i bid farewell to this year; a year marked with numerous changes; at work, church and at home. some significant events in 09 include:
i began to take on counseling cases at work.
i was in a relationship for the 1st time! 1st in 25 years of age. :) though it was brief, i learnt alot of things just by being in it and out of it. this experience has tutored me more in the area of bgr than i could ever read.
i moved house (technically not yet but soon), away from my home in Queenstown where i resided for about 10 years. and i didn't even get to say goodbye to the flat as i was in Cambodia. hmmm.. but i didn;t miss it as much as i thought i would. Welcome Mt Faber!
i led footprints expedition 2009.
i stepped down as CL of AHH in Sep, and Lionel took over, with Arron as ACL! i will fondly remember those times i spent with the members; times in the prayer closet, times of leadership, times of partnering the the Holy Spirit, times of laughter and fun, times of bicker and strife! :)
2 of my best friends, Su Yin and Jess got married! What a joyous time of celebration and marital bliss! feels bad that i was not able to be present at Yin's wedding! :( super disappointed. Hmmm.. i foresee more weddings this year and the next! Need to save up!
First time mcee in a ROM! that was Jess and Ryan 's ROM. and in mother tongue some more! Wa.. so glad everything went well and i didn't get tongue tied!
A year plus old as a social worker. yeay i survived! :) it had been an eye opener and great learning time.
my brother entered RP year 1. time flies! my brother is no longer the small little boy or pia kia/ botak! lol. and he has outgrown my armpit. :( haha.
my friend Swee Sing came back from Canada. this friend whom i msned with quite regularly is finally home. its great to see him face to face than online! lol.
woa. i'm sure there are other significant moments/milestones in 2009 but thats all i can remember for now. and with bading farewell to 2009, i am ready to face 2010, whatever comes! i entered 2010 with much downess of soul and discouragement, but praise God, just in the last couple of days, i felt God speaking to me through my prayers, as i read Growing Deep In God (Edmund Chan), read perry noble's blog, and hearing the pastors speak at the church services. because the Lord has spoken and shown me what is it that has been hindering my walk with Him, i feel much better and ready to face the year ahead with much hope and cheer. I also feel the Lord nudging me to step up to serve in ministry again.
