Houdini's Christmas

And so I did a 'houdini' and disappeared from the blogging world for close to 2 months. Everyone's been asking me wassup with my sudden disappearance. Thanks to my temperamental internet connection, I was disconnected from this aspect of my life.

I'm @Aunt Sharon's place now for a family Christmas celebration and thought I'll just escape awhile from the family gathering to catch up a bit on this aspect of my life. Hehe.

Let's see.... I last left you guys in October with a sore bum due to the fall I had from trying to glimpse at a celebrity while roller blading and up to today I have no idea who he/she is still! Lol. Well, the bum has recovered since that day (hehe... it better!), there's been a whole chain of activities (i.e. Singapore Biennale - somehow all I remembered from that outing was that it was an exceptionally humid day to view art exhibits @Tanglin Camp..hehe...) lined up in my life that took time away from blogging as well. There's also been alot of changes. Like, having my hair cropped to near chin length into a bob style. One of the changes that I embraced, since it saves maintenance time as well as shampoo and conditioner costs. Hahah. Lazy girl here...

Speaking of changes, I have had a number of changes just this last quarter of the year that whenever I think back, I am just so grateful that something's just don't change as there's only a limit to how much change one (Or in this case, I can take) can take within a quarter! Other than my hairstyle, I had a change in the populations I handled at work, our office just shifted to Raffles' Place from Tanjong Pagar and being in the business district, there's been some changes to my cost of living as well...hehe.

Amidst all these changes, I am thankful that the lover of my soul doesn't change. It may sound cliche or cheesy... but I really do feel this way. He's always there for me no matter what changes I go through and he's always there even when I'm so caught up in whirlwind activities. He's patiently waiting for me to speak to Him and to draw near to Him and yet, in any condition that I am in (be it in angst, in joy, etc), I never fail to seek an audience with Him.

The one change that I'm so happy about in this last quarter of 2006 is that I know that the degree of intimacy with Him has deepened and brought to new heights. I so do not want to lose this and am trying hard to make an effort to maintain or draw even nearer to Him, eventhough I admit that lethargy, tiredness, a couch potato's distraction and all that does make me spend less time with Him. Yet, He's still crazy about me despite all that...

This Christmas, I'm reminded of all the things He has blessed me with, His wonderful love and His grace that many a times I feel I so do not deserve. Most of all, as I looked at my family's love for me, my lovely relatives having a jolly good time bonding, my 'foul-weathered' friends that have stood by me all these while, my wonderful caregroup brothers and sisters whom I have grown so fondly of, my hilarious and ever happening colleagues, I'm so thankful for God just being God! I see His love through all these people and I know that it is with His birthday on Christmas that I can come to have all these. So before I head back to join my bubbly and oh-so-noisy relatives (hehe..I'm not complaining mind you... ) I just wanna tell the lover of my soul, Happy Birthday and thank You so much for being just You!

P/s: I may just do a 'houdini' again..... hehehe.... until then, here's wishing you all and your family a Christmas filled with love and joy and a New Year with all your heart's desires being fulfilled.
