Christmas In Our Heart - Jose Mari Chan

Whenever I see girls and boys
Selling lanterns in the streets
I remember the Child
In the manger as He sleeps

Whenever there are people
Giving gifts exchanging cards
I believe that Christmas
Is truly in their hearts

Let's light our christmas trees
For a bright tomorrow
Where nations are at peace
And all are one in God.

CHORUS:
Let's sing 'Merry Christmas
And a happy holiday'
This season, may we never forget
The love we have for Jesus

Let Him be the One to guide us
As another new year stars
And may the spirit of christmas
Be always in our hearts

In every prayer and every song
The community unites
Celebrating the birth
Of our Saviour Jesus Christ

Let love, like that starlight
On that first Christmas morn
Lead us back to the manger
Where Christ the Child was born

So come let us rejoice
Come and sing the Christmas carol
With one big joyful voice
Proclaim the name of the Lord.

Klub Bung@ & J@tim P@Rk

I remember a year ago when I came to Klub Bunga & Jatim Park, Batu-Malang for vacation. It was after Christmas in 2007, about 5 hours from Solo by car. We used 2 car at that time (you’ll know why I tell you this). Klub Bunga is a hotel which we spent 3 days and 2 nights there. If you want to read some books you will able to read available books at library in the air conditioner room. Clean and Quiet. Klub Bunga gave us free coupon for breakfast, lunch and dinner, free coupon for ice cream, discount 50% for Jatim Park ticket and free coupon for water massage. The place where people got the ice cream is so unique; they also sell some potteries there and decorate them minimalist. Klub Bunga has a special link to Jatim Park (a recreation place besides Klub Bunga). Jatim Park, as I told before, is a recreation place that has temple miniature, animal area, swimming pool, etc. Some part is like Taman Safari Indonesia and some part is like Dunia Fantasi. We’re really enjoyed our vacation there until the second day we watched television which said flood everywhere, including in Solo. Not only flood but also slide of hills! It’s time for us to go home in the day after. On the way home, exactly near Madiun, we couldn’t pass the road because of flood! And it was almost night. So we stopped for our dinner and started to think and decide the best solution in a situation like that. We’re afraid because we had a little girl and we had a tight schedule because the day after my cousin will be married! And we had to wait until the flood was over, don’t know when. The worst, tire of my father’s car was flat! So for emergency action, my brother gave his back up tire to replace my father’s (you know what, it’s not the same car type!) Thanks God, it was work! Finally we decided to look for a hotel near there to stay. After hours we looked for through rainy day, we found a hotel in Madiun which very cheap rate: only Rp 90.000,- per room. You must imagine that it’s a small, dirty and bad hotel. You’re wrong; it’s not too small and clean. After we’d spent a night there it’s time for us to continue our way home. We listened to radio and asked the police about alternative way to Solo. We must follow the alternative way which was more far than normal way. Fortunately we could be at home safe and could attend my cousin’s wedding just a little time after we came home. It’s the most adventure journey that I’ve ever had. For the first time, I should say thank you to the police :)

Christmas Decoration

Is it too early to talk about Christmas? I don't think so, because it's early December when we will see christmas decorations everywhere : at mall, at recreation place, or even at our home. We also will hear christmas song everywhere. Yes, people are busy to prepare all of this to make it all perfect. Each mall has a unique and different christmas decorations, christmas tree and all of its stuff. Now I will post some pictures to describe all I told about in above although it's not an updated christmas decoration yet. I'll be back to post some pictures about Christmas of this year soon.
Christmas also means that I'll be home to celebrate it together with my family; also to celebrate my niece's birthday. She's so exciting and can't wait till the day comes :)
