had a gr8 time carolling yesterday at SGH, TTSH, SLH and Ren Ci... was on my feet from 730-8... never been to so many wards in a day. feet ache so bad! was surprised cos i thot i was used to it... well well... dat's called aging i guess! haha...

anyway, was fun seeing the students singing... dey were not bad considering 2 days of practise... was with them on tues while dey practised... dey actually sang fr 10-6pm...! man... such dedication...!

n, we all looked so cute in our santa caps... really helped make us look e part. was glad we went to get e caps fr concourse after tues pract.

i'll never b able to sing "Christmas isn't Christmas" d same way again... i m so used to performing in shopping centres, churches n streets during christmas... first time going to hospitals (tho technically i did not perform). the response is different... cos we were not performing in the midst of 'festivity' but pain n suffering... seeing the patients bursting into tears as dey sang was kinda disconcerting. christmas isn't christmas for so so many... we can easily "pretend" dat d people in shopping centres, n on streets are... but it's so much harder to do so in the wards.

had a good time interacting with the patients. shan't tok much on dis... must b careful wat we blog these days...

Jesus brings warmth like a winter fire
a light like a candle's glow
He's waiting now to come inside as He did so long ago
Jesue brings gifts of truth and life
and makes them bloom and grow
so welcome Him with a song of joy
and when He comes you'll know
that
Christmas isn't christmas

till it happens in your heart
somewhere deep inside you
is where christmas really starts

so give your heart to Jesus
you'll discover when you do
that christmas's really christmas for you
