How marvelous is the month of December!!!

Intervarsity spread the joy of Christmas last weekend by volunteering at the Salvation Army. We helped out in food packing for the poor and homeless people.

It really gave me a 'wake-up' call when I helped out as there is really so many people out there who can't even afford to have a proper meal.

Pictures time again ....

The food that were donated to Salvation Army

Food packaging. For that few hours, I feel we were like working in assembly lines..
The bags that are ready to be given out..
Shalina is trying her very best to look awake, but....
Check out our strong arms !!! And Shalina look puzzled...haha
Everyone say Christmas!!!

On a very very very different note, FINALS is next week. I am so not prepare for them. Please do pray for me !!!

My church did their musical Christmas drama yesterday. It is common for church over here to have their Christmas concert/celebration this early because on Christmas day itself, everyone will be back with their families.

Pictures time....

Camera whoring again..

Been reading some of my friends' blogs and most of them are about the political condition in Malaysia. Didn't realize that my home country is really getting that 'tense'. Scary....

Anyway, it is already the month of December!!!

The best part is .. it still haven't snow yet..=)

But I am hoping that it will snow on Christmas Day itself. I would want a white Christmas this year too. It snowed early November last year and everything was so beautiful and scenic during Christmas season. The houses along the road were decorated with lights and ornaments and they can really make you feel the Christmas mood by just looking at them. There are almost a Christmas tree in every house and the symbolic star on every top of the tree really makes you feel so blessed and happy that there IS Christmas.

I really can't wait for Christmas now. I cant wait to sing carols and indulge in a great meal of Christmas food. Not to mention, I miss gift exchange. I did not have any gift exchange last year since I was in Chicago. So, since I will be around here this year, I will MAKE SURE gift exchange will happen among me and my friends..=) The only bad thing that come across my mind is that I will only be done with my finals on December 21st. It is like only 4 days before Christmas. How to have time to shop for christmas gifts ? Besides that, I will have to move out from my room before December 23rd since the dorm will close during winter break. So, one day will be gone for packing. Left 3 days for Christmas shopping? Darnnn Darnn....

The more I write this entry, the more I feel the Christmas feel. I really cant wait for Christmas...

Bells are jingling...all the way... =)
