reflections of 2009

this is something i've been meaning to do all week! and FINALLY FINALLY i'm doing it. Resolve to not procrastinate next year! ;) And resolve not to be so perfectionistic and just aim for excellence next year. even through house-hunting i realised how hard to please i am. Oh this room is too small... unit is too close to the road, too far away from public transport. it has a room facing the west so will be very hot. wah, so old! so dingy! the toilet has plastic faucets (haha tat was something lien brought my attn to la!)... but anyways yar, i realised that i'm supersupersuper hard to please. so next year. in a few days time. i resolve to not be like that. to apply my forced-phlagmatism onto expectations. just chillax. the world wouldn't stop if things weren't perfect... would it?!

AND next year. i resolve to be true to myself. and also. i resolve to be in the moment. lastly. i resolve not to be too ambitious. just check out my resolutions. jialat. how many did i say la...

anyway :)

that is my year in photos. do you see you in it? :) man twas so hard to choose just 100 photos ;d

cos this year was indeed a good year! :)
finally found a church i could worship and grow in. got involved in many diff ministries and grew in many areas. experienced God under interesting circumstances and as usual, He proves to be faithful to what He says :)

so i worked hard? ok maybe not very hard but I tried to work hard and ended up playing harder ;)

this year I travelled heaps. locally I went up and down the coast countless times! then to Sydney and south aus where I had heapsa fun with pple I love! then there was an amazing time with pals in New Zealand, my virgin experience in the awesome land God must've created for pple to admire his magnificence! :) of course not to forget my real short trip back to my homeland of spore and finally another first in osAka, Japan! ;) yea this year I really did enjoy! BUT my bank account is therefore arid. so no more travels next yr I reckon ;) gonna hafta buckle down and work my ass off. :)

so emm reckon i didn't do to badly in the friendship dept. made over 70 acquaintances i think and 15 friends that i reckon will stick with me hopefully for life but at least the next 5-10 years? hAhaha God-willing of coUrse :) plus all my sistars remain and my pals too so i feel absolutely blessed! so blessed! :)

this year also marked a new addition to the SOH family! my lil niece evAngeline :) who deserves a para all for her cutesy self! :) 've not met her in person BUT love her already :) eeee, lil babygirl :)

mmm... today was also my last day at work. made some staff cry and some patients too. really quite odd cos i just changed facilities not too long ago so i've only known these pple for wat 5 mths? but yea. it's amazing how quickly bonds grow. hah. :) one old lady told me today,"i will always remember you as... young and competent. cos tats what u are" haha another was like "they'll have to work really hard to find someone tats half as good as you. and i don't mean just workwise" aah. my lovely patients. so blessed i am. so blessed!

like one of my stars in UK said. it's been 10 years since sec 4. high school. OMG. a whole decade. i never imagined what i'd be like at 25. much less dream that i'd be where i am doing wat i'm doing, seeing half of what i've seen or knowing a quart of what i know. hah. indeed looking back i can see God's fingerprints all over my life. and yea, i'm looking forward to spending the resta eternity with the one i love.

so next year.
choose the one who loves you most. i have, will you?
