As 2014 comes to a close, I would say this year has passed really fast.
There are always ups and downs, but just wanna use this time to reflect.
School is still ongoing, but 5 more months left till I finish my final
paper. I thank God for seeing me through the tough times in school,
getting unexpected results that I don't deserve and it could only come
from God. I really like to thank my school mates for enduring my quirky side in school, I think I might have irritated them at times though. Thank you Denise (best lab partnerrrr), Jiahao, Rachel, Daniaal, Yuguang and also Fateha for the great and funny times in the lab! note to self: must take photo with everybody before last computer lab ends! because jiahao and rachel would be graduating!
Work has been a bout of ups and downs, sometimes by the
principals, sometimes by the company, and God showed me ways of dealing
with these matters properly and calmly. Till this day I still regret
sometimes about leaving NUS. But definitely this current job has given
me more experience and opened my eyes to children and God used this to
teach me patience and to be less temperamental (Which I have been
praying for). I do miss my K2 kids because all of them are moving up to Primary 1, I pray that all of them will do well and excel in school. I have 4 more months with this company, because in May would be my last month of school and I really wanna focus properly on my last paper and also will be looking for a new job then.
Work wise I have been talking to some friends who have already been working in the science industry for a while, it seems like I might be going back to research field if God's plan for me is to go back to research. I think probably my first full time job was a little overwhelming because of the work load and the job scope (if you know me personally you would know the horror of my job). But I am going to trust God to put me somewhere that I can manage and where I am supposed to be.
My walk with God this year also hasn't been always good, I
hope 2015 will be a better and closer walk with Him. I have been on and off serving in church because of my school schedule, so it hasn't been very constant so far. I was part of the committee in SHINE youth sunday, so it was a little tough handling the baking team as well as juggling school and work. Thank you nigel for being understanding (: This year was a year of change for the SHINE youth, we were in new cell groups and new system, it was quite a big change because praise and worship was going to be by the youth and not with the adult service anymore, also cell was being done after youth service, which was good for me because I haven't been able to attend cell last time due to my curfew and school. Christmas was great too with the cell group!
I had my first
family trip to bangkok after many years and because my sister and I
planned the itinerary, it was nice seeing my parents relaxed and not
having to worry. To more yearly trips!
As for my relationship, it was yet another year of new
experiences with Moses going into the uni. This year was also a year I
spent more time around his friends which I enjoyed very much (: Getting new experiences, hanging out and talking and playing games. Next year 2015 would mark 5 years of being together! It really has been quite fast, it seems only 2 years since we have been together. As we grow together, more matters comes up and more serious topics comes up. I won't digress to details ;) I really am grateful for Moses always trying to be there for me.
I also like to thank my 2 best friends, Carissa and Ain, for continually being there for me since we graduated from Poly. This friendship between the 3 of us has not been easy, due to not being able to meet up often, Carissa going to Australia to study for a year, me being busy with work and studies. Hopefully 2015 we can meet up more often!
Definitely looking forward to 2015!
My resolutions for 2015:
1. Appreciate my family more
2. Walk closer with God and able to serve more regularly
3. Get a job with good pay and no need to work weekends
4. Appreciate Moses more and continue to support him in his school and work
5. Learn to cook and bake more items that I have never done before
6. Lose a little bit of weight and maintain
7. Study harder for the 5 months more
8. Appreciate my friends around me more
9. Become less temperamental
10. Travel to Bangkok with friends
11. Hopefully be able to apply for BTO
12. Blog more: about life and topics that can help readers, also on short stories
13. Save more money
14. Love more, Judge Less, Forgive More.
Happy 2015 to all!
xx
