last post for 2005

2005 is coming to an end very soon...in fact, i'm not even fully prepared for it...the days after 20 dec seem to gallop away till the next moment i knew it, it's really 31 dec today!

Anyway, I wanted to do some stock-taking of this year but I don't know what exactly to stock-take too. I have a bad memory when it comes to events (my memory is only jolted because of idiosyncratic reasons i think).

This year has seen various shifts in my life. I feel like a nomad sometimes. Professionally-wise, I have shifted from a secondary school teaching environment back to being a student (for a v v short while) and then to a college teaching environment. These shifts meant that I had different responsibilities and expectations to fulfill.

And amidst all these shifts professionally, I (and my barang-barang!) also shifted from NIE hostel to my fren's place to my current place of residence.

Haha, and today, the doctor asked me a question that came out rather abruptly, "Do you feel tired?" Haha, I think with all these shifts, it is hard for me not to feel tired both physically and emotionally.

Of course, I'm also thankful that God gave me a double blessing in terms of studies this year. Teaching Diploma as well as Masters. Thank God for it.

Family and church-wise, as i posted earlier, things seem to be downhill.

...

In everything, I'm just glad that I have seen myself being rather strong this year (thanks to the grace of GOD). During times that I felt more vulnerable, besides my Lord, I'm also very thankful for friends. Friends who will encourage me, friends who will not despise me, friends who will lend concrete actions of help and friends who will just be there because they are concerned. And of cos' my darling nephew who never fails to put a smile on my face.

He hath made everything beautiful in his time (Ecclesiastes 3:11a)
