I had usher duties on Christmas day and woke up quiet early and reaches church 30 minutes earlier. It was almost half full by then when I reached. I was very surprise that the church was fully packed this year till no more seats for the latecomers. In fact, after the service started one hour ago, there are still folks coming in. I guess most of them are definitely not regulars but JB folks who came home and joined their family for the worship. I almost had to stand in the entire service at the back till some of church-goers decided to leave early where I can managed to get a seat at those temporary chairs. hahaha... It was a great experience and glad I served on such a special day.
Meanwhile, I decided to avoid those restaurants that offers special Christmas packages on Christmas eve but charge exorbitantly high, by adding appetisers, desserts and drinks to the usual main meal. Yes, these are really gimmicks by the restaurants to earn some profits and I am not buying into it. Thus, we had a simple Xmas eve dinner at La Pasta in Taman Molek, JB. Its an Italian restaurant but they do have other western food. The prices seems remains the same and good services too.

ReplyDeleteSk - yes , it was great ! Due to that I was an usher, I had to stand and let the visitors sat.
Deleteyeah I also avoid going to popular malls because those places are sure packed with shoppers and holiday goers.. luckily the three malls I went today (for three different purposes) were not packed..
ReplyDeleteSk - jb malls still Ok la...Compared to KL. Eh .did I mentioned about malls here ?
