Christmas break in a nutshell

So here it is. The long awaited update. *grin* It's been such a blessing to be home for the holidays. And here's my attempt at chronicling what has happened the past three and a half weeks.

What Josh has been doing this Christmas break:

• Catching up with old friends in true Penang fashion over (what else?) ... FOOD. Here's Mace, Jami, Gabes and Noel who is kind of hidden. Yum. Japanese buffet. Mmm.
  
  
• Spending a lot of quality time with my family. Mom and Dad and Caleb and Mama are all doing great. So is Karsimah. And Niki! :) Isn't she the prettiest?
  
  
• Going to the first-ever Planetshakers conference in KL. This was just an amazing time. God rocks my world!
  
  Went down to KL with some people from my youth group. Eunice, Varsha, me, Hui Jen, Gary - in the picture - and Praeme, Ben, and a couple others were there too. I just wish more people could have gone. Just to get a glimpse of what church can be like! woohoo.
  
  I ran into an old friend of mine too, Jolyn. We were classmates since Standard One! It was a real treat to catch up with her... and I'm so encouraged that she is going on strong for the Lord. It was pretty cool too how we met up. She had prayed: Lord, please bring someone I know before I go in there. And then Josh came walking out of the bathroom! :) Talk about divine appointments eh?
  
  
• Seeing Batman, Catwoman and Robin at Sunway Pyramid. Ok, so it wasn't really a highlight. But I have the photos, so I thought what the heck.. :) It was pretty cool though. Heh heh. I'm just a big comic geek at heart I guess. I'd rather watch Spidey navigate the streets of Manhattan than... Catherine Zeta-Jones try to nab Ocean's 11. Well, actually,... Catherine... hmm. :)
  
  
• Yeah, it's been great being home. So many more things that I've been doing, am doing, and am looking forward to doing in the next couple of weeks before I head back to Carleton. But, yer Carleton folk, you guys are on my heart always! :) Miss you all. So, here's a pic from Laurie and Flo's to wrap this update up. Speaking of wrapping things up, I'm 98% done with my Christmas gifts! Woohoo!!! Until the next one, which I promise will be soon... Love you all.
