What Christmas is all about.

"Christmas gift suggestions: 
To your enemy, forgiveness. 
To an opponent, tolerance.
To every child, a good example. 
To yourself, respect.”
And It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas” . . .




Have you ever wondered about the origins of Christmas, though? Where and when was it first celebrated? Was it Jesus himself who asked his followers to remember His birthday? The facts might surprise you.

"It's called Christmas, not Santamas."
Hey, it's me. Just feel like writting this thoughts down before I go to bed tonight. So, what's Christmas to you? 
Everyone mostly celebrate Christmas,
even if you're not a Christian – you can't help being affected by Christmas.




Who can avoid admiring the beautiful lit up streets and buildings? 
The gigantic Christmas trees in shopping malls with their colourful decorations. The sounds of modern artistes giving their best renditions of ancient Christmas songs.

Many doesn't know Christmas isn't about Santa Claus or whatever but IT'S ABOUT JESUS. The modern world's version of Christmas does just that and consequently for the greater part of humanity, Christmas has no legitimate meaning at all.



CHRISTIANS SHOULD TELL THEIR CHILDREN THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS AND EASTER: That we celebrate the earthly birth and death of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Replacing this truth with myths that strange men will visit them down a chimney and rabbits will get into the house to leave chocolate eggs is replacing the greatest story ever told with non-Christian nonsense.

In fact, it is nice to give and receive gifts. And let us not forget that God gave the world a more wonderful gift than we could ever give: salvation to all who confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and who believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead.



The truth about Jesus Christ is exciting, wonderful, and true. Do you really want to downplay God's miracles by replacing them with a cartoon figure actually comes to their house at night and brings them gifts on a flying sleigh with flying reindeer?
After all, you probably punish your child if they lie to you, so why would you expect them to grow up truthful if you are not setting a good example yourself?
Christ is, and must always be, the reason we celebrate Christmas and Easter.

A quiet life without a flame.

I want to make a lot of money and then tell people that money isn't the most  important thing in life. People dream of having a perfect relationship, a friendship and life. But I dream of only one moment when my parents look at me proudly and say, "That's my daughter!" I HAVE MOVE INTO THE NEW HOUSE. YAY. Aelfred is officially 2 years old. YAY So far, baby Aelfred is sleeping better at the new house. *finger cross* So what is up in 2024 so far? MAID. I had three maids this year come and go you see. The first one, was upset because she doesn't like maid-jobscope and especially have to stay home all the time. She told me that she prefers part-time cleaning on certain days. But honestly, through the time she was with me, she is indeed good at cleaning and taking care of Aelfred but of course, why force someone to do something she doesn't like. so I let her go. The second one needed to improve at cleaning, was lazy and insist on doing things her way. She is on her...

How was dentistry in Malaysia?

LIFE is a balance of holding on AND letting go. Hello, it is me. Summarizing how the dentistry course was for me. It's a total FIVE years course, in Malaysia. It cost RM350,000 plus-minus. Do I ever regret it? NOPE. Before I begin, disclaimer; I read one similar blog entry right before I joined DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery), and back then it was really helpful to get a glimpse of what a dentistry course is about. 1 million dollar question: WHY DDS? " I believe that through this profession, I can make a real difference, one smile at a time."   My university experiences thus far have been amazing. I have learned and experienced so many new things in such a short period, and it has gone by so fast.  YEAR 1 It was September intake 2014. I remember that I did try to attend the orientation week. You know, that moment you are supposed to get to know your classmates. But stepping into this new city, I thought I should not be too friendly. But little did I k...

They came disguised as men, travelers along the road. Two of them went down to Sodom and Gomorrah, to observe first hand the wickedness in those cities. The other visitor, who was the LORD, stayed behind. He revealed to Abraham that he was going to destroy the cities because of the evil ways of their people. Abraham, a special friend of the Lord, began to bargain with God to spare the cities if there were righteous people in them.   First, Abraham asked if the Lord would spare the cities if 50 righteou...
