RBS Awaits!

Merry Christmas to everyone who might be reading this on Christmas day :D

Sorry I have to say that I didn't have the time to complete my end-of-year recap super-post that I promised I would come up with. The thing is, the bulk of what took place throughout the year can scarcely be described with just words alone. I cannot begin to recall how the year started, because right from the night we had Watchnight service during New Year's Eve, 2007 spun like an olden day camera that captured many aspects of my own character, my values, my integrity and what-not all on miles and miles of photographic film.

I made new friends, I lost contact with some, I did things I never thought was possible , and discovered many different facets of myself, both as a fallen person and a rescued son of God at the same time. Every time I think that I've made progress, I find that I only know so little. But for every obstacle that came, there was a reason behind it.

Along the way, God led me through the dense jungle of self-doubt and apathy to do things that would have certainly warranted a good 'No way that's gonna happen' from me just a year back.I had to take a deeper look at relationships, and see who are affecting me in the way I carry myself, and take charge of friendships that seemed to spiral out of control. It's scary sometimes, I have to admit. But I've made more than my fair share of wonderful new friends, and among them quite a number made a difference in my life.

Even now, so many problems remain unsettled, but I have to leave for RBS already. I haven't an inkling what would take place at HCC in the coming month, but I am eager, to see, hear and feel, just what God has in store for me because I thought NS was spiritually-challenging enough already. I pray though, that I would be able to adjust myself because my sleeping patterns had been off the charts of late due to the holidays. Even today I'm still sleeping late ;D Guess I'll have to replace my lost sleep during the trip up to HCC. One more day! RBS? Let's go!

So It's Finished

And so it's finished. Habis. The END..I guess I've just reached a point where I cannot imagine myself not lying in wait of the dreaded four-letter word (you know which four :D) anymore. It's kinda odd really, since most of my friends' first few reactions were "what am I gonna do now?" and "so what now?", right after the last of the Bio papers were collected.

It's over, settled and done with, and with that, I suppose I can have the luxury of spending a few days to think back upon this wonderful year that just flew right by me. The torrents of time that struck me many times over, the drownings, the days when the sailings were smooth, the good times, the great times, and the awful times. Much had been said and done, but even more was left untouched and undisturbed.

I think...I had a great year. No, superb. Or even extraordinary :D Not in the sense that I won a million dollars or that I was bathing in euphoria everyday, but in the way that this is the year that I would probably look back and say hey, THAT was the year that defined me in many ways.

The promised recap won't be out in print for a while though, since I'd be on my way back to the idyllic town of Kuantan in an hour's time :D Haven't been back in a while , so it's a nice opportunity to visit the fantastic teh-C-ping restaurant and get my fill (^.^) Once again now, STPM is officially a past-tense for me..save for the worrying-about-results part, of course xD
