Chinese New Year came and went by just like that. Still, I appreciate the nice break that I had over the past few days. It's not really tiring this year, at a more relaxed pace. But I had been thinking quite a bit over the past few days.

I think I'm aging. ha ha ha. As I look at my cousins/nieces/nephews growing bigger every year, I feel that I'm really getting much older. And somehow, the aging process seems to speed up every year. Ha ha ha.

And I think being in love with someone doesn't involve just the two of them, but both their families and relatives as well. Met up with Joyce's relatives over the holidays, seems to be quite intimidating, considering the number of ppl there is!! ha ha. But they are a pretty close-knit family! Glad to have the chance to meet them, yup!

I think our lives are really shaped by goals and visions that we set each year. Either that, it's living up to the expectations of others. Seems like if you don't do it, others will do it for you. So why not planned out your life, under the guidance of God! I dislike living up to what people think I am, what they feel that I should be, maybe that's why i'm thought of as being rebellious by some. haha. Still, sometimes, it's hard to live up even to your own expectations when you know you cant reach it. People thinks that I'm confident in things that I do, in the way I portray myself, but there are situations and occasions, and I do think so as well, but yet, there are times when I feel that I'm not. That's why, we need to manage our expectations! Not only with others, but most importantly about myself. I'm learning how to do it right this year...

Time to head for a bit more rest before school! It's 618am now!! :)

Wanted to blog, but my mind is blocked. Brain block-ed, mind-blocked, whatever you call it.

Anyway, as the title suggests, I learnt about honoring people today! I think it will be a nice book to read. And seriously, I think I really like Rev John Bevere's preaching! He speaks real fast but you can easily catch what he's saying coz he articulates his words well. He's handsome and of course, he's intellectual! Just like Dr A.R. Bernard, the super intellectual kind. Yea!

I need to learn to honor the people around me, even those who dishonors me. It's always easier said than done, but I will do my best, and of course, I'm gonna need lots of God's grace.

I've been a bit critical of certain things recently and I wonder what's wrong. Am I expecting a higher standard from people around me? Am I helping these people to improve through my expectations or maybe I should measure my expectations, because it's too much to expect? Maybe they are young? Hmmm, but then again, I started serving God when I was 16. There are so many basic things that seems to have been taken for granted nowadays. Hmmm, somehow I don't understand. I need God's wisdom in this, and really, I think we need to pray. Prayer moves mountains. Pst Cho built his church through prayer. I suppose our key to build up this team is through prayer. I know it can be done. It takes time, but I will honor them, for their faithfulness. For availing themselves. For just being there. Honor your peers, Honor your littles ones.

School's started. I'm still pretty much in the holiday mood. It's week one. 14 more weeks to holidays, 33 more school days! sounds pretty short yea? But SOT starts on e 31st! I haven register yet, i better get my forms soon! haa. I was talking to Joyce, think this batch will be one of the biggest batch of SOT, coz its after AC 2008. Think there will be many foreign delegates who wants to come and be equipped! It's so exciting!

I haven really formally wrote down my goals for the year. Just a lot of thoughts running all over my mind. Haven sat down to pen them down yet. But i'm excited, it's going to be my best year yet! Greater things have yet to be done!

Oh ya, my motto for the year 2009 - Be the BEST that I can be! In the midst of the many things to handle, the responsibilities - son, bf, VL, ops ic, svc ic, lay zs etc, I want to exceed and excel! I may not be the best choice, but I will give my best! You CAN too!

You're the best! Feel free to call me if you need any help! I will go up the mountains, go down into the oil pot just for you! haaaaa.. (direct translation - muaaahhhhaaaaaa)
