Snippets Of Me

2006.

Friday, January 19, 2007

What do I say of this year that started out great but ended badly? Yet, I can safely say that it was worth going through. Though I've been tested in fire, drowned in water, had giants breathing down my neck, I know that I couldn't have learned anything had I not been put in all these circumstances.

So God, thank You. For all these experiences. For all the times that I fell and You were there to pick me up. For being always there when I needed You. For slowly revealing the plan You have for me. For blessing me with the gift of every single day. For strengthening my relationship between myself and mom. For teaching me to be more like You every day through the people and things that happen around me. Most importantly Lord, thank You for the people that You've blessed my life with.

(in no order of importance whatsoever)
Jo - Each year, I'm so amazed at how much more I'm finding out about you and how much more I can learn from you. I'm extremely thankful for your presence in my life. Thank you for always being there and for always being current in my life. For jumping into the water with me and for teaching me to breathe in choppy waters. ilu!

Hil - I know we haven't had the best of times this year. Still, I thank God for giving me you. Thank you for loving me despite everything that I've done and all that has happened. Thank you for always staying true to your promises and being sincere with everything.

Vanessa - My camwhore girlfriend! Thank you for injecting so much laughter into my life. I'm glad how our relationship has progressed ever since the start of this year when we took on council. Thank you for storing up (literally and metaphorically) so many memories with me and for always promising to be there whenever I need someone. You're loved by me! :D

Aaron - Aaron, oh Aaron. Wow. I would never have thought that we would have become friends, much less good friends! At the start of XPLC, I always thought that you were one to always stick to only the servers, but boy did you prove me wrong. I had a such a ball getting to know you better this year and I'll never forget all the stupid things that we did together. Playing like small kids at Bishan Park, steamboat, your grandma bicycles at ubin and so many other stuff. :D

Anthony - Funny how I got to know you didn't I? I remember we performed for feast day in 05 and look at how far we've come. A blooming guitarist indeed. Thank you for always being so eager with your talent - in learning and teaching. It's been great hanging out with you and the rest this year. Had loads of fun! Hopefully there's more of that in 2007! Oh and btw, good luck with you-know-who. *cheeky grin

Mols - Oh my darling molsey. I never got to tell you, but I was really touched by what you said in the Christmas card you gave me. I'm really awed too by how little we have in common and yet still are able to confide in each other about the serious stuff. 2006 has been a fantastic year in terms of developing this friendship with you. I still remember the time we travelled across half the world to get to Brain's hostel at NTU, our Bukit Gombak adventure and all our heart-to-hearts. Thank you for being such a beautiful friend! :)

Brain - Brainy brain brain. Haha! Can you believe it? If you hadn't come for CC4 camp last year, I wouldn't have gotten to know you at all! But 2006 was such a fruitful one in getting to know you better. I had lots of fun working and playing together with you in 2006. Passion play truly demonstrated your leadership skills and I had tonnes of fun working with you on it. :) I also remember post countdown at your place. Though nothing fancy, it was a fanastic way of starting the new year. With a close and cosy group of friends with muruku, root beer and mass chopsticks. :)

Benedict - My slave with fake pay. Haha. The thought of that just cracks me up big time. I can't believe how that title of you being my slave has stuck for more than a year now. Unfortunately, I think you're going to have to be my slave...FOREVER! Ha... Anyway, thank you for being that person that I can always count on. Thank you for all the trips to school to have lunch with me and for providing physical relief to my overworked body. (you're not my slave for nothing, you know) Thank you for always being honest with me. I'm very heartened by the fact that we are able to confide in each other. Thank you for being such a reliable friend! Love you to bits!

Jacqueline - Yucks, oh yucks. 2006 has been a time where we sort of lost each other. I really miss spending time with you. Our bugis village shopping sprees and our Orchard walks back in 2005. But in terms of work, you've shown yourself to be one hard worker. Thank you for always going out of your way to do things that are not supposed to be done by you. I pray that in 2007, our friendship won't stay stagnant and continue to grow. :)

Sheryl - My bestie. Though I didn't see much of you in 2006 until the end of the year, I'll always be thankful for you. You always seem to pop out of nowhere when I need you the most especially during the hardest part of 2006. You've always been someone I can always rant to about a bad day and truly be myself around. Thank you for always keeping me grounded and thank you for loving me. Love you!

Addison - I have so many memories with you. But it's sad that these memories are those that are work related. But I must affirm you for your perseverance throughout the year. Even with a pile of deadlines to meet and a billion things to do, you give your 100% to everything. This, I really admire you for. Perhaps in 2007, we could store up more memories that aren't work related yeah? :D

Bro - Oh dear brother. I know I've gotten quick tempered with you in 2006 and you were the victim of many of my bad days. I'm truly sorry about the times where my actions towards you were influenced by other things. Thank you for loving me and allowing me to love you. I'm glad that we can talk on a brother-sister level and that you are able to tell me about your bad days and the things that is happening in your life. I really enjoy spending time with you even though you do complain when I propose we do that. In 2007, I pray that we'll continue to share more of our lives with each other; and I do want you to know, that though I may not say it much, I do love you. :)

Paul - It's been great getting to know you ever since our EMRS days. It's great to have found someone who loves Christ and isn't afraid to show it. I've learned a lot from you over the past few months. Thank you for being so darn funny and full of crap. School's a lot livelier with you around. :D

Yvonne - I really do hope you read this from halfway across the world. I really miss you! Can't wait for you to come home in a few months. Anyway, thank you for supporting me throughout all this time in council. We haven't had much time to 'grow old together' as promised due to your A levels and all, but I hope 2007 would be a time of greater discovery on both ends. I MISS YOU!
