It is finally here

Man, after a month plus of waiting, I am proud to present the new addition to our family. Nope, not a person (yet) but our new car - Kia Cerato Forte. (aka xiao hei as what my sis and mum starts calling him. Jade, xiao hei and xiao huang can be friends yes...) Anyway, I think the car is too muscular to be called xiao hei. But it sounds cute enough, so yea it's alright.

Collected from pandan garden yesterday after a scorching day at the Airshow earlier on. The airshow was a good experience, shall have a post on it later. The car collection was smooth and the sales person certainly delivered as promised. Should you guys want to get a kia, can get the person contact from me.

PS: Mine is black, not silver

God provides out of His abundance. Thank you Lord.

Akan Datang

Well, this is going to be a short week for me. I will be on leave this coming Friday and the following Monday for a short getaway trip to Langkawi with a bro from JC times. The adventurous us booked the Tiger tickets last November. It's my first proper overseas trip since my family Korea trip in December 2008 (discounting Melaka and mission trips last year). Looking forward to a relaxing time at the resort and by the beach. Hope this will be a good time of rest & recreation - a quality one and be recharged, re-energize and re-focused after this trip. My friend has already tell me he's bringing books there to read... haha. with 4D3N there, i think I shd have time for some reading too. But there are some activities we can do there, like mangrove kayaking, the cable car ride with splendid view, massage, spa, eat, shop.... but i reckon we will give those expensive programmes a miss. I am already stretched having to set aside money for the coming car. Plus I want to meet my 2010 resolution of having some saving.

As we can only register our car after 25th Jan for the new OPC scheme, the earliest collection date will be 1st week of February. It's getting exciting owning a car as the date draws nearer.

Down payment has been made for our Kia Cerato Forte =D

Christmas 2009

It was a gathering with my JC clique on Christmas eve. Due to some unforeseen changes, this year gathering was down to just 4 of us. We did not carry our plan to hit some pub but instead did some sharing and updating on our lives. We shared on the good & bad in 2009 and our anticipation for 2010 and also our wishes for each other in this coming year. Even thou the night did not tun out to be as happening as originally planned, but I think it was a meaningful silent night =)

Our feast =)

The much anticipated gift exchange!

Having slept just 2 hrs the night before, I had a quick shower before heading for Christmas Service. The message shared by the Pastor, thou familiar, is a necessary reminder that the first Christmas present that was ever given was Jesus Christ Himself coming to earth.

After the service, it was a lunch session with my cell mates @ Westmall. I am thankful for these cell mates of mine. They are ever present for any occasions. Be it to share the joy of a happy event or to join in prayer for any difficult situations. No picture taken for lunch but I am sure there will be many taken for our 2nd Jan 2010 gathering =)

And there's a family dinner that I had just a while ago (ie. 25Dec evening) at Dian Siao Er JP outlet. It was just an impromptu suggestion and we went ahead since everyone is available =) Much of the talk over dinner was the kia Cerato Forte which we are considering. Talking abt the new car, I am still excited. Hopefully to get it before 2009 ends =)

Car Viewing

In just 1 year, I have gotten my license and now the possibility of owning a car is a step closer. I will be down the car showroom with my Sis later this afternoon to view the car I/we have been eyeing on since early this year - Kia Cerato Forte. She had a different car in mind but later came to realise the beauty of this car too. (or maybe just giving in to me. Thanks!)

We will just be down to view the car model, find the best package around and review our options before committing. So not sure how long that would take but the process should be an exciting one. Car certainly is a liability but for our case, the convenience and novelty do outweigh the liability IMO.

God is faithful and provides out of His abundance in His own way and timing.
