MERRYYY CHRISTMASSSSS

These are my presents.

I decided to take a photo of them because I want to remember how God has provided for me this year... even in just presents. And all of you know how much I L.O.V.E presents.

I received presents from new friends I met in Sydney- my lovely housemate and also my ballet friend. I got presents from my old colleagues at the Alfred hospital- both from my immediate team but also from the other girls in the department. I received presents from my old OCF and housemate- Jit Jing. I even got presents (yes, plural-the 2nd one is still in the mail) from Rob that I met at DTS who's now in Japan. And of course, from Mummy & Pokey who had to shop waaayyy in advance. And even the iPad2 that I used to take the photo. Presents, presents, presents.

Isn't God good!!!!???? Already, "..man will live forever more because of Christmas Day" and on top of those, a sprinkling of material gifts. Blessed. I am blessed.

Sasketchewan Day 1

Sasketchewan!





I haven't posted in this blog for soooo long!! I'm now in Sasketchewan, spending Christmas with Courtney and her family. I asked Courtney if I could come over in September. I knew her but not that well. haha. Thankfully, we grew closer over the term. :)

Yesterday we went to a bakery. It was alright. The bread was tasty and the place smelled amazing because they were making ginger bread cookies. We had lunch there - the sandwiches were so-so but the bread was good. And then I bought an almond croissant and wanted to try a ginger man. The man gave them to me for FREE!

after that, we went to the Museum of Western Development to see the christmas display.
"Stroll through a wonderland of animated Christmas stories and delights. Originally built by the Eaton's company for its Winnipeg store in 1946, this cleverly designed display is one of the finest productions of its kind in Canada. Don't forget - the rest of the WDM has also been transformed into a Christmas wonderland too!" http://wdm.ca/stoon/exhibits.html

Courtney found them really creepy apparently!

Later that night, we went to the enchanted forest. http://www.enchanted-forest.org/


And that ends the first day!
