The year 2012 wasn't very smooth for me.
Reflecting on the past year, I've matured more ever since I've gone into the working world. I'm not completely matured but yeah.
It has been an unexpected one, with new job, no school, new things, new skills.
1. I graduated from poly. With a diploma of Molecular Biotechnology. CCA, Silver, but who really cares eh. Even though I've graduated, at that time it was still "OMG WE ARE GRADUATING" and was can't wait to graduate, but now, I've been wishing I was still in poly.
2. I finally come clean with my parents, especially my mum, about my relationship with Moses by God's prompting. It turned out better than I expected it to be. Now my mum's all "dont think he is your Mr. Right ah I tell you... blah blah blah".
3. With God's grace, I have a full time job now! And I have a nice boss, nice colleagues, and nice prof. I was fighting for that spot with 3 other degree holders. I was the only one with only a diploma. Really God's grace. Not only that, I've made new friends and my pay ain't that bad even though CPF takes like 400 away :( but I mean CPF in the end I also can use to buy house hahaa.
4. I got my license in the early 2012 in march! I still remembered that the day after I passed my dad ask me to drive on the highway and back home for a short while. A week later I was driving 3 of my friends to school from their house for FOC, of course with my sister at the side la. I finally got to drive alone without any of my family members in the car on the 7th September which we had LSCT Alumni dinner, unfortunately I had an accident in school, which set me back quite bad because after that I have a phobia of driving (still have ok) but now not so bad at least can park now! So thank God for helping me get through all this, hopefully I will be back on track on driving and eventually drive the car alone ^^
5. I went to USS finally! But twice. With two different groups. Unfortunately the first time I went it was not a very pleasant experience because of the set backs of the staycation I faced, but nonetheless, it was my first time but the guys weren't very into spamming rides. The second time I went to USS was with my 2 lovely friends, Ain and Carissa, which we spammed photos and rides and I actually had the guts to sit first row of all the rides, including the Human and Cylon ride.
6. I have been distancing myself from God, but in the beginning of 2012, I was closer to God, but after Sabby went to UK, and bible study stopped, I started to get lazy and started distancing myself from God which is really quite sad...
7. I am trying to pick up ukulele! But still rusty, I can play songs like Jason Mraz "I'm Yours" and Train "Hey Soul Sister". Got abit lazy after awhile heh.
8. My boyfriend, Moses, enlisted into the army. It hasn't been easy for the both of us, but we are still growing together and learning :)
9. Christmas wasn't the same as last years, sadly. I didn't actually enjoy myself.
10. SHINE M.A.D. (Make A Difference), I decided to join the caroling to M.A.D. people, good experience haha! But I enjoyed myself despite actually always not wanting to go for practice :/ Cos it felt like choir all over again and I hate it.
My resolutions you may ask?
1. To constantly exercise. Currently I am following this "Insanity Challenge" workout, solves my problem of "if it rains I can't run" nonsense, I am still only doing day 1 and day 2 so far, really very thankful to this lady who uploaded all of it on youtube, so you guys can go check it out too! Why exercise? It helps keep your heart healthy! Like really, keep it pumping harder so it gets "exercised" too. And I really wanna lose my love handles. Trust me, I have them. And it's the only thing keeping me from buying body hugging NICE dresses and clothes, and showing it off. My thinking is this "If you have it, flaunt it. If you don't, please don't act like you have" So yeah! But it's not going to be easy with part time studies coming up, but I'm gonna try my best to exercise regularly and follow the "Insanity Challenge" as much as possible, starting from tomorrow.
2.To really study hard. I am really gonna try. I screwed up my poly GPA, and I can't afford to screw up my degree. I know it is not going to be easy working full-time and studying part-time and having a relationship where my dearest boyfriend is planning to go the air-force. It really isn't going to be easy but I'm trusting God with it.
3. To bless more people! And M.A.D. with SHINE! I've started to get Christmas presents for my family this year, since I am already working. Blessed to be a Blessing!
4. To be able to grow more mature, less temperamental! and CHANGE to be someone God wants me to be.
5. To continue to grow together with Moses as a couple, to continually support and encourage him, to be there for him always.
6. To grow closer to God.
7. Read finish the bible! and the book that Michell bought for me.
8. Save more $$! This is going to be hard because I am paying for my own school fees, no more allowance and I am paying for my own transport and meals.
9. Serve more in church! I am starting already, my youth pastor has asked me to serve in Zimrah ministry, which is the praise and worship team. parents aren't too happy, but it's only like once a month = = and annabel has asked me to help with Kids Ministry! Moses has been also called to serve and be a youth leader!
10. To do well in my workplace, and also help spread God's word.
11. To do less gossiping. (HAHA this one is really hard but I'll do my best)
But anyways, I really wanna thank God for bringing me through another year. He has been merciful and graceful to me. Hope that 2013 will be a better year!
I am turning 21 this year. GAHHH. Need to plan plan plan party. And very hard la omg. Gonna be broke with all the 21 birthday parties I have to attend. Well, God will make a way!
