Reflecting upon 2006
Finally the Internet is up and its in time for me to blog yet another entry before the year ends. Truly 2006 had been an eventful year for me; starting from a career switch which surprised many including myself, many emotional setbacks in which I came out a stronger person. God has also propsered me beyond what I could ever imagine and dream of. Going forward to 2007, I firmly believe in my spirit that it would be the best year ever yet. Although there will be uncertainties in 2007, I will continue to trust in Him that He is not just be my provider but through me, the friends in my life will be blessed too.
I would like to thank the following people who has made an impact in my life in 2006:
Jesus
Thank you for your blood and making the decision to die for all of us on the cross. Without your blood, my sins would never be cleansed. Thank you for giving me back my life.
Iris
Thank you for being not just a leader but a friend to me in 2006.
Kei
Knowing you since 2001 has certaintly changed the way I live my life. You have been a positive influence to me in every facet of my life.
Zhi
Though you are no longer with our cg, just conversing with you in the past have made me realise not just my shortcomings but how to deal and improve on them. Thank you for the insights.
Chris
You symbolise the word 'strength' in flesh. Continue to dig in and shine for Him.
Rachel
Though I only know you for about a few months, but you have been such a awesome character in my life. I have certaintly learnt and absorbed a certain level of maturity through our daily conversations and interactions. Thank you and lets continue to grow this friendship.
June
Though we have never spoke to each other in flesh before, but your blog entries have shown me that nothing is impossible with God. Your daily sharing has impacted me and allowed me to gain an insight into how a godly relationship can be both rocking and yet spiritual. Thank you so very much June. May God bless you and Brandon even more in 07!
Dad and Mum
Thank you so much for your love towards me despite the many many mistakes that I have made in 06. Thank you for showing me the true meaning of unconditional love. Thank you for giving birth to me on 30th Dec.
John, Terry and Sarah
Thank you for putting up with my nonsence and occassional temper at home. Thank you for being
such rocking siblings in your own manners. May 07 be a year of bonding for us at home!
Regin
Thank you so much for your friendship this year. You have brought light and laugther in the darkest period of my life.
Tisha
Thank you so much for the 2.5 years of love. You have certaintly been blessed in '06 both in your career and personal life. Everytime I read your blog and read your sharings, both postive and negative, I never fail to realise that you have grown and mature from a teenager in NYP to a working adult now. I treasure our friendship and would never give it up.
Andreas
Never realised that we have so much in common bro. You live out the word 'patience' and 'trust' in your life. Don't worry because He will bless you with someone that you would never believe that you could settle down with. Looking forward to your wedding day!
Moving forward, I want to make every moment of 07 count not just for myself but for the people around me.
To be a blessing and to be a light in the darkness.
To love and be loved.
To treasure and never let go.
To give and be given.
On the emotional front, I don't wish to remain single in '07. I believe that the lessons that I have learnt in '06 has only made me a more mature person as compared to '05. However having said that, I recognise the different seasons in my life and the good news is I finally know what I am looking for. haha..so am really looking forward to 0 dissapointments in '07.
To walk together into the sunset.
Is such a blessing that I would never expect.
Treasure this relationship I will.
And let it be according to His will.
Hands in hands.
Truly lets build the future with His hands.
I want to say I love you.
Now and forever it will be you.
On the career front, making a switch to the banking industry has make me realise that God do move in mysterious ways. Having making the switch after a strong desire to teach was indeed a daunting move but God is good. Always and will always be. Not alone did I get a pay raise but in terms of professional exposure at my workplace, I have learnt and benefitted a lot in my 5 months of work thus far. Moving forward, I aspire to do more, earn MUCH more and be a positive impact. As I remain faithful in the little things and walk in His will, I know that there is so much more to come in '07.
On the ministry front, '06 hasn't been a year where I was really committed to do my best for choir and cell group and at times, it is at best intermittent. Moving forward in '07, I want to do more for choir, serve with a professional attitude (warmups and vocal techniques) and bring the bros in the cg to a whole new level! After being a Christian for half a decade, loving GOD is no longer about just serving and serving. But its about making a difference in people's lives even when its inconvenient for me. And I admit that I have to get over that "doing things when its convenient for me" mentality.
2 more days to the end of '06 and tommorow is my bday!
Thank you so much for being my friend and if I have hurt you in anyway this year, pls forgive me.
I love you.
