blessings continued...
hey hey.... the 2 days of Chinese NY are over in a flash! hee.. thank God I took leave today, otherwise, it's back to work again.. can't believe it.. :）
But God is truly GOOD! Even though I am married, and legitimately supposed to give ang pow instead of receiving, I received some ang pows this year... cos some elders decided to give as a form of blessings.. it's not the amount, but it's the joy that comes along with receiving ang pows! hee... And it's true, giving is more blessed than to receive, so it's a wonderful joy to be able to distrbute ang pows to the younger ones.. : )
Anyway, went back to JB on the first day of the new year, and it's a pretty standard kind of celebration... first to granny's place for a big gathering of feast, then it's to the 4th auntie's place for coffee and biscuits... the older ones will all gather round the dining table & have their annual musings, while the younger ones like us will gather round to watch TV.. yeh, it's all predictable..
So, what's the programme for the weekend this week? Legitimately speaking, CNY lasts for 15 days, so we'll have some of the church people mainly the leaders coming over to my house to chill on saturday.. then, on sunday, we got a car and will be going on visitation tour to some of our ex-church mates' houses... going to Ah Hao's place, esther's place... can't go to mei's place cos they got relatives coming over.. but anyway, guess it's gonna be an eventful sunday! : )
