We started off the Christmas mood by visiting the Penang Shan Children's Home in Taman Inderawasih, Prai on 23rd morning. Our CG left Penang at 7.45am and headed towards breakfast with the Prai fellas. We then left for the Home and was welcomed warmly by the 10 kids there. Most of them were Tamil speaking and came from broken homes. We sang songs, told stories, played games and enjoyed the times thouroughly with them. Though most of them (if not all) were not Christians, they knew Christmas was the celebration of Jesus Christ birthday and they knew Jesus was the Saviour and God. The visit ended with the administrator telling us: Thanks for making a difference in the life of this children. WOW!

Later, I went to church as usual and this pastor's story caught my attention the most:

One day, a young pastor was walking with a barber. The barber asked, "If God loves the world so much, why did He allow people to sin, kill others etc etc. The young pastor just kept quiet. later they came upon an unkempt man with very long and messy hair. Then the pastor told the barber "If you are such a good barber, why do you allow this man's hair to be so messy and long?" The barber replied, "Well, i can't help it if they don't come to my shop. My shop is always open and if they would come, I would make sure their hair is clean and neat." Then the pastor replied,"that's exactly how God feels. Don't blame Him for what other people wouldn't accept, His doors are always opened."

Well, this Christmas morning was a lazy one after spending the past 2 days shopping and Queensbay. Decided to made the "Pao" which I used to made during Uni times. M helped making them too while i steam the "Pao". Well, it didn't turned out as nice as Uni times, but it's ok for a start lah... not bad too the taste. Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year!
