HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
The voices of the guys who were sitting behind me this morning in church is still ringing LOUDLY in my head. "Happy new Year...Happy new Year..." the guys shouted from the bottom of their bellies. Felt like i was in a pasar malam n not in church. It was really funny!!! hahaha! :)
As i look back at 2006, i can't help, but feel so thankful to God. This was a year of change for me. After settling into work, the next change was when gra left for USA. felt super lonely n also tt the 3 of us tt were left, was not as close as we were. everything juz felt akward. Next was when my due promotion at work, bypassed me. kept asking if i had done something wrong. but God reminded me tt worldly status was of no value. y? coz i can't bring it into heaven wif me when i die. sad as i was, i knew tt i cannot refute the truth staring stright at me.
Taupok going to Canada for an exchage programme, leaving me wif the pcg all to myself, the responsibility was great. when teck started school, i was super happy, coz now he is juz a stone's throw away from me. but tt also pose to be a source of temptation for the both of us. then came the news of frens breaking up. y God? y did it happen? i asked, but i too know what the answer was. as we were trying to walk away from temptation, tt proved to cause a strain in my r/s. flaws became so obvious tt no amt of human love showered upon it can blot it away. soon it was time to say gdbye. the day tt i feared the most finally arrived. i wasn't prepared....oh, pls give me some time...don't u love me anymore? these were the thots tt flashed thru my mind. but God's grace is sufficient for me, eventhough it hurts, i will walk thru it victorious.
1 pregnant colleague giving bith = 3mths maternity leave, 2 others going away for 1 year to study. all the responsibilities pilling up on my shoulder rgding the scrub disciplines. shouldn't there be someone there for me? someone to encourage me thru tough times? i kept asking God tt. n His reply was, "Come to me all you who are burdened and heavy laidened, and I will give you rest". Who needs men when i have God, is my mentality now. oh, but don't get me wrong, i still like guys, for who can resist tt charming smile/or those eyes tt juz pierce thru ur soul/ or the humour tt they bring into the conversations rite! :)
Then a letter came on the 30th dec 2006. Qiuluan...Qiuluan, shouted NM Pat. Yes, Yes, i replied. Miss Tan n Sister Chia wants to see u, Pat said. I was already guessing in my mind what it could be. did i make a mistake n they want to sack me? Sister Pat held my hands tightly n told me tt it was somthing gd. and so here goes nothig as i entered the rm,...blah blah blah...here's your letter...blah blah blah...congrats for you PROMOTION! i was super, super, super happy lah! :) couldn't contain it in. at this point i want to give thanks to God for making me, for my parents to has and will never stop supporting me, to frens who are ever so encouraging, to colleagues who spur me on to work harder, to my superiors who believed in my work...THANK YOU! :) whoa...sounded so much like a "hong xing da jiang" speech. hahaha! :) what a good way to end the year.
For all the people out there tt i have met n will meet, you all have played a major role in all of these. I thank God for each and everyone of u...i love u lots! :) Here's to another year of great adventure! :) Cheers - Luanie
