Today I heard Francis make a comment in office - "After having a baby, Christmas is really different..." Haha... I totally understand the basis of that statement, cos we're both new parents this year and so it's the first time we experience the 'parents' culture in church office.

It turned out that all the parents will not buy gifts for each other, but rather buy gifts for each others' kids! Well, of course not every parent who're church staff will do that, but at least for those whose kids are in the office nursery, they will buy Christmas gifts for each other. Joey received all kind of toys from different uncles & aunties, but it's Mummy Klessis who is more thrilled at this point, cos she really doesn't understand much now. Hehe.. When I find the time, I shall take photos of all her presents and blog them!

As for myself, I am also a very happy person because I got what I really wanted as presents! God is good, He hears prayers. Haha..

Pastor Audrey gave me a really nice orange long-sleeved top from SKIN. It comes with a hood (I love clothes with hoods!) and has really large bell sleeves. Very cool! I wore them the very next day!

Among the zone secretaries, we had our usual annual gift exchange. What we did was to write down 3 things as our wishlist and our 'angels' were supposed to get us one of the 3 items. My angel Wenkai bought me a very nice sleeveless top from BUM Equipment. It's really very nice cos it's got crystals on it, which I just love! But deep in my heart, I actually really wanted a new belt, cos the one I have now is breaking down, literally. The next thing I knew, Mingjing gave me a Guess box and inside was a belt!!! Wow! I was so happy, cos it's a studded belt, and it was what I wanted. God is really good. : )

I believe more gifts are coming..... hehehehe....
