Christmas at home

I must say that the Christmas this year has been a wonderful one. Plenty of good things and surprises came along this Christmas that went beyond my imagination.

The best Christmas gift i received year is not of my own. It's a borrowed digital camcorder. Last two weeks, i was struggling over a digital camcorder which failed to transfer a mini DV tape into my laptop. i was totally frustrated because i could not have all the data in DV tapes. Few CDs that i have were scratched badly and could not be used. i lost my hope in transfering the datas i must say, because my mind has already turned to how to use those data that i presently have, to make the best of them. It was until Christmas Eve that i asked my mum if my cousin has a digital camcorder. i didn't know what made me asked that question. I unexpectedly had determination to give it another try. It turned out very precisely on the Christmas night when i asked my cousin if she has a digital camcorder. She nodded and was willing to borrow me. That night, i was succeeded in transfering my mini DV tapes into my laptop. i was so excited. The feeling then was phenomenal!! I said it's the best gift for me because to some extent, it's a miracle by Him, or a voice within me that gives me a new hope.

My second Christmas gift was a pair of silver ear stud given by my cousins - Pauline ah jia, Irene ah jia and Siaw Ling ah jia. i wasn't expecting them to give me anything because i am a little too big (refusing to say 'old') to receive any present liao. But, they still gave me a beautiful present. What's more surprising was that they had me worn it. Aaaaaaarrrrrrr~~~

My third Christmas gift was a pair of glasses given by mum. Indeed, my previous glasses has broken. Its left 'leg' has broken into two, recently broken another. So, all together made 3 separate 'leg's. Now i have a new fashionable glasses which i will precious for another 3 years maybe, before my head gets any bigger.

My fourth Christmas gift was a trip to KK sponsored by my cousin - Siaw Ling ah jia. Truly, this sister of mine brought me around KK and Gunung Kinabalu on an old Pajero. We stayed overnight at Perkasa Hotel, the highest hotel in Kundasang because it is situated exactly on the mountain. The cloud was below us at night and in the morning. Cool~ We went for seafood makan, which cost us double digits. Wow~ I think the highlight for me in KK is to spend quality time at her work place and at Tanjung Aru, watching beautiful sunset.

My fifth Christmas gift was a special one. It is a unique present that is beyond material objects. It soothes my heart and gives me peace. It's a present by Santa Claus. Asked if i am excited o not? of course i am. It's St.Nicholas, the person to which the story of Santa Claus begins, who gives Nicholas Ling a gift wo. Of course this must be one precious one. What is important is not just to find out who writes it in which i've known of. instead, keeping it dearly in my heart and reminding myself everyday of these words r more important. Thank u Biribiri.

This Christmas has been a phenomenal one, an awesome one. Never have i known that i am a lucky person or man. Therefore, this year Christmas, i have learned something new which is to thank those who have done wonderful deeds and change in my life. Even to those who have not, i thank them for being present in my life. I have come to a realization that now i am no longer a 'take' or 'receive' person, i am now a man who must learn how to 'give' and 'share' and 'serve'.
