Early Christmas cheer 2009

11 Dec (Fri) - Christmas came early to Wesley Methodist Church, Melaka at a combined Senior Citizens, Baba Gathering and Methodist Women party.

1. The audience was entertained by Ng Kong Peng's sharing. They were far from bored, judging by the looks on their faces.

3. It's not Malaysia if there is no makan (feasting) at any get-together, be it a sad or happy occasion!

4. The Myanmese in their colourful traditional costumes entertained us with their songs and dance. Although we did not understand a word that they sang, their lively music captivated us. It was proof that music transcends language and culture.

5. Where there's Methodist Women, there's line dancing led by Rosalind Goh (front in black). Without her, most of us would have been lost! I blame it on age for my inability to remember dance sequences. The Myanmese were real sports and joined us in the dances.

Verdict: It was a fun night, with a good message from Kong Peng, good food, good sing-a-long and entertainment, good dancing, good everything...
