It suddenly dawned upon me that i didn't pen-down any reflections for 2008, which is unforgivable, because there've been far too many happenings to be left unsaid, really.
And so before i've officially move onto the year 2009, and start a new chapter anew ( yes i know im wayyyyy too slow, & it's alrdy d 8th day into 2009)! Nonetheless, do hear me out in what i have to say alrights? b'cuz i realised that i didn't go for any thanksgiving sessions in churchcamps/what nots, and therefore, i never really had a chance to really sit down and ponder about what i've gone through this year.

So i'd just summarize as best as I can, the things i've learnt/gone through yahs?

Well, to start it off, 2008 hasn't been an extremely great year, but it has been VERY very, happening. Why so? Because in this year,

* i've sat through my mugging sessions for exams with my friends!!( like Jycelyn, Jasmine, Yane, Joshua and proj sessions with 'got money'- You Qian,Jezreel,Wise, Kj etc)
(used to do revisions on my own, which doesn't reli aid, considering my lack of discipline.=ppp)

*and having to muggg till late nights at AMK mac till 4am!! with my kind friend who ends up driving me back home - although its near.LOLx.i've never stayed out to study till this late!

*or even end up shopping at MUSTAFA when we get too bored at our books, at 1am???

*PASSED all my MODS that i took at the exams this year, therefore saving 1k for mummy
and at day's end, feeling fulfilled myself!!

*And also, seeing God's grace on me through my results, that because of the rather decent grades i got(at least better than the previous yr's), that i think i am able to graduate this yr, in 5 months or less!Seriously, ppl who knows me would think that i am undeserving of such gd 'treatment', therefore i say again, not by my effort,but by His grace truly! (:
(i almost cried out in joy,seeing how much God has given me!!)

*worked at NUS Office of Student Affairs at the front-desk,with Serene & Chow Tee & Jycelyn!! ( the first time i actually worked with my FRENS, and not alone in a 'foreign' place) helping mostly NUS students with their housing issues, interacting with foreign exchange students that can be 'oh-so-interesting'! cos they come from ALL OVER the world?hehs!

*Plus, knowing all the beautiful people at OSA, and not forgetting them even till now!! that i so wanna go back 'n' work when im done with my degreee!! ( in 5 mths or < )

*waking at 7.30am the latest n rushing to NUS by 8.30am which i will never fulfill!! and thereafter feeling bad/malu-ed untill when i finally succeeded, that is when ppl sees a miracle?!!hahas.that despite the distance, the first job that i really enjoyed everyday, every moment there.really. (:

*and then back to school now,with half the term GONE just in the blink of an eye...

*having parents ever so supportive in whatever i do..or hope to do...

* of cuz,the ups n down times in the church youth which can be reli demoralising, that affected me truckloads then, but im glad that the air is cleared nows. (:

ALL in all, it hasnt been an easy year.In fact, it has been one of the most bumpyy year i've had, ever since 2004... But lookin' back, I'm glad that i've overcomed it, with God being so merciful, always sustaining and adding strength when the going gets tough, walking with us through our toughest time. And throughout all these tribulations of life, He has shown Himself to be faithful,
and what more can i ask for?

The Lord is my provider, my ever present help in times of need!
as cliche as it sounds, i still have to say this, To God be the Glory! (:
