Reflection

Ok, so I'm back after a two month- long hiatus. I think all you holiday go-ers can totally relate when I say that although I'm glad to be back, I'm bummed that I couldn't stay longer.

In the two months that I was back in my homeland, here're some things I learned:

1. The political situation has deteriorated all the way down the drain and has been flushed out into the sea.


2. The whole 3 races living in harmony under in the same country is at large, overrated but on some small scale is still existent so there's still hope.


3. I'd never have alcohol at the clubs/bars/pubs (unless I'm in Langkawi or some kind sould decides to shout me some) because they're so flippin' expensive and I'm not prepared to shell out 20 bucks for a rum and coke...again!


4. I miss the theatre and I'm such a beach bum!


5. True mates are those with who you can instantaneously pick up where you left almost three years ago.


6. It's as amazing as it is scary to realize people whom you thought you knew so well are not the same and you have to spend time rediscovering them all over again...and THAT's the amazing part.


7. Singing in a band is one of the best feelings ever, eventhough it's not my own band.


8. I've missed Char Kwey Teow and Dim Sum.


9. God is ever faithful even though I constantly find myself screwing up.


10. I am LOVED!

And as I look back at the good times I've had these months, I realize that I have much to be thankful for, despite the fact that my life is not perfect. God is awesome because He saw me through my weakest of moments.

2007 took off slowly but once it went full throtle, it was nothing short of wonderful! I had quite a few firsts and lasts too so those were some good and not so good times to remember the year by. I'm glad my year ended the way it did.

And I certainly started off 2008 with a bang and I'm still on a high from all that energy and buzz! I reckon 2008 is going to be blast and a challenge to cope with at the same time but with God by my side guiding me, I think I'm gonna be alright =)

Dear God, I' commiting this year into your hands. Do with me as You will but I wish You'd let me know what it is that You have plans because You always have a way of throwing the randomest of things at me...a wee l'il heads-up every now and then would be nice. I know I can be quite stuborn at times but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to listen. I pray You'd help me because I sometimes struggle to obey You wholeheartedly. I pray for my mates too; may you keep them safe and guide their hearts to do right by You. I love you and I thank You for everything that you've blessed me with. Amen.
