Bye 07, Hi 08
Hi People!
Been a v v long time since I blogged and I am so sorry bout it...I would want to get back into the habit of blogging daily or at least a few times a week if I could in 2008. As today is the last day of '07, I look back on the year and I can't help but to feel how blessed I truly am throughout the entire year. Sometimes, God blesses you with BIG and small things daily but I am sure you would agree with me that most of us remember only the BIG things; the fireworks-type of blessings; for all to see and applaud isn't it?.
However, the small things count too!. Before I go any further, I would like to thank God for the following people and events that happened in 2007:
1) Getting attached with my dearie darling Lydia!. Being with you is a DREAM come true. Really. It would not be exaggerating to say that you've brought colour into my life!. Most importantly, I would never forget the times when we pray and seek Him for a confirmation prior to entering this r/s!. In 2008, I want to love you even more; not just by words or financial provision but through acts of services and actions!. I am really looking forward to doing many things together with you in 2008!..hee..dear dear, thank you so much for the wonderful birthday party that you've planned and thank you for all the gifts that you've bought for me!.
You're self-less, generous, abundant in your blessings and gifts dear! I LOVE YOU!
2) Family Attending Xmas Service together!. As minute this may seem to others, but to be able to attend this year's xmas service together with mummy, my bro, my sisters and dearie is really a prayer coming to past! I am so happy that they enjoyed the xmas drama and I hope that in years to come, we will celebrate xmas together and decorate a xmas tree at home?..shall we?...to all, I would want to say "Thank you very much for coming to the xmas drama and I hope that you've been truly blessed!."
3) New Job with huge pay increment!. From being vision-less to vision-filled takes time and more than that, it takes a prayer answering God to answer prayers!. I remember the times where I would be praying for a perm position with my prev bank and how my confirmation would come in the months to come!. Although, I didn't eventually stay with my prev bank, I am blessed and glad that God is settling me well into my new job thus far!. Although it's a very different business nature and workload, but I believe that if I stick around long enough, there will be things to be learnt and accomplised.
Let this be a stepping stone to something greater for God!!!
4) Planning for marriage/New Flat Application/Saving up! All the above 3 items would not be possible if not for God's provision. Really. In the past, I wouldn't even dare to think about these things because I know it would be all talk but no action but now, at least there are action going on!. God is really good my friends, because we would never be able to outgive him EVER. Although at times, it seems a lot to give that amt in our hands, but at least, lets remind ourselves that we're sowing into the BEST ground!. Thus, both dearie and myself would want to continue to trust and believe that as we build His house, He will indeed build ours!. Near to the city, centrally located; how much more awesome can it get? :).
May 2008 be a year of true financial abundance!!!
The year 2007 just passed back so quickly, especially after June!. And there are things that I would want to better handle in the coming year; so in short; let me just list them out ONE by ONE!..hahahaha...
1) Planning each anniversary and birthday for dearie with exquisite effort!
2) Consistently serving in choir and attending practices.
3) Jogging 2km every 2 days.
4) Stick to allocated monthly budget for my allowance.
5) Have a healthy lifestyle by 1) cutting down on soft drinks 2) drinking more water 3) eating more fruits.
6) Reduce no of visits to doc for any ailments.
7) Spend more time with my family by dining at home at least 3 times a week.
8) Save up a 5 digit amount for our wedding by EOY.
For me, 2007 has been a year in transition for me in many areas but I am v happy that I am settling in well for my love life and my career thus far!. However, I know that MUCH more needs to be done still in 2008.
HERE I COME '08!!!!...God bless all of you and I love you dear dear and my family! :)
