Reflecting on 2006, preparing for 2007

It suddenly occurs to me that 2006 is going to close its doors on me!!!

Very soon, you'll hear ppl celebrating and greeting you,
" Happy New Year! Happy 2007!
May this NEW year be an exciting life change year ever!"

I started to reflect on what i had done in this past year;
time seems to be infinite,
yet it comes and goes so fast.

Looking back, i am amazed at where i stand tdy,
amazed at the decisions i made,
and simply amazed at the outcomes.

I never thought that i would have the courage,
to want to move out and explore wat life has in store for me.
I never thought that i will or can break out of that shell,
I never knew that there are things which i wanted that badly...
But i do know that i can trust God.

Looking back, i saw many things;
things that i like to remember,
things that i wish it never happened,
things which led me to see how wrong i was,
things that tell me more abt the ppl ard me,
Best of all, i can see God's love showering upon me.

God IS with you, no matter if you are conscience of it or not.

Mummy.... My tic is confirmed!!!

A New Living Experience

I have been putting off blogging,
cos time seems to be running out very fast for me each day.
Each day we return to tis hse cold and tired and hungry,
and all we look forward to is to fill our stomachs,
hop into the hot shower at the maximum heat the heater can give,
and jump into bed... snugging under the think and heavy blanket covers.

Oh, did i mention that now there is only have 1 Internet connection in this new place,with 2 ppl sharing 1 lappy...
There's a certain level of challenge to find some privacy and quietness to do the things i would like to do.

Things are completely different for me now;
i am not staying at home with my family,
but i am working somewhere far from home
and living with an associate and a fren cum colleague.

Initially, we din really have a good start;
I have to admit that i was kinda of hostile to tis new associate,
whom i did not know at all.
I did not volunteer but it was a request,
which i thought i couldnt refused.
Then for a short period of time,
a sense regret came over me and...
just take my word that i am hostile and mean for a period of time.

Living with strangers / non family member is very different,
there is alot more compromise than you would expect,
alot more patience and tolerance than you would have,
and definitely exposing your vulnerabilities and ugly Eve.

Its not comfortable,
and internally you are resisting...
After some time, you would realize that no amt of resisting would be any gd,
cos thats the way it is.
The only change is possible would be you or the other parties else is to move out and live alone.
It is impossible for me to move out and live alone,
so now you know that i am under training...
Training to be a better person to live with.

I hope everything will turn out well,
all the way till the end of the attachment at least.

NEW PLACE!!!

God has been really good to me,
and i have been keeping the good things He had done for me to myself,
i think its time to give God his due glories...

First of all, i wished in my heart secretly that i can move to a bigger and better and a cheaper place than the one i am in. But i did not even pray abt it.
next time i know, i had support to move and share a new apartment with another colleague.

So we decided that we shld start looking for places, but actually we didnt. At the care grp meeting, someone was saying that there are ppl leaving for hse, and their hses/apartments are available for rental. And of cos, I JUMPED! And that was how i manage to view the first apartment. As for the second place, another member told me that his landlord has 2 places to let out and would arrange for me to view.

So u see... i din go look for hse, but it actually came to me!
HALLELUJAH!!!

First hse, was actually a penthouse; Its actually just an apartment at the highest level with a balcony. Its really spacious to the one i am in now, it has 3 rooms with 3 toilets... one of the toilets even have a bathtub... nt bad rite! The location is really good with plenty of shops downstairs... gotta love it!

Second hse, was really a hse; Its located in a very quiet and private locations, somewhat like frankel ave type of place... Its quite a cool hse with 2 big balcony at the front and back of the 1st flr, then we can also go up to the roof where ppl can hold bbq or jus sun bath or look at the sea.

Yup, we finally settled down on choosing that one apartment. We actually prefer a place with conviences than a quiet and private environment.

God even brought us ppl to help communciate with the landlord, the nice lady really was a great help. We shld really get her a gift or a meal to show our gratitude.

I just finish packing 85% of the entire hse now, and i am beat...
I'm just glad that we can finally settle down... It was easy, really v easy when you have God on your side. ^_^

Abba, TODA! Thank You Very Much!!!

Today is just another day in your life?

Is Today just another day for u?
Is Today just another fridays in the 365 days of year 2006?

Its is another friday for me,
another friday for me in this foreign land...
This sacred but foreign land,
This land which God has chosen,
but not quite my home...

Eeks, write out of point again... kekekeke

Anyway, its another day for me,
but not JUST another day;
I'm somewhere out there living alone for awhile,
going to move to another rented place,
going to live under the same roof with another 2 human beings which are not my family members,
going to have gathering every sat nite at my new place, with me cooking dinner for all...

EEKS!!!! how to be JUST ANOTHER DAY?!!!
