Things came and gone, happened and did not happen, changed and some remain stagnant but it's definitely a year of blessings.
It's just countless as to the amount of things I've learnt in 2008. How do I even put these things in simple words.
The beginning of the year marked a very important period in my life where I finally renewed a relationship with my Father in Heaven. There were things that happened that sorta drawn me away from him for some time. It's just so refreshing to have his anointing and touch in my life once again. Since then, everything seemed to move really well. I started to join CF in UCSI and it's like a whole different life as compared to my Foundation year. People were friendly, helpful, godly, and crazy (something that I admire very much).
I also started blogging (something that I've never had the perseverance to continue after at most 5 posts). I wasn't even sure if it could last for a month. And look, now! I guess I've finally learnt perseverance in doing something you want to do. And finally, I've successfully completed a one year blog. It's an achievement! =)
Then there's Easter Rally, where I realized that God is so powerful in moving the young people. Never would I thought that this kinda event in a Uni can actually attract a large number of students to attend. And the whole thing, praise and worship, performances, sharing was all in a whole package to touch the hearts of many. Of course it was such a joy to see one of my best friends accepting the Father there and then that night. Praise God! =p
Without a shadow of doubt, I had one of the most awesomest Birthday to date this year. I had 4 celebrations, all surprised, by my awesome friends. It's something I could never have forgotten in my whole life. I never really have the idea of birthday surprises in my life except small simple celebrations by my family members. To all my friends, you're the greatest!
How could I forget that I finally started to get thinner by the minute. Probably because of the stress of everything, and I had not much time to eat. But it was good. It has been so long since I want to get rid of the fats in my body and to wear things I love wearing. Not that I'm discriminating fatness, but let's put it this way, I want to feel what it's like to be thinner. And it's good. Secret recipe? Ask me!
Of course this year, I started serving in some ministries. Like I said, I've renewed my relationship and I want to be an active person in His kingdom. First it was Choir, then I added on to the Media Ministry. It's such a joy to be able to work with a bunch of really cool people for the Lord. I've learnt so much from them. And to add on, I was deeply encouraged by some of the comments by the people. It's something I love doing since don't know when but never really had the guts to do it. Recently, I've passed the audition for back up singing in church. Thank You Lord for the great privilege to serve You.
This year, I really got to know a LOT of new friends, good and maybe bad ones. But each and every one of them had impact in my life. I can't thank the 4 Musketeers enough for impacting me to do something I love - singing. They not only together played instruments, guiding me to sing in a right way and all. All of a sudden, I felt like a young boy learning all these things. I never had that privilege to learn such things like other kids back then. I've never loved singing more than ever.
I joined the committee for CF this year and it was indeed a blessing. I never knew that CF takes a lot of planning until I went for the CPR. It's like crazy brain squeezing and that's just for a short semester. I wonder how it's like for a long semester. I finally started on some simple script writing for the weekly short plays in CF. Well, it's a little amatuerish, but I gotta start somewhere. I'm looking forward to doing this "serious" script for Rally next year.
I definitely can't miss out on my results this year. I wouldn't say it's great. Some were good, some were down the drain. Some totally blew my mind away, in a bad way. I've promised myself, I would be a more diligent and hardworking student next year. I would try my best to juggle between my studies and the 1 million and one things that I'm doing. Oh Lord, please help me!
I had a great Christmas this year. One of the greatest gift I received was from Astro, giving me the opportunity to join NIDA's Short Courses in Screen Acting. Just in case you don't know, I love acting as well. Never in a million years I would think I'd have such a big exposure. It was all exciting to me. Meeting the people there, learning the things there, just made me realize that I'm not the only one having such a dream. It helped me learnt to want to pursue it even further. We'll see how that goes. A big shout out to my awesome friends at NIDA.
Just as I was ready to end this year, I received yet another good news from my student. She got her PMR results yesterday and she nailed the subject I taught - Maths. She definitely has been doing miserably in school. But she got an A. I was the 1st one to be informed, not even her mum. Her mum called me again and thank me for helping her daughter. It's such a great encouragement for me as someone who wants to try to teach everything I have and end up being appreciated. Teaching gives me a lot of satisfaction.
I still have tonnes of things to write, but I don't want to be long-winded like I already was in this post. All these significant things that changed my life thoroughly this year indeed proved that this is a year of blessings. Thank you my friends who have been there since day one, giving support and constructive criticism in making me a better person. I'll work harder next year.
The best is yet to come! Amen! =p
