Reflections

Among the thousand over photos combined between Nelson and myself, I love this photo best!! Hahaha!!


The trip up to Malacca has been the most brainless one for me. Much planning has been done by Nelson & his baby Wanping. Geo and myself simply followed wherever they go (with the exception of the 2nd day afternoon).

I have also taken the 3 days away from Singapore to do my reflection of 2008 and some planning for 2009.

2008 has been pretty eventful (in my opinion). Let's see:

Work life
  • I stayed on to do Residential Work but with a different capacity. Taking on the new role took much courage, knowing that there will be much changes in my life.
  • To be part of the pioneering team of the new structure at work.
  • Am clear that my heart is for Care & Protection work for children.
Relationship life
  • I entered a new relationship with you-know-who. Hahaha!!! After 3 good years of friendship, Geo and I finally decided to take a step further.
  • Anchored friendships deeper.
Family life
  • Making sure that I do my best to spend more time at home. To the best that I can, I try to spend more time with my parents, especially my dad. (I am not the most patient daughter though)
Life with God
  • Being able to know how my life is so closely entangled with my relationship with God. When I stop praying, I know I will grow distant from God and my temper and mood will just go downhill.
  • Seeing miracles happening as I prayed and fasted.

For 2009 (in general):
  • To continue to pray and keep my relationship with God close to my heart;
  • To learn how to build deeper relationships with adults and children;
  • At work, to be my best and to improve in my leadership skills;
  • To prepare myself for marriage prep course;
  • To exercise at least 2 times a week (I have already failed for the first 3 weeks of the year);
Gone is 2008. Time and tide waits for no man. Indeed, the one thing that one cannot retrieve is Time. So after reflection, it's time to move on and be a better person!
