Merry Christmas to ALL READERS.

This Christmas wasn't really bad, thanks to my cousins. I love you all man, you guys ROCKS!

On the 24th we went to my church service (Bethany Church), together with them. We had fun, and Celebration of Praise was AWESOME!!! They are super and extremely talented! I am proud to be an Indonesian!! Lol.

On the 25th I went to my cousins' church (the Cathedral) for their Christmas service. I was rather reluctant to attend the cathedral though because I am not a Catholic, unlike them. But I have a moral obligation to them since they attended my church's Christmas service. This is actually my first time attending a Catholic service. I have tried Presbyterian way before (my church follows Charismatic Denomination), and even though I felt funny and uneasy but I still think it's okay. But Catholic services are totally different, even compared to Presbyterian. I thot Catholic would be something like Presbyterian but I was wrong. Anyway I am not going to explain further on this. After church we went to Chinatown to by some souveniers for the loved ones back in Jakarta.


Then we went home and celebrate my dad and mum's 25th Anniversary (so cute!). We had dinner at Hua Yu Wee Seafood Restaurant until we were too full and decided to walk about 5 bus stops before finally taking our bus home.


The next day, we went to the East Coast Beach in the morning, then to the Esplanade, and had dinner at Lau Pa Sat.


At night, we went on a 3-days 2-nights cruise trip and that was the most happening part of my holiday. Something happened though (like my grandma forgot to bring her passport, my cousin was angry because we woke her up from her nap, etc) but everything ended well. Thank God. We spent our 3 days 2 nights on the cruise mostly eating (we had like 4 to 5 meals in a day, can you imagine??!), laughing, talking, playing board games, walking around the ship, playing basketball, swimming, jacuzzi-ing, and taking photographs and videos. Below are photographs taken ON THE SHIP except the first photograph.


I was not in a very well emotional state recently, and the cruise trip really helped me much in forgetting all the pains and problems I had back here in Singapore. With the presence of my lovely cousins, and the holiday away from Singapore, I am sure I'm gonna get adjusted soon enough. Eventhough I am not 100% emotionally recovered and back to my oldself yet, but everything that happens recently sure plays a part in the healing process and I am thankful for that.

Reached home, we (again) went to the East Coast Park to chill and visited my uncle's house. It's as if we were not sick of the sea yet after 3 days on the ship. There we saw the East Coast Park by Night. I was rather upset because I had to come back to the reality and go back to school. Sigh. Not that I don't like Temasek, it's just that I had to meet people I don't wanna meet. True enough, the next day, unfortunately, I had to come to school to finish up one of our projects, while the rest went to Jurong Bird Park in the day and Orchard Road in the evening.

The next day on Sunday, after going to church (yes, Bethany Church), we went to the Singapore Science Centre until it closes. It was fun but tiring day. We were exhausted but my cousins still wanna go to Suntec City after that. They sure have the energy!



On Monday, I went to school and they go back home to Jakarta safely. I miss them truly. You are the greatest!
