A few nights before valentines day, the guys asked me if I would be free on a Saturday as they were planning something special for fellowship. A Valentines event
On Saturday, at 7pm, Cheryl came by to make sure that the girls were decently dressed, I was still oblivious of the plans the guys were having. So around 7.30pm, four of us girls (Cheryl,Cecilia,Lyn Wei and I), went to Xun Jin’s room for our dinner. Right in front of us, we saw a long table, wine glasses, and other fine cutleries. It looked as if we had just entered a posh restaurant. We were asked to take our seats and in just a couple of minutes, the guys brought in our dinner. We were served Beef steak(with an awesome tasting black pepper sauce), mashed potatoes, and fresh saladsWe toasted and started our exquisite dinner. And much to our surprise, the guys prepared dessert as well. Chocolate-fondue with marshmallows, bananas, strawberries, and ice cream.
While enjoying our desert, Kelvin shared with us on the topic ‘love’.
We discussed about what Love is all about and Kelvin taught us about the 5 different kinds of Love in Greek and The 3 Myths of Love.
Kelvin then asked us what was our ‘dream valentine date’ would be like and it was nice to know that all of us, guys and girls have our own different wants, and perception of how we would like our valentine to be.
The best part was when we were asked to write a love poem containing 3 words: Hug, Love and Longkang water(drain water)..
Well, of our poems were no where near Shakespeare’s but it was pretty amusing. there wasn’t a winner for everyone had their own way of writing a poem, a few was funny, some corny,and for one or two pieces it was actually quite romantic even after the word ‘longkang water’ was included..=)
Fellowship/ dinner ended at 11pm. The guys surprised us once again. The brought us gifts!!!!!!and wats best? They gave us a sermon CD. about how to choose our life partner..(something we ALL need!) and…and…and… ROSES!!!!!!!...I was actually expecting a box of chocolates or something of that sort, but didn’t not roses.
In short, these guys actually brought a new meaning to Valentine’s Day. Its not only a day to celebrate as couples, romance etc, but it’s a day to celebrate with the ones we love, and our, brothers and sisters in Christ. It wasn’t only fun, it was something we all needed: being loved, being cared for, and also to love and to care…God Bless
WOW! Is all that can be said to express how I feel about Xmas Bash 08. It was such a privilege to witness the hard work, effort, and sweat poured out by everyone in Jesus Embassy leading up to Christmas Bash 2008 El Amore MAs Grande!. As it turned out, the event was indeed a night to remember. God’s love was shared with a crowd of more than 300 people on the 27th of December.
It wasn't long before the hall was filled with people, everyone looked Amazing. Many of our guests weren’t first timers and they have been looking forward to this annual event since the invitations were out week’s ago. There were at least 15 nations represented, It was the most diverse we had thus far. Guests from Russia, Malaysia, China, India, Ghana, Kenya, Congo, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq, Mauritius, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Vietnam and even Kazakhstan participated in this year’s Xmas bash. It is simply mind blowing to see so many nations of the world gathering together.
The night started with a introductory video clip of our previous Christmas Bashes followed by carols. This year’s carols though was rather unique as it started off with a rap of the song “Joy To The World” which ushered in the entire choir and before long the whole crowd started to sing. An exuberant atmosphere permeated the air throughout the night. There were live band performances from our own band AO1 (Audience Of One) and a Christian Russian rock 'AkEa'. The students were all hyped up as they jumped and sang along to the band was. We were then entertained by a traditional African dance and also a hilarious drama about how a South African family celebrates Christmas, which was wonderfully presented by the "The Impressions of God" drama team. We also had dance battle where we saw two team “battle it out” with amazing hip-hop and break dance moves that got everyone on edge . Our Poly tech students presented a musical mime based on Psalm 3 that God is a shield for us and in Him we stand strong. The girls did a dance to the song "Worthy is the Lamb" and people were just touched by the message of Jesus Christ that was shown. In the end our youth pastor came up and shared the message of How Jesus came on Christmas day to die for us and through Him we have salvation and eternal life.
The Mr and Ms Christmas award which we started last year seemed to have become a tradition. During the event itself, our organizers had secretly picked out a few nominees, these charming few were later required to dance, sing and even act out a marriage proposal to win the crowd over.
As it is for every Jesus Embassy event, food is always a highlight. This year we had an Asian fusion of Chinese and Indian cuisine. By God’s grace the food turned out well and was more than sufficient that People could even come back for second helpings and yet the food didn't run out. All the Glory to God!
One can only stand in wonder as we see how the events unfold especially when we started off with nothing. God provided the Funds, the man power and everything just fell in place even though there were some minor glitches. Indeed all praise and glory goes to You, Abba father, God of heaven and the earth
Ps. Kudos to all in Jesus Embassy, it is an honor working alongside with you guys and your dedication is indeed a great encouragement
