The pre 2008 post

3 days more to the new year and I am trying really hard not to tumble into 2008, but stride in with God's confidence. The truth is that it has been a busy few weeks, and time seems to be zooming past! 2008 plans seem to be in haphazard chunks floating around my mind. Ministry calendar almost there, work calendar in trying to find its way. I think my mental and spiritual preparation towards the new year have got heaps more to go.

I have got many overdued items on my agenda, overdued blog post that has been accumulating inside my mind (I think more or less constipated already heh! :), emails to reply, photos to upload, reflections of 2007, pray and prepare for the new year .... okay i shall take each step at a time.

First of all a 3 days late Christmas greetings from us! (this paragraph is written on a collective term on behalf and alongside with my lovely hub) Merry Christmas to everyone. Especially those back in Singapore, our dear family and friends. We miss you all a lot. We watched Sophie's baptism clip wished we were there. Yet on this special celebration we thanked HIM for His provision always in our lives, family and friends whom we love so much and we're glad that we had each other too. Our first Christmas together as a f.a.m.i.l.y :) spent it with some friends (our spiritual family) which was great fun.

Breaking the silence :)

I finally picked up my brushes and dug out my acrylics sometime last week again. I have been wanting to paint for my parents as a combined Birthday cum Christmas present for them. Sometimes it's really hard to get something for them considering that they have almost everything. I themed this painting "Love transcends", an old volks wagon van, better termed as "Mian Bao Che" (vehicle shaped like a loaf of bread), old but well loved model. I never fail to wow at them each time i spot them on the streets. With 2 little love birds sitting on the old cable. This painting was inspired because i know my dad just loves vintage looking paintings. Just a little something that hopefully they will like! :) i really enjoyed myself tho.
