So here I am. Blogging at 3.40 a.m. on the 28th of Decembeer. I guess now's a good time more than any other to do my end-of-year post since I'll probably be swamped for the next 3 days. Then it'll be the first of January already.
And it's incredible how time flies. How all the friendships forged in less than a year could mean so much in such little time. That's really amazing.
525, 600 minutes
525, 600 moments so dear
525, 600 minutes
How do you measure
Measure a year
In daylights
In sunsets
In midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches
In miles
In laughter
In strife
And I am grateful for many things in my life, especially the people that God has placed in my life. And I'm really, really glad I came to SA and not to AC, not because I don't like the school, but because God would not have been able to do this much in my life. People.
Cinthia, Nick: I know that I haven't been the best cell group member, and that the both of you have been trying really hard to get things going in the cell, and that instead of helping I've been more of a hindrance. However, I now can see that what the both of you did was out of love and a desire to do more for God, and really, even if you do not see the rewards coming in in this lifetime, there will be a greater reward in heaven which nothing on earth can be compared to. Remember this everytime you call out stubborn members in the cell who don't seem to want to associate with you, that God sees and God knows.
Wei Chiang: Whom I've known since the first day of school in O1, and who has changed many of my bigoted, prideful feelings about many things without even knowing he did so. And who I consider my closest friend in JC who I can tell almost anything. And you probably won't read this, but if you happen to, I am keeping you in prayers and that if you need anything, really, I'm just a phonecall/msg away.
The Priscillas! (Samuel, Su, Tan, Khiu): Samuel, whom I knew first in our PAE class, who later became the one to spoil the surprise to which JC I got into for JAE (big surprise, getting into SA, but still!) and whom I really respect and look up to as a spiritual sister, and whom I can talk to about a lot of things (and have!). Su, the girl from PAE's KI, I still remember the talks we had after LTC and stuff like that, and I pray you know what you are doing with your life and that God will continue to lead you. Tan, the self-sacrificial girl who is like best friend to everyone, and who is really strong in God, but doesn't know how to take care of herself :D and how she helped me a lot, and even the fun times preparing for WC's birthday present where we exhausted our brain juices thinking of creative things to write :D:D:D Khiu, whom I only started talking to recently about many things, and who I think is the one person who really knows how I feel. Cos sometimes, that's enough comfort.
Council: I never thought I'd be as close to people in Council as I am currently with some of them, and I really thank God for it, because it's really cool to see how some people can care so much for a group of people. [Ryan, I owe you that talk, I know. Soon, if the time is right.:D] And the crazy times spent laughing over annoying, inane songs ["It's Britney, bitch... ... Gimme gimme more gimme more" and recently, "No one, no one, no o-o-one"], making fun of anything that ends with "a" - chomawi, the Kingdom Heads turning the script into a rap then a musical [Vivian's 'Tribal Chefs'!], the frustrating times arguing over choreography while doing the Teacher's Day Dance AND the Orientation Mass Dances, the long almost-pointless meetings of Functions when we were doing the Teacher's Day planning and many other crazy stuff. But behind the crazy stuff everyone really cares for one another, and that is something I never expected would happen. And that's really cool.
Of course there're more people that have impacted me in different ways, but these are people that actually have helped me through those moping periods, and once again, I am glad for them.
And, of course God. He has made me understand so much this year. And I've really learnt to lean on Him for strength and help. I know that there's still a long way to go, but everything will be made perfect in His time. And this was a good Christmas, because of Him.
What can I give?
What can I bring?
What is a gift that is fit for a King?
I give my heart
Not just a part
I give my whole to Him; I give my life
Reflections. This blog has started off on a really high note, then gradually dropped into a self-reflecting outlet. People change. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. At least God stays constant. Because really, if it weren't for His love, I would've given up faith, given up loving a long time ago. Because sometimes, when you cannot see the end ahead, and you don't even know if there's going to be an end, loving can just wipe you emotionally. But to continue trusting and believing and praying and loving - because that's what God did, that's what God is doing, and this is what God will continue to do.
Glory to God in the Highest, forever and ever... ...

Matin: From having a great start, to a rocky middle, then a great end; thanks for that talk the other night, and I'm really really glad we cleared all that crap up, and thanks for trusting me enough to tell me those stuff.
