Wrapping up 2010

Don't you agree with me that every year seems to pass by faster than the previous?

2010 showed me new vistas, gave me abundance of love, brought me new lessons.

This year was the year which I started off my university life. At the beginning i was still struggling which course to take and the applications were all messed up. However, im still thankful of God placing me in SIM where I get to know new friends since it is a new environment despite only remembering how i rushed my projects and attempted to skip lectures here and there. I am truly blessed when it comes to results, it is truly by God's grace. Joined the SIM-FCBC group and got to know more people of the same church. they really encouraged me alot during my exams period by sending words of encouragement, which i will never forget.

I would say its also a year of getting out of my comfort zone, trying new stuffs. Managed to get my driving license, tried holding a flea@supperclub, had 2 vietnam trips and in HK and GZ with Cass, and lastly starting a blogshop. There will be much to learn from. and I will be taking one step at a time.

Meanwhile, thankful of people being part of my life :) wunyen, cass, liting, shirley and my family! forms of love shown from them like sisterly love and love from my family as we try to work on relationship together. I would say I enjoyed 2010 filled with best friends, holidays, food and festivals.

As for 2011, i think it would be discovering my own identity For now, i will leave it as unconditional loving, innately forgiving, and seizing each day with zest and spontaneity. Hopefully everything will go well!

PART2

This was the two-in-one birthday celebration for liting and wy. which got me and cass to be exhausted physically, mentally and monetary. haha. NEVER NEVER NEVER are we going to do this anymore. However, if its a picnic where there is ready-made bentos, then maybe im agreeable to it.

But as i look through the pictures, it makes it feel like everything is 'successful' except the rain and the monkeys which disrupted the entire process. despite all these, i do hope wy and liting enjoyed this special arrangement done by both me and cass! :)

PART1

I did realised how long I haven been blogging. I wouldn't say that I have been really busy, but rather didnt make the effort to pen down the details. As for now, I will try :)

'I Love Singapore' Walk (13 Nov 2010)

Thank God for the sunny weather then! It has been quite awhile ever since I moved in to the new cell group. What I'm really thankful about is that the sisters are very friendly and warm. it was a little awkward at times, but as we interact through encounter camp and during sunday services, i get to know them more and more.

I would say its a new environment that I am adapting to, trying hard to be accountable, and making the effort to know them and hopefully by then I would know what i really want and for now, give me time. I guess it is not in my way, but in God's way.

Good Afternoon

really thankful for this two month holidays. a good time to get away from school to rest and catch up with friends. this week has been packed. been meeting up with primary, secondary and uni friends. haven had the chance to meetup with poly friends, but i do hope next week im able to! by midway through the week i was extremely exhausted, because there was tuition alongside with interviews for jobs.

Sunday afternoon at kki cafe

Thursday with secondary school friends

Giving thanks in all circumstances.

Dear Wunyen,

Im sorry that this came late. but, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)

(heeheehee, choose this picture cause everything looks so pretty there!)

I am thankful to God for having you in my life cause you have been a great spiritual sister and a friend to me. Being there for me when im having my exams, keeping me in prayer and hearing my rants in the middle of the night. and always cracking silly and cold jokes with me and cass. brrrrr.

anyways, i do hope you enjoyed your twentieth birthday! (but do look forward for the event that me and cass prepare this coming weeek! wheeehoooooo) Pray that you will continue to stay strong in the Lord, keeping the faith. and as assignments are pouring in this period, focus on God because He is your joy and strength! remember that God is in control of everything. May you be blessed by our Lord as you spend time with him daily. Believe and you will received it!

Love you many many,

Joey

Peace in my Heart

these was what i have been going through for the past week. been writing alot alot of notes, throwing papers and waking up at 7am memorizing notes. if i said it was not stressful, i would be totally lying. It didnt caught to me that uni exams would be that so tough and terrifying until i experienced it myself. no wander the school give us 1 month study break haha.

after i came back from hk, i left with one week to study and once i reached back sg, i panicked. i didnt see it coming. in that one week i was really stressful that i broke down several times. tried calling people so as to calm myself down. but the pressure was still there.

it was then i started seeking and praying to God. i then realised how powerful prayers and the word of God would be. i felt peace in my heart and God allowed me to experience his greatness in a very real way. im thankful for the spiritual family who has been praying for me and been encouraging me through smses. really appreciate that :)

And as of now, exams are over and im upholding everything into God's hands.

"He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it."

1 Thessalonians 5:24

ps cass, i didnt regret going with you to hk. hahaha

and wy, thank you for keeping me in prayers :)
