The day before Christmas

It is 23 Dec today. But I am still working. And this year we will celebrate Christmas in KK..which means less celebrations, less preparations and less church activities. Cant even join or entertain Christmas carols because my family in law (husband included) are Chinese-new-year people. But this year got little improvement because I have bought a Christmas tree and father-in-law bought the lamp.

I really missed the Christmas celebrations in kampung. Usually as early as early December there will be many plans to celebrate Christmas, either church ones, families etc. Its a busy month but the most exciting and blessed month because its a special month to give. Many presents to prepare, prayer meetings to attend, Christmas carols practices and so on.

Prior to Christmas day, there will be short seminar which topic is usually related to Christmas. During that time, members will cook and eat together at church so no one will miss the seminar sessions. In between the sessions, musicians and singers usually take chance to practice for worship during Christmas. Normally its because they just got back for holiday.

So people in town usually take 1 week holiday to fully celebrate Christmas with family and friends at kampung. Until 2012, I was still one of them...

Last 2013, we went back on 24th and after service on Christmas day, we came back to KK. I still had my leave back then but my husband need to work on 26th so...what to do..

This year I got complimentary leave from 24th to 27th Dec..But because we attend two churches in KK now, we decided to attend the Christmas eve in my church while 25th in his church. 26th will go back kampung to spend the time with family members. I am thinking of celebrating new year in kampung...but that's not my decision to make..

It is ok btw..as long as I know, understand and believe in the true meaning of Christmas..celebrating it anywhere will be just exciting..

So...

MERRY CHRISTMAS! May the gracious Lord bless you and gives you joy till the end of time.

Amen!

Short Vacay in KL

Hubby and I went on short trip to KL on 13th - 15th March. But actually hubby was already in KL for work from 10th March so I was only followed him there on 13th. It was very short and tiring vacation but we still enjoyed the moment so much.. It was my first time arrived at Klia2, it was quite spacious but I still can find direction easily as there were enough signboards to follow. I went directly to 1 Utama via Skybus. It took me about an hour to reach there. I went here for dinner with my sister who worked at The Curve. This kafe is located at Ikano (IPC), just opposite the The Curve building. Creative menus' book. I ordered the Traditional Mien Fen Guo. and drink the soy milk as I felt gastric was attacking :( My food! It was tasty enough, licin juga la sa makan. Hoho This was my sister's. If not mistaken, it was dried...mien. Cant recall the exact name. The sauce was perfect! After dinne...

Cerita Suka Duka Bisnes Shaklee

Bercampur baur perasaan bila ingat-ingat balik kenangan masa mula2 buat bisnes Shaklee. Awal-awal dulu tiada transport sendiri dan sa jarang simpan ready stock, bila ada order sa cari runner utk beli di branch & COD sm customer. Kalau jual harga non member, ada la suku atau kdg2 half profit bagi runner; belajar berbagi rezeki. Syukur jg runner yg sa pernah berurusan cukup jujur & amanah. God bless you bro! Dari penampang, ke seluruh Kota Kinabalu. Pernah juga minta runner datang ambil stok dari church sebab customer mau urgent masa tu. Bangga dgn kepelbagaian org Sabah, semua pun sporting habis. Ada jg customer request order dulu tapi belum byr, sebab kawan2 jg jadi sa beli dulu guna duit sendiri. Sekalinya last minit cancel order🤣 berhuhuhu sajalah dan berusaha jual balik sm org lain. Lesson learnt. Jadi jgn heran kalau sa minta payment dlu, kecuali COD la😁 Pernah dapat customer jauh dari Aussie beli bbrp kotak Nutriferon utk anak dia yg ada eczema. Tapi bila dia repeat...

CNY 2015

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Xinnian Kuaile! Chinese New Year marked the busiest day of the year. Weekends were filled with cleaning chores, shopping, preparing for food, hanging the tang-lung and get new $$$ notes for angpows. CNY eve was just like a simple dinner for us, no yeesang as other chinese families would usually do. But good la because not much work to do. First day CNY, we went to church :) I know I have the chinese look. haha Around 3.30pm my family came to visit but only bapa n few siblings n nephews/niece. Mama could not come due to other commitments. Some of the snacks & drinks for guests, orange is a must! With my youngest sister and niece. It's a must to take picture during CNY :D They stayed for dinner and then go back home around 7pm. Afterwards all mom-in-law relatives came until around 9pm. Quite tired~~~ Second day CNY, sis-in-law's family came home for lunch, and then we went to...
