And there goes another year, I am trying to think back to what I was doing a year ago. College applications I believe.. other than that, I can’t remember. This year is starting to be quite a memorable Christmas though.
I didn’t recieve any big gifts or anything but I have been able to go out with friends, have a drink or two and enjoy each others company. I attended the Christmas Eve Service at ECC and it was awesome! Nothing dragged, the message was great and refreshing and as usual, the worship was better than amazing. It’s very comforting to be able to go back to the home church to celebrate this beautiful holiday, with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
On Christmas day, I spent the morning and lunch with my family then went to a party at someone’s flat! It was a party for the staff at this particular restaurant I drop by once in a while. I was excited that they invited me to their party, who would’ve thought? I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out because they were all “local” chinese and I’m not sure to being around, listening to speaking so much cantonese. But it ended up being a blast! We played games taken from a famous Chinese TV game show that plays on TV every Sunday night. The games are ridiculous but absolutely hilarious. We exchanged gifts, joked around, chatted and had a good time. A few of us ended the evening at Sahara having a drink and having some shisha. A memorable Christmas day, indeed.
Christmas, New Years, Parties, then I’m back to work in Phnom Penh again.
Time really flies when you’re enjoying yourself.
I’m having family time (along with another family friend’s family) tomorrow all day, cable cars, good views, karoke, it should be good fun. Till then, have a good one.
