CF Christmas Party 2011!

At 7.00 p.m. on 16th December 2011, something happened. An amazing event was held, to be precise. It was so awesome, that it was supposed to be in the TIME magazine (but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was taken off ) , it practically shook the Earth, it almost shifted the Earth's axis, it almost killed off Chuck Norris, it almost halt global warming , it had stopped all wars on Earth and it made the act of defying whatever you can possibly think of possible!

Naaaah, none of those stuff could have happened. DJCF Christmas party happened, but hey, it was still awesome!

The party was to start at 7pm but some of us came early to set the place up. Some were decorating the living room with strings of red and blue lights, courtesy of Samantha and some were sprucing up the area, shifting the chairs and well, you get the gist of it.

As the sun sets, darling Cf-ers started arriving with all smiles and of course a present for our Exchange gifts activity.

We placed all our presents under the Christmas tree! =D

This was how it was like before the party. Oh and you see that television? We were using Yi Qian's magical television of wonders to screen the lyrics of Christmas carol songs we were going to sing later that night.

Soon enough, more people started arriving, and everyone was bonding so well, that we didn't even need icebreakers to warm things up! =)

The committee brought lots of foods! Pizza, smores! Oh wow, in fact, we had 2 types of mash potatoes served on our table! One was with raisins and the other with egg. I'll stop naming all the food that was there now, or I'll make you readers really hungry! =) But before we could insert delicious food into our mouths, we started the night with a word of prayer.

MAKAN TIME!

One of the best parts of our Christmas party this year, was that DJCF-ers weren't the only people present at the party; we also had DUCF-ers, Tmn SEA CF-ers and even juniors who aren't even in Form 1 yet! It was such a delight having them join us! Also, like every year, we also had a number of  our beloved ex CF-ers who took their time off to come for this party. It was so heartwarming to see people of different ages and backgrounds bonding with one another all under one roof! =') Truly, we have God to thank for that wonderful night of fellowship!

Then next, came the time for CAROLING led by Alycia, James and Ken Vyn! =)We started off with the song "Silent Night"- indeed, all of us had to keep silent for a moment to focus our attention on God after about 2 hours of fellowshipping with one another. Yi Qian's magical TV of wonders came in very handy for those of us who didn't know the lyrics, until it hung while we were halfway singing. But hey, we didn't let that stop us from singing to God! So we went on singing more carols, such as "Angels We Have Heard On High", "O' Come All Ye Faithful", "O' Holy Night" and "Feliz Navidad".

Alycia also shared something briefly with us during our session of caroling. Her message was basically this;  God gave us the GREATEST GIFT anyone could ever ask for, His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. Sometimes, when we face struggles in life, we may tend to wonder, "How can they say that God gave us the greatest gift, when I'm facing so many problems in my life and not even enjoying this gift? How can they say that God loves me?" Well, here's a reminder to all who ask this question. Remember, that no matter what we go through in life, God still loves us and will NEVER stop loving us- rather, it is we who are often too caught up in our struggles that we tend to miss out on God's endless love for us. Remember this guys, whenever you're facing hard times. =)

We ended our caroling session by going around, shaking everyone's hands/ hugging one another, wishing them 'Merry Christmas' while singing "We wish you a Merry Christmas". All of us also received cute beautifully decorated Christmas cards done by our lovely Cf-ers (special thanks to Isabel and Karina!). THANKIEW!!

After much singing and annoying the neighbors ( naaah, we didn't, well I hope not) we resumed our previous activities, talking and playing games!


I think that all of us were somewhat high that night. Honestly, and no it wasn't drugs. It was something much more addictive than that.

MARSHMALLOWS!!! Courtesy to Naomi who awesomely brought 2 containers of these! =D
Look what it did to this guy. I'm sorry Josh, I had to put this on the blog. =P

Hmmm, looking at my pizza??

I don't trust you with it!

GET AWAAY FROM ME PIZZAAA!!!!


I have no idea what had happened looking at this picture but from my deduction, Timothy ( guy pointing ) is accusing Daniel ( guy who is being pointed ) of eating all the food at the party. No wonder Joshua was so uptight about his pizza! XP

So was the party fun?

YES IT WAS!!!
And that's why you shouldn't miss out on whatever events CF has! =D

A HUGE thanks to Yi Qian's parents for allowing us to use their house for the party, the comm. and everyone who brought food and everyone else who helped to decorate the living room before the party started and cleaning up the place up after. Also, thank you to all who came because the party wouldn't have been as awesome without your presence! And credits to Yu-Jun and Yi Qian for the pics!

Above all and most importantly, thank GOD. For everything. =)

Also, since Christmas is coming up.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
