MY MEMORIES

a big happy new year to everyone
after a really long hiatus, bryys has decided to go back to blogging because he has nothing else better to do..
2006 came and went, and seriously, it was one heck of a year.. filled with periods of happiness, and also laden with times of disappointment and grief. but hey, following chinese tradition, one, in anticipation of the arrival of the new year, must forgive and forget the wrongs of others, bury hatchets, and start the new year afresh.
I thank the Lord for all the friends he has blessed me with for the past years, of which i shall name a few:
1. mike & bryan : the best friends i could ever ask for, who truly are indispensable. I thank God for the super long friendship He has blessed us with. May it never falter or fade to inexistence.
2. azzad: my good ol bro in melb. i thank you for all the crazy times we had, and the trials and tribulations we went through together.. and yes.. for all the drinking, partying and stoning..
3. mel, nita and didi: the funkiest and fun-nest sisters i ever had in melb.. and have tolerated my lameness for 3 years running.. haha
4. jerry: my godbro and friend since wayyyyyyy back.. thanks for all the friendship and crap we went through, wishin ya all the best in uni
5. rayner + val + shu en + YG 3 + our church gang: thanks for the crap we had in church.
6. megan: one of the few ex-classmates i ever caught up (and maintained contact) with. i thank you for all the moral support u have gave me and the constant reminding about God's infinite grace and mercy. God really must have spent a lil more time on u.. and no im not being lame.. heh
7. chuang: the older sister i never had... thanks for all the friendship for the last years even though we HARDLY meet up..
8. all the people i forgot to name: thank you
2007 also signifies the end of my teenage years, and the start of adulthood. In lieu of this, my resolutions for this year are as follows:
1. To continue walking close to God. Truly, my position today would not have materialised if it werent for God's abundant grace and mercy, who had picked me up from the murky depths of the abyss and had shown me the light that sparkled at the end of a dark tunnel. God should not solely be called upon in times of desperation. Rather, He should be called upon EVERYDAY, because He is defintely worthy of ALL praise and adoration.
2. God has taught me to anticipate for everything, as all things do not always go according to plan. I, too, must learn not to be so stubborn and narrow-minded.
The crux of this statement revolves around my rather pathetic love life. I used to cling on to the hope that my long-term crush of 4 years was the one that i had been searching for all my life, and that she, in turn, would reciprocate her feelings back to me. Well, currently, it seems that the chemistry that i had with her is slowly fading into oblivion, and yes, there is strong uncertainty of a prospect of a steady relationship.
There are countless times that in events like these, i would slip into one heck of a depression, and complain to God that He was unfair and i din wanna listen to Him no more. Occasionally, the thought of taking a knife and plunging into my throat would surface and resound deafeningly.
No more
It will be nerve-wrecking, but i will learn to anticipate and overcome change, accepting the change as it is, and not complain at all. because in all things, God has a plan for everything, and He will not forsake us, no matter what. If God decides that X is not the one for me, so be it.
3. Dilligence is a virtue; may i learn to be more hardworking, and less complacent, in my academical studies.
4. I too must learn not to be judgemental towards others, as books clearly should not be judged by their covers alone
hmm.. i guess that's about it for the time being... will TRY to update more often.. heh
may all of u have a blessed year, and may God bless u always and forever
