Finally had some time to rest. Some time for myself to sit back, relax, think and plan for the year ahead. I wrote down my goals. I will do my best to achieve it and I know that God will do the rest!

Anyway, yesterday was the 1st day of 2008. It was a great time spent with the CCH guys. Nice fellowship with the people. We played soccer at Farrer Park Field and we had a guest appearance by YongFu!! haaahaa. so cool to have so many people there. Had lunch together with them after that and 7 of us went shopping together. Hee. I always believed in retail therapy! harhar. so happy that I finally bought some clothes!!!! If not my mum will be nagging at me again. to go buy more clothes for CNY. Bought a shirt and jeans, n a superman t-shirt!! harhar.. i think its enough. satisfied. i just need a new pair of shoes, slippers and maybe get a new pair of glasses. should i try contacts again? harhar.. see how la.. glasses are much easier, especially when i have so little sleep during school term.

anyway, thought about some stuff yesterday. there was an incident that let me pondered for a moment. It reflected the unperfectness of ppl, that's why it is so important to have the grace of God in our lives. No one is perfect and each one of us has an area of weakness. Maybe it's something that people knows, maybe its something that people do not know. But the most important thing is that you know about it, address the issue and make a point not to keep making the mistakes. Something is wrong when you realise that you keep making the same mistakes and refusing to change.

Different people have different ways of relating to people. It's great that each and everyone of us is unique. but it makes it so difficult at times to relate to people. I supposed that's why not everyone is best of friends. That's why if you find someone who can be your close confidante, treasure him or her. I believe that such friendships do not happen by chance. They are God-given angels in your life!

Personally for me, I have friends whom I can share, laugh and have fun. People who understands. And im blessed too, to have so many awesome people all around me. But i have yet to find one whom i can really share. harhar. I have high expectations. maybe too high an expectation. I realise that although i love to share with people, i tend to hold back. wondering on the 'high wall'. if i should just simply share and say all that is on my mind. i think alot. i do. but i try not to think in excess, which is not healthy. harhar.

im happy, for the people around me. I have seen some of them mature and grow up. Now, they are arising. People who are going places and doing more things for God. Going to SOT, some graduated and became a CGL already, while some are being great helpers in their own cg. I will always keep u in my prayers. Jia you ba!

My Vision this year is to Create an Impact! I have so many things to do. So many stuff that requires my attention. But i want to be effective. In all that I do, I want to create an Impact! I was amazed with the rippling effect when i was young. Looking at how a small pebble can create ripples throughout the pond/tub of water. Have you heard of the Butterfly effect? About how a flap of the wings of a butterfly can create a tornado/hurricane at another part of the world. This is what I aim to achieve this year. in the constructive sense. to create an everlasting impact. one of my focus is really to disciple and equip my leaders and helpers this year. its time to arise. together we shall GROW!! to train my kids to be independent, to love and know God on a personal basis. Not by what we teach them about God, but its about them realising who God is really to them.

Moving in a brand new direction this year. God, empower me to do all that You want me to do!
