I can't believe its December... rewind please!

I'm a little frustrated that I haven't had time to set-up the Christmas tree at home and its already the 2nd week of December. I usually get it up by November.

It's been an extremely busy year...especially November and December. And I've had 7 consecutive Sundays booked with rehearsals, events and activities from November to December. I miss having time with my family and Hoi Hian...just having dinner with them and chilling out. I feel like I'm running around constantly.

Anyway, things are more relaxed now... just a few more events to go and I need to clear 6.5 days leave this month, which leaves me with just a few days to work... but still quite some work to deliver.

Anyway, enough of work. 2 things I wanna highlight this month....

Bolt
One of my favourite movies this year by Walt Disney Pictures about Bolt, a superstar dog who accidentally gets shipped to New York from Hollywood. While he's lost, he realises that he's not really a superdog and it was all a lie by the movie producers. But amidst his challenges and loneliness, he befriends a cat and a hamster and together they make the journey back to Hollywood to look for Bolt's beloved 'person' Penny. It truly showcases the wonderful heart of a dog that is perfectly loyal. And a really superb night.... Dew Media Appreciation 2008!

We didn't have the usual thank you speeches... well, just a few. Instead, everyone just let their hair down and enjoyed themselves singing and dancing to the 70s music that Paulos had compiled (lots of Abba)! We had quite a crazy time... with Cindy being the MC. What made it special for me was seeing everyone enjoy one another's company and just being themselves. I had no idea they had SO MUCH passion to dance! No doubt we're all different and imperfect, but we have a God who loves us as who we are... and that's why we should love each other the same way. I shared just one verse with them which I felt spoke to me a lot recently and something we should never forget:-

To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. Mark 12:33
