1st Sunday of Advent

Sick. Arh...how nice.
Well, the weather has been really cool & breezy for a good night's sleep.
But not too good for my sinus nose. Flu bug likes me a lot now.
Hope that i will recover in time before my Cambodia trip.
Strangely, it's the first time that I'm not feeling that excited for an overseas trip as before.
Maybe it was the phobia i had for architectural trip back in Year One. That trip to Bangkok was memorably stressful, intense accompanied with sleepless night. Although i know this time round it shouldn't be that bad, but...still that little apprehension.

1st Sun of Advent in church. Pretty intense day too. But at least got some time the day before to prepare for the reflection to share with the choir. Somehow it's always these things that "force" you to really sit down and do some serious reflections and "spiritual thinking". Hmm...but my actual delivery wasn't that good. Sometimes, I'm quite disturbed by a couple of the choir members when they just automatically switched off when I try to do something spiritual per se. I know perhaps they are tired and just wish to close their eyes and take a break. But the very judgmental me will straight away interpret it as they don't really care. IF i start to talk about parties or gatherings, majority will be so filled with energy and excitement. Is it me? Or that some are not really in the "right frame of mind" to be in this ministry instead of a social club? Hmm...I continue to pray for all and myself, to allow Jesus Christ to be born in all of us again. I just hope the choir could be more open to their spiritual life and talk about Christ in their lives, if we don't even start with sharing among our fellow Catholics, how ready are we to do so to the others?

Pageant practice was fruitful. Though not perfect, but we tried our best. We can eventually do it.

Kitchen renovation resumes tmr. And my mum's frustration over the dirtiness and dustiness of the whole house will just intensify. Just wish that my father and my sis dun add worries and naggings to her but try to live through these "dirty" days together with patience, tolerance and peace. Guess things will just get better when i return from Cambodia as more of the kitchen renovation works will have been accomplished and my mum shld be smiling her way by then.

Trying to look forward to the Cambodia trip. Have to reach T1 at 4.30am. Craziness.
