Yesterday was *almost* perfect!!

The morning started out with a rain. So me and my sister decided to make some hot chocolate ^^
Accompanied by Indonesia's most famous comfort food --> indomie :p

Then we went to some places to run some errands.
First, we went to Ace Hardware store to buy some gifts. The store was beautiful!!! Christmas decoration filled the entrance, and the energy was just AMAZING. They have everything from gifts, plate sets, decorations, even a HUGE white Christmas tree ^^
Gotta love Ace hardware on Christmases.

Then we went to the bakery/gift shop to pick up some more things. We've been going to this bakery since me and my sister were so little; and the employees there never changed. So we recognized each other, and it was always fun to be there.

I stopped by the grocery store to pick up a few things, and then went back home and had lunch.

After lunch, I turned the kitchen into one messy factory. I BAKED! I made candy cane cookies
I saw this recipe on Laura Vitale's youtube channel, and fell in love with it. And because we're on the right season, I figured, why not try to make them.

They originally supposed to be red-and-white, but I couldn't find red food coloring, so I used an orange coloring-extract instead with some orange zest for extra freshness. They came out odd shaped (HA! I didn't have the patience to shape the cookies properly), but the taste was mighty fine ^^


I brought these cookies to church for some friends to try (Because I made a whole batch and they yielded so many cookies) and they loved 'em too!

Yes, I went to church yesterday, for Christmas rehearsal!
Yay!
Still need to rehearse a lot though. It's going to be a very simple service, that's why every single thing must be perfect!

But first!
Youth's Christmas is coming up, and today we had our last meeting before rehearsals and the actual Christmas. Scary, yet, thrilling. So very thrilling.
Praying that a lot of people are going to show up, AND to enjoy the event. Praying that God will touch them, and meet them face to face during these times. And hopefully the goal of our event will be met! ^^


It's going to be a FUN day,
but even before that, I got a long night ahead of me (long = 45 mins of sleepy eyes).
I'm waiting to buy Koala Kumal at (preferably) 12:00am 'tomorrow' !!
Let's see and hope for the best!



Nighty-nite y'all!
Have a loverly week ahead :)

CHEERS!!!
