Flash report of 2008
Well, this year has been quite a year. I’ve definitely learnt new things. And if I were to choose ONE word to describe it, “drama” would fit it best.
Let’s see…
I welcomed the new year by spending it with my family. Started with a change in church. My cell group was allocated to shift back to Jurong West. Suat Ying left us to join Luke in his cell group and Samantha joined us in our cell group. I started with my ACCA studies. And I had the most serious quarrel/argument with my parents that made things quite bad.
Then, it was the once every four years leap year. And a loss in the family of a close family friend.
Following that, it was Chinese New Year. This year we met our relatives for almost everyday in the first 5 days? Taking turns to head to each others’ places. Quite funny. Also, my close cousin headed back here to have her customary wedding for her side of the family. Before that she already had one in UK.
For the month of April, it was the month that my favorite idol drama had their last episode!! Haha. If you realized, I’m typing each paragraph in ascending month order.
I welcomed May by having my 21st birthday celebration! I left my first company since graduation for another one in Cityhall area. But after 2 weeks, I resigned due to a miscommunication and was unemployed till July. David Cook won the American Idol! I started getting ready for my 1st round of exams. There was the major earthquake that happened in Sichuan taking away thousands of lives.
For June, I took my exams. Attended Azlindah’s engagement and Ivy’s wedding. I also had the first round of morning prayer meetings at jurong west. Made me love praying and conversing with HS so much. Then I headed to Bintan for a short holiday. And I headed over to Jasmine’s place again. It was near her birthday. Being a 21st, we thought it would be nice if she saw us and our gifts but......
Started my current job since July and love it till now. Good working hours, nice people, patient mentors. Peiwen flew over to Auzzie-land to further her studies, min celebrated her 21st.
August started well with the Olympics in Beijing. My uncle and auntie from states came back for a holiday.
Then, the downs came. My results came. I failed the 1st two modules. My cousin’s baby was hospitalized in the ICU due to a brain infection. Initial changes started in the cell group due to a change in leadership. Most were slightly affected but we stayed strong together.
I just kept going down emotionally and was affected slightly spiritually too and decided to start a change by changing a blog site. I closed the former blog of three years for a new one. Having a new add that reminds me to have faith, hope and love. I was rather determined to not slip even more down emotionally. My close friends would have known and felt it. Thank God for them. More natural disasters happening.
On a lighter and happier note, I managed to go to the Singapore grand prix. So exciting. It made me love Formula 1 racing SOOOO much. Started cooking dinners for the family as my mom had a change in her working hours.
Following that, had a birthday celebration with Ying and her family. Her dad treated us to international buffet at Ritz. Had my first time too at Old Town-White Coffee with my family.
Then, for November, Lewis Hamilton was champion for the F1 race 2008! Obama won the presidential elections in the states! We also had the history making Asia Conference 2008!! followed by my preparation of my 2nd round of exams. Oh ya. We also started our Arise and Build fund-raising for our church building!
Finally, for December, I had my 2nd trip up the flyers that is closed now till the new year with my family, a short trip to Batam with the ladies in the family. I had my 1st D&D with my current company and won in the lucky draw rather nice presents. I pampered myself to a new camera(Nikon S60).
Not forgetting throughout the year, it was filled with celebrations of many 21st birthdays. I also went to David Tao’s and Ah*Mei’s concerts! And I really caught A LOT of movies this year.
Drama? haha. i think it is.
But through the year, I stayed really close to friends of the same faith. With them, it wasn’t that tough to move forward with a smile.
Would like to take some time to thank some people whom have really been part of this year’s chapter in life.
In random order! Bear, Peiwen, Min, Ying, Lijia, Michiie, Grace, Suat Ying, Johnny, Joanna, AK, Ah gong, Jing, Joelle, Rebecca & Joyce. Of course there were others who cheered the days up as it passed but these are the few primary ones.
These are the main people. I know they make an effort to read my blog rather regularly. They send me sms-es to push me on. I know they love me for who I am and will be there for me when I need them. Like when I’m going crazy and ridiculous, they’ll wake me up my ideas. Haha. Thanks guys! For being my strength when I thought my pillars were collapsing. I thank God truly for all you precious darlings.
It’s really been quite a year but I look forward to the coming year. Even if it means I may have more things to learn. In this way, I gain wisdom. :)
If I were to choose a song, I thought this is a rather appropriate song. I recently bought his album. He’s from the backstreet boys in case you don’t know. It was actually released in 2006 but back then, the purchasing power wasn’t that high so I resisted buying. But now, in this festive season, what can I say? I love me. A bit of pampering won’t kill. Haha! :P
Brian Littrell - You Keep Giving Me
So many reasons to be thankful
So many blessings that I can't repay
And I never would've made it here without You
Sending angels to guide me on my way
You keep givin' me joy
You keep givin' me happiness
You keep givin' me hope
You keep givin' me everything I wish
You keep givin' holding me
When I'm about to fall
And if even all of that was not enough
You keep givin' me love
(You're givin', You're givin' me love)
I know that I'm not always easy
And I know I put You through some trying days
But in spite of all the worries that I gave You
No, You never let my Angels get away
You keep givin' me joy
You keep givin' me happiness
You keep givin' me hope
You keep givin' me everything I wish
You keep givin' holding me
When I'm about to fall
And if even all of that was not enough
You keep givin' me love
Have I told You lately (have I told ya)
How Your love has saved me
It takes me to place I've only dreamed
I'm so thankful, Lord, for sending me angels
You keep givin' me joy
You keep givin' me happiness
You keep givin' me hope
You keep givin' me everything I wish
You keep givin' holding me
When I'm about to fall
And if even all of that was not enough
X2
You send angels to guide me from up above
You just keep gvin' me
You just keep givin' me love
You're givin' me, givin' me, givin' me...
How can I thank you?
How can I thank you, Lord?
You're the
One who's blessed me with everything
You keep givin' love...
You keep givin' me... givin' me love
You! You! You! Givin' me, givin' me
You're givin' me, givin' me, givini' me...
My everything
You keep givin' me love
God bless! ^-^
Cheerios to 2009!
