Today, I saw many celebrating by holding barbecues. But I wonder, how do they celebrate Christmas in the less fortunate countries? Hopefully the Cambodia missionary team brought some light into the fortunate and the less-fortunate's lives.

Today, gifts were exchanged and and wishes said. Every year, the same thing happens. How about the many who aren't able to celebrate with their loved ones? Like me? Or those who are just away from their families? To many, Christmas is just another public holiday which you get presents. Not many people really get the essence of the Christmas spirit. For those who think; 'What the heck? Why are you posting about this?' Here's your answer: we take celebrations such as these that can bring us closer to one another for granted.

I'm not going to type about the Christmas spirit, but my friend Elaine and that special someone knows it very well. Do visit their blogs when you're free. To the Cambodia team, if you're reading this, Merry CHRISTmas. We can't wait to welcome you back on Monday. To the rest of us in Singapore, lets keep the Cambodia team in prayer that they'll always be safe and sound. That they have learnt new lessons about life. And that they'd come back even more mature!!

I'll leave you all with this.

It's a quote from my old post, but obviously, I've edited it.

'We left immature and ungrateful.

We learnt the lesson of appreciation.

We lived the hard life.

We came back mature and stronger then ever.'
