On Friday night, I went to causeway point with Liang Ying to get a shirt for my concert on Saturday. As it was the first event that I was organizing, I had to look good. So I decided to get a dark coloured shirt to go along with my beige pants. We shopped around Causeway and went from john little to metro to various small shops. In the end, I got my shirt from John Little and it cost only $15.30. Oh I got a dark blue shirt. Later we went to 77th street to select some accessories to go along with my shirt. I select a choker with a black cross and Lly got some tribal looking bracelet. After shopping, I went back home and I met Syahid at woodlands MRT station toilet.

Finally, after all our planning and hard work, the date of the concert has arrived. In the morning we met up at 10am and had some rehearsal and practices before going for lunch together. During lunch, Justin and I treat everyone to drinks. After lunch, Char, Jon, Danny, Justin and I went back to church to thought of something for the gift exchange as well as to fold the brochure for the concert later. After planning the gift exchange, Char went to wrap the presents and the rest helped to fold the brochure. Deborah came later to make the name tags for everyone. Finally, at 16 20 the guest started coming and wow the turn out was great. Oh ya and I managed to get Camille and her friends to come for the concert. Although she had a lot of complains that it is childish, I still think that overall the event is a success. We had almost 100 plus people coming including SFers and friends and I heard that 8 people accepted Christ. Praise the Lord. I thank God that everything went well and people are actually touched by the skit and the songs that we sang. After the concert, we all went down for come dinner and fellowship with our guest. After everything, we had photo taking session where we had loads of fun and laughter.

Christmas eve today, we had baptism service today at church today and I was late and missed the baptism. After service, Jon, Sam, Gab, Justin and I went to CoCo for lunch. After lunch, I went back to church and later went bowling with Sam, Gracis, Tricia, Benjamin, Jackie, Terrence Lee and Joel. I won the first game with a score of 108 and the 2nd game I lost to Sam See who had like 116. She took a picture of it to remind her of her victory. After bowling, I went to Terrence's house and later Justin before going to Meridian hotel to support Samuel's choir which was caroling there. After watching the performance, we took lots of pictures and later we went to Gabriel’s house for a party and countdown. We had pizza and watched movie.

Merry Christmas to everyone whom I have missed due to my busy schedule. We had a Christmas event at church and it was good with some testimony and videos to watch. Some of the Sfers, me included helped out in the food serving. My job is to serve the cocktail. Well, dinner was same as the one we ordered on Saturday and it was great, I was introduced to some people during the dinner and we took many photos too. Oh by the way, the whole BS group was dressed in Jon's gift of the polo T-shirt and we went around showcasing our unity. But many did not catch it until we told them, so maybe next time we shall all dress in the same colour. I went home quite early as I have to wake up early the next day.
This Christmas is indeed fun and very fulfilling for me as I have the honor to plan an event for the SF and it was my very first. Although it was tough and tiring, but I am glad that everything turn out fine and smooth and many people have came up to me saying that it was great and that I had done a good job. Thank you for all your help and support but I really need to thank Jacob for his guidance and advice for me during this whole period. I would also like to thank my team and everyone who helped contribute to the success of the concert. But without the SFers and the friends they invited, this whole concert would be meaningless. I thank everyone for inviting their friends. Most importantly, I thank GOD greatly for giving me the strength and wisdom for the planning and concept for the concert and opening our friends' heart to want to come and listen to the greatest gift of GOD. For this Christmas, I had lots of fun too with stay overs and lots and lots of picture taking. However I am sorry that Sam got grounded because of my plans and hope that she can be free soon. Well it is now my 2nd year in church and well I have made more and more friends and grown closer to my BS group hope this stays.
