Boxing day

It was boxing day yesterday and believe me, shopping was great! Most places had really good bargains but sadly, they aren't items on my to-buy list.

So, after walking around and comparing prices for 4 hours along Queen St, i manage to get everything on my list as well as a few deals i couldn't resist.
1) Skinnies from JayJays for nzd50
2) Sewing kit from $3 for nzd 3.40
3) Purse from Strandbags for nzd14
4) Raspberry body wash from Body Shop for nzd10
5) Cardigan from Valley Girl for nzd8
6) 3/4 pants from Valley Girl for nzd10

So with all that, Boxing Day shopping & Project Spend Less Than nzd100 on Boxing Day is completed! =)

Merry Christmas

Yes, its Christmas again! Gosh, how i wish i was back at home this year. But then again, spending Christmas here in Auckland Isnt bad either. Many people are not around - most have gone back to Malaysia for the summer break and some left Auckland to travel to places.

But that's ok. I still have some friends and family that i can spend Christmas with this year.
The plan for this Christmas is to eat and shop and enjoy the summer Christmas. Imagine Christmas on a beach. Wah, syok syok =)

But also not forgetting that Christmas is actually a celebration of the wonderful gift from God to mankind, which is sending His only Son so that he can die on the cross for all our sins and that we then can have a wonderful relationship with God through Jesus.

God didnt send Jesus to die for the Christians alone but he send His Son to the world because He loves the world. So, Jesus didnt only die for me, a Christian, but he also died for every single person on the planet.

Therefore, Christmas is a a time or a season or celebration that should be enjoyed by all, Christians and non-Christians alike. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR!

For God so loved the WORLD that He gave His only SON, and whoever BELIEVES in Him shall not perish but have ETERNAL LIFE (John 3:16)
