Wednesday, December 21, 2005 somehow, the year has come to an end.. this year has been full of ups and downs.. its been a great year.. yet also regretful.. and maybe a tinch of sadness.. i remember on 31st dec 2004.. i told someone, "don't worry.. i didn't get to celebrate new year's eve with you.. but i will next year!" well.. i guess that's a lil impossible now eh.. let me recount back to the main events of this past year..+Serve '05the first two mths were spent in serve together with eugenia, lala and my twin.. it was such a wonderful time of sharing and growing and bonding.. of learning and breaking barriers.. at some point of time in that two months.. i opened up my heart and was completely vulnerable to the three of them.. and most definitely to God.. i learnt so much about myself and about God.. was all ready to go out there and evangelise.. which i did..+Perak Trip #1my first ever mission trip.. scared.. not knowing what to expect.. the whole group of us took a bold step of faith.. and we never looked back with regret.. i remember wishing that the trip would never end.. because i was learning so much fresh information and experiencing things i've never ever experienced before..+Trip to Melbournethis trip to melbourne and sydney lasted two weeks and was done almost on impulse.. but it was good spending time with my sis.. (:and somewhere in between the trip to melb and the second trip to perak.. i made the decision to study in melbourne.. even though i've always dreamt of studying overseas.. i didn't expect the decision to take so much pondering and thought.. well, at least the thought process comprised mainly of deciding to leave everything to God, which i did.. and everything turned out good in the end i guess..+Perak Trip #2then came trip no. 2 in may.. with pastor ian not with us this time and our numbers dwindling to a mere 4.. this was really really a bold step of faith out of our comfort zone.. we had tons of fun.. and we had tons of trial and errors cos there was nobody to guide us this time.. but it was just awesome i dare say.. in some ways, it was way better than the first trip.. cos this time, nothing was planned nicely for us.. we had to take the initiative..+Church Campin june came the church camp in KL.. had tons of fun spending time with jude and eugenia.. knowing that it might probably be my last church camp in the few years to come just led us to treasure the time spent even more.. and on the last night, after playing cards and talking nonsense and talking serious.. there came the scary incident which left me and jude freaked out.. and from the two ends of the king size bed that we were sharing, we rolled right into the center and tried to not think wild thoughts while sleeping on the same pillow.. and then came jude's leg cramp incident.. (: this camp left me with many many memories.. mostly good i dare say..after this came the trip to the zoo and ben and jerry's.. it felt like a primary school excursion all over again.. (: but it was really really fun.. and the ben and jerry's and the end was worth it i guess.. haha..+The day i lefton the 28 of june.. i had my last dao hui break with my dearest mummy.. before going to the airport late at night.. it was really nice to see everybody who was there to send me off.. i was sad and excited.. happy and apprehensive.. so many emotions.. it didn't feel like i was going for real.. somehow, the people sending me off didn't set the waterworks off.. but the letters and notes did it.. that's all for now i guess.. part II and maybe even part III will come soon.. (:
