I Thank God for 2010.




I thank God for 2010. Not because it has been a smooth-sailing and pleasant year as some might think, but because of what He has brought me through.

I will remember 2010 as the year I did the most nonsense in my life but also the year I set my feet back on track.

I didn't really share this with anyone, but during one of the night sessions during a camp in june, one of the church pastors prayed over me and mentioned this to me amongst many other things- that I will lose some close friendships this year and I will form more strong friendships. At that point of time, it left me utterly confused. But now the year has ended, and I understood what he meant. I thank God for the new friendships I now have.

2010 was also the year I completed my national service. People hate serving the army, and I can agree with them to a certain extent, but it's through this whole time when I learnt how to appreciate the people and things around me. Yes, I have met many bad characters in the army and sadly they are christians which makes things worse, but I believe this people are put in our life to shape us.

Even as the year comes to a close, that's so much I really wish to share. Recently, I have been thinking a lot of what I want to do in future when I grow up. I don't know why but this crazy idea came to me today about doing short-term missions trips when I grow up (the few months kind). I think it would be super cool to quit school and go do missions! I mean afterall, you don't need a degree to have a heart for people right? Don't worry I won't quit school! I feel that unless we make an impact in the lives of others, life will really be such a meaningless bore. We don't live for ourselves, really.

Anyway, I have to go now. I'm really looking forward to 2011, everything about it! 2011's gonna be so exciting! :D

I felt soo convicted I just had to do it.

I just 'cleansed' my iPod and deleted away around 2GB worth of songs I deemed as unhealthy from it. I felt abit heart-pain because it's mostly all gone but I know it's something I should have done a long time ago.

Back to the days when my iPod was filled with mainly christian songs! Let's see how long can this last! (Btw, here's a fun fact! I spent almost my whole secondary school life listening to christian music. Hence if you asked me about most songs back then I probably don't know much. :P)

I like this post so much I shall re-blog it in LJ.

Long time no post!

There's so many awesome things happening in my life right now which I really wanna share with everyone and all! So do ask me if you are interested because simply posting on my blog defeats the purpose somehow.

I'm still pondering whether I shall shut this blog down after the donkey years it has been around.

I was really toying with the idea of setting up my own domain for my portfolio after talking to Juli, so I could wander into freelancing.

Ok, I shall give myself a challenge, that is to take a photo within the next 1week before the 25th and post a photo that signifies christmas for me this year.

So wait for it people!!

Sometimes, I wished I had a best friend.

Someone whom I know I can always rely on and turn to.

I realised how much I have drifted away from so many people over the last 22months. I wished I could have done something about it, but at the end of the day, it really takes two hands to clap.

Today's just an exceptionally sad day. It's been some time since I was really this sad. I think I have an unhealthy split personailty. It's just so fake. Negative emotions are not good.

Goodnight.

22months has passed and I'm finally done with army. I wanted to type a really long post about the past 22months but when the day came, I didn't have any drive to do so.

All I can say is that the past 22months of my life has been the most important one as I have changed the most throughout the whole period. It was the time I was so close to giving up on my religion but I'm thankful that now I'm closer to Him. I really thank the people who were there for me both family and friends alike. Maybe I will blog a longer post next time.

For now, I'm off to Japan and Hong Kong for holiday! Be back on the 21st!

I knocked my dad's car this morning.

I felt terrible for the rest of the day.. ):

There's this other big thing bothering me terribly for the past 1week but I shan't blog it out here. Maybe God wants me to learn something from all this.

Thanks God for the last-minute getaway to KL. I really really needed the break from Singapore. I was so close to not going when I heard the original plans to tioman got cancelled the day before and I was more concerned about the matriculation in SMU. But I'm glad I made the right decision.

I had much fun there, getting to know my church friends at the same time. I realised certain things I never knew went on in the background, which made me think once again about issues and stands. I don't know why I have this tendency to disagree with things.. Maybe sometimes being a lil more simple-minded and accepting anything that comes might help.

Yesterday was a nice day out too. (:

Will be gone overseas for most of the days left in this year, starting with next week right after I ORD. I should be more excited, shouldn't I?

Dear God,

I need an extra dose of faith for tomorrow's test.

Dear friends,

I have just uploaded a series of photographs entitled "Street Photography" (Very unoriginal title I know..) on facebook.

Do check it out here! Thanks.

It's a series I have been working on recently and a genre I'm trying to gain more experience in. A change from the usual landscape and stationary shots.

A Post out of Sheer Boredom



I love online shopping. The thrill of receiving something in your mail is certainly worth the wait! Today 3 of my books I ordered online from the UK arrived! Surprisingly, the prices online are much more competitive than that locally. Now I officially have 4 paperbacks to complete. I love the National Geographic photobook a lot! It looks like a good gift for people. Can't wait to finish reading my books so I can buy new ones to read. (geek..)




Finally!! After waiting so long to get an arsenal jersey I managed to buy one at 50% off with the use of some gift voucher. Woohoo. Still thinking whether to persuade my dad to subscribe to Mio TV so I can catch EPL now that I'm out of the army. My legs are itching to play some soccer too!

I'm so bored bored bored.

I think I've just found myself a new hobby. That is to find a nice secluded coffee place, sit down, read my book and just let time pass.

Ever since I got back from Thailand, I've been going out alone so often. It's a change for once. With so much free time nowadays and everyone else busy with their lives, I found myself spending much time with myself.

I feel the need to discover myself once again. I'm still considering running away to a foreign land by myself for a week, switch off my phone and just spend time alone.

I entered my current phase of life so suddenly, I was so ill-prepared and lost my way terribly for a substantial amount of time. I do not wish to enter the next phase the same way I did previously before I lose my footing entirely again.

Because it's me You chase, I can never run too faraway.

I wished I knew..

Too many thoughts on my mind...

Too many for my own good.

I wished this is all a dream, so I could either choose to live on with it or just,

Wake up..
