explode' because of the heavy usage!

It started with Hot Pot service at YMCA on Christmas eve. All of us are caught by surprise with the high attendance, 71 people! We only expect 30++ people ... but thank God the food is enough for all. The power of the F-O-O-D and as well G-O-D! We were also surprise to see Alvin turned up in the service. Yanjie, the only Singaporean in the church was so happy to see him and what coincidence, both of them wear RED! S'pore colour?

The idea of dinner/luncheon service prove to be a hit! I'm foreseeing this will happen more frequent next year! Blessed is our stomach. But it was really weird though, when Aaron was preaching, all of us were busy with our food!

After the service, we moved the people to the ministry house. It was games, movies, cooking, eating, sleeping, chatting all day round! Oh yea n Karaoke! Some people just enjoy singing and some people enjoy cooking, some people enjoy BBQing and some people enjoy doing nothing :P Talking about Karaoke, our dear brother Hiro, his average mark is about 95 points! it's no wonder Japanese invented the device.

Christmas dinner was another feast. I could barely eat anything! I have been eating the BBQ chicken wings, sausages and bacon while i was BBQing :P After dinner, we had firework! I was a bit disappointed of the firework in UK, not much sound, not much flavour! Very boring ... until the £25 firework (Picture of Yanjie with it). Although it finished in less than 1 minutes, but the sound and the display was truly awesome!

Present exchange is something we were all looking forward to! Cannot deny, all the presents this year were higher quality n value than previous years :P I got 4 bars of 'Hotel Chocolate' .... heard that is the rival of Thorntons! Don't really like the taste though! Still like my Cadbury :D

All in all, it was a great Christmas staying in London!
