THE NEW-YEAR POST

hello hello!

man, has it been fast. 2007 just whizzed by like that. i still remembered, very very well, the feelings that i felt at the start of the 2007. the un-certainty of moving into the O level year. the negativity about myself liking joan. the growing distance from God. and of course, hope that 2007 would be better than 2006. and i must say, 2007 did'nt dissappoint me. i learnt to keep faith in whatever i pursued, look on the bright side of things and of course, at many a time, felt the grace of God shining upon me. i grew closer to my family this year, no doubt about that, and for all their faults, i would'nt change them for another one.

only yesterday, i was wishing for the O levels to come quickly and for this year to end. time seemed to crawl then. now, i look back and sorta miss those times in the exam periods. the study periods, piles of pass year exam papers and of course, the night study sessions. it was'nt easy while it lasted, but it was a good sharpening to undergo.

of course, how could i forget God? whether it was for my O level papers, problems in my life or maybe just an Arsenal game which i desparately wanted them to win, He was always there for me. He answered my prayers and really let me feel him in 2007. God gave me everything. down to even the little breezes i wanted to keep me from pespiring as i walked to school. i felt God in my life in 2007.

after reminiscing about the 2007, its time to look forward to 2008. i go into this year with resolutions of course, and they are...

1.) Get into dragon-boating.
2.) Start going to church again.
3.) Practice patience.

above all, i want to feel God in my life again. and this time stronger. if that was answered, my year would be complete.

you don't expect me to finish off a post like this without mentioning joan do you? 2 years of liking a person you often feel inferior to has its perks. like, i learnt a lot of virtues along the way. and, liking joan was the first thing i confided in with my aunt, which of course deepened our relationship to the point where i always ask her for advice on big things now. well, liking joan now is not like the past 2 years. no more frantic thinking of whether what i said was right or being super paranoid. i guess its better to live up to the stuff i write in songs, and just be there. even if we'll be pretty separated from now on, it's ok. let God do his thing, and i'll see how my life unfolds.

to everyone who made a difference in 2007, thank you.
there are too many of you, or else i'd list you guys and girls down. but seriously, thank you for making 2007 a rather good year.

so, as i start 2008, i am filled with hope. a new stage in education awaits me, and i'm looking forward to what God has in store for me. well, like how i end off other posts, till next time!
