*.*.*Lunar New Year 2007*.*.*

Oh great! It is now February 2007 and I have not blogged a single entry for 2007...Boy am I on schedule..Hahahaha. It is the first day of the Lunar New Year today and since it is such an auspicious occasion, I thought it would be nice to start the first blog entry of 2007 on this auspicious day.... riiiight. hehe.

I just paid a CNY visit to my grandma's place, it is also known as the H.Q to me, as that's where all my relatives gather there every CNY and we get to catch up with each other. This year's CNY is rather unique. Pastor Jeff spoke to us last Friday during the CNY service that we should make a deliberate effort to go beyond just knowing our relatives and catching up with them, but to bring Jesus and God into our conversations. I made a mental note to myself last Friday that I will try to do so as difficult as it may be for my family as most of my relatives were Taoists believers.

Surprisingly, I would say that God gave me the perfect opportunity when Uncle Billy talked about religions and I brought in the topic of not just knowing Jesus and believing that He exists, but to have a personal relationship with Jesus is important as well. Uncle Billy listened and took it in pretty positively. I'm glad and am thankful for this opportunity that I can share something wonderful to my loved ones. I just hope that someday soon my relatives would all come to know Jesus and accept Him as Lord and saviour. =)

Now, the other unique part of this Lunar New Year is that I brought a special someone to meet my relatives and most importantly my most beloved grandma. *Gulps* Hehe. I love my grandma very much...so her opinions are very important to me. Heee... I was a little nervous wondering how both parties would react to each other. Anxious if everything would go well or both would be hurling pots and pans at each other instead! I mean Grandma's a really cool and easy-going lady actually (I really mean she's cool cos which Grandma would sit the "Viking ship" with us at some carnival when we travelled to Australia and not flinch at all when the ride took off and only complained it messed up her hair after the ride? Note: Gramps was like 60ish 70 when she took that ride with us. Don't ya think its cool? Well, at least I think so.) so I admit...that's just my imagination at play and I guess the anxiety just stems from my own paranoia.. Hehe.

Well, I would say that my imagination was disappointed and that God is a good God. Everything went well and grandma only has good things to say. Phew! Hehe..I still feel kindof awkward and shy about this *ahem* important aspect of my life.. heheh.. but I do know that things have taken an interesting twist and I'm just going to enjoy this journey that God has brought me to.

So before I end off and do another disappearing act... hahahaha... (You guys have to get used to this ya? I'm a busy girl. Heeee... =P) I wish all of you a prosperous and happy new year..."Gong Hei Fatt Choy"!!
