The world of JULIANA

Recently, we’ve begun to have prayer get-togethers at our home once a month. Last month, we had a splendid time, discussing issues pertaining to FAITH ! Apart frm a variety ideas that we brainstormed together, every one brought a dish each and we had a sumptious dinner together! There was nasi goreng, muffins, curry puffs, etc! Had so much fun and we didn’t even realize the time passing!

Itz end November and in de wink of an eye, itz gonna be December . . .and . . . it’ll be Christmas time! Yippppppppppppieeeeeeeeee ! *jumps around excitedly.

Sadly, this year, I’m not gonna be able to participate in our church carolling and Children’s Christmas Party events, thanks to a compulsory course which I have to attend at work.

Did I mention tht I’d be out of town thru’out the period of this course, a mere 2 wks prior to Christmas? *Sigh

Oh well . . that just means Robz and I will have to do Christmas decorations shopping a lot earlier than our usual 11th-hour-style! *laughs

Till I have more exciting stories to tell, I shall not ‘hog’ this blog

(wow, that rhymed) with dull paragraphs! 

Life is a box of chocolates, ain’t it?

Sometimes, months passed by so uneventfully and quietly. Then comes a w’kend blasting with a truck load of activities tht leaves you overwhelmed. Such was my w’kend. One of my favourite cousins got married. We’re de same age and we’ve always been close. I still remember when she and I spent a fair bit of time in Taiping together. I have pleasant memories of playin’ tennis with her, and we even went to the Taiping Zoo together! Now, she’s a mature married woman, just like me! *Haha…yea rite!

The Wedding

I was indeed honoured when months ago, she approached me and asked if I could play de organ for her wedding. Delighted I was!! It gave me such joy to play the wedding march as she walked in radiantly, hand in hand with my Uncle who walked her down her aisle. It certainly brought back a gush of memories of ME walkin’ down de aisle just barely 2yrs,2mths ago!

Family Reunion

With cousin’s wedding on board, relatives frm all over de world had gathered together. Such awesome fellowship we shared, meeting up at various spots for prayer meetings, dinners,etc. I totally love family gatherings. This is the time for us to exchange stories with each other, for laughter,etc. Of course there’s the gossip-group as well. I usually steer clear away frm ‘em! *laughs

The Dog

Robz has been yearning for a second dog ‘coz he says Sammy always looks so darn lonely. Hence, ’bout 2wks ago, off we went to the pet-shop ,hunting for a 2nd pet. We saw a li’l puppy that resembled a ‘baby wolf’ at first glance. We exchanged glances with the puppy, played around and cuddled him for a bit and in less than ten minutes, we were both crazy over him. We made a reservation that evenin’ and immediately named him, even tho’ he wuz still at the shop!! ‘Gypsy’s his name and as of now, he’s comfortably resting in our verandah! Yep, we bought him ‘coz Robz was adamant on wanting a second dog. As far as I’m concerned, he does the maintenance whilst I do the ‘observations’ *wink wink

Christmas Carolling

Once again, the yuletide season is around the corner. Which means that church-work begins again. With joy, the usual suspects gathered for our carolling practice. The young and the old, together we sang familiar songs once again whilst Robz strummed his black-shiny-acoustic guitar.My duty’s to check out some BLUE material for our carollers’ uniform. Hopefully we come up with somethin’ pretty and smart for de men and ladies of de carolling group. Will update this entry laterz.

Many more stories to write ’bout . . . will keep updating this blog over de next few days. Till then, have a pleasant week, folks! *Waves
