cny eve:
basically i slacked the whole day away (what happened to my plan to start mugging! argh.) then at abt 6 plus xiao jiu and xiao gu came to pick us up to go 2 zi pat's house. this yr didn't have steamboat!! cos zi pat's wife wanted to cook. yeahhh =(. but ohwells. she cooked really good food! there were prawns (i ate like abt 4? lol. cld have eaten more but was too lazy 2 peel. heh.), mutton (which was REALLY good), chicken, veg, pigstomach's soup! (ahhh. my fav! and there was so much pepper! just how i like it((: ), and really spicy fried rice! (which i also found totally delicious lah!) yuppp. so i ate until i almost exploded. and then we lao-ed yusheng. but didn't eat much of it lah. but i ate the raw fish! ((: yummm. lol. after gg to taiwan i have developed a liking for raw fish! ((: and i drank this 6% alcohol wine! which was so YUMMY! it was a bit sweet. just nice. and i cldn't believe i was actually enjoying wine! like.. that's a first! yupp. and cos it was xiao jiu's bdae, so we had icecream cake! frm swensens! ((: yummy! and we watched this super lame chinese shw, then watched a bit of mr bean (haha. we watch this vcd every yr at reunion dinner) oh and i was so happy when i heard zi pat and his wife have become christians! yay! praise the Lord! this news was enuff to keep me happy the whole cny! indeed God works in wonderful ways! ((:

cny day 1:
didn't feel like cny to me lah. cos i went to church until abt 4. then went to xiao gu's house aft tt where all daddy's side was. don't like these times of cny, cos i don't rly tok to my daddy's sisters' children. i only like my cousins tt come for reunion dinner! (ie: my daddy's brothers' children) yeah. so was feelin quite sian. then went to my fav cousin's(!) room and read this book on his table. then finally he came back wif his parents and gf! haha. yayyy. happy to see them again! ((: and i like his gf so yupp. had seafood pasta for dinner! (it was some weird crazy notion of my xiao gu and my cousin to NOT have any chinese food this cny. LOL.) and garlic bread and salad and german sausages! ((: YUMMM. i totally LOVED the food! and i drank so many different types of wine today! 6%, 12%, 16%, even a 30% alcohol one! hahaah. i still like the 6% one the BEST. oh and the sparkling juice got abandoned lah cos we all started drinking the wine. LOLS. so for the first time, my cousin was begging us to finish up the sparkling juice so she cld throw the bottle away. normally it just gets gobbled up real quick. heh.

cny day 2:
went to maternal grandma's house. and ooooh. phyllidia is soooooo CUTE! (yes, that's her name, phyllidia. her sis is phyllis and her bro is philbert. now you know why she has such a name. LOL) she's like such a charming and super friendly toddler! ahhh. i love this cousin of mine! hehh. and her lil red cheena boots were sooooo cute! hhaha. yupp. actually nothing eventful today. just visited maternal grandma, then we all went to some uncle's house. yeahhh. then went home. and i slept. AGAIN. hahaha. what a peeeg. lol. (but SOMEONE'S more of a PIG. haha) yeahhh. so i practised the piano (sian. ) and watched tv. yeah. that's abt it. heh.

oh, daddy showed me this http://ecards.worshiptogether.com/soldierStory/player.html>website which i found super touching and meaninful. it made me tear. indeed, God is sovereign over all, and in God alone do i trust. IN CHRIST ALONE. i especially liked this verse :
No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ i stand!

meaningful. my favourite song now. ((:

love, huili.
