Araunah Report #1 - CHRISTMAS!

Hey guys,

I'm sure we all had a lot of fun during Christmas! WHOOO!

First it was the caroling, and we had the opportunity to make our own hats. Sure they were wonky but they were our own brainchild(ren)! And it's a refreshing change from wearing the same old red Santa hat every year. It's instead more like a Birthday party hat celebrating Christ's birthday, which is the real celebration!

Then we took off to Hooi Ling's house and played some games! After which, the drivers were all given special ribbons to tie on our cars' antennas for fun =D. Mine is still there, mwahahahahaha...

Went to Mr Liew's place, where we had our abundant dinner... THANK YOU! Next was Mr Hing's place, where we continued our snacking... Lastly, we rushed to Carmen's place where we had an onslaught of desserts and everyone was full up to the neck.

We rushed back to church (after visiting four houses and singing at least 15 songs or so!) and continued singing! We countdown-ed and then played games led by WC and John Lian. We were united and close as a new group in the CLAP, SNAP, STOMP game =D.

Today Christmas morning worship, we enjoyed a time of praising God and watching cute and entertaining performances. There was also the time where we all informally exchanged gifts. Chocolates, cookies, lollipops and baskets of make-up were everywhere! Passing the love :).

Christmas Outreach Night had us singing a lot of our favourite songs again with multitudes of newcomers. The AMP gave us yet another wonderful dinner. After that, we heard a message from Steven Yam (in Cantonese, banyak giler Chinese sayings he give eh) and he told us how priceless God and his sacrifice for us is.

And of course, the night ended with a breaking note as MAD team presented us the sketch, "Beautiful" Syok right looking at all those lumps of disease??? Actually they are a combination of hard-work, chewing gum, make-up, tissue, glue and sweat. Our commander WEN CHEONG and deputy KIMBERLY was also in the sketch, along with JEN RUW, LOUIS (counted lah since he married our mentor XD) and WING! They and the whole cast did a good job on their musical numbers and the message of their songs echoed around the church hall.

Just a brief report for GROUP ARAUNAH's first expedition!
