After the event, Quanhan and myself decided to hunt for some food and the whole Marina area was buzzing with people. Landed in Macdonalds at Bugis Junction. Two guys sitting in the middle of Macs in school uniform, everyone was looking at us like we're aliens! Sat there eating with our sheepish smiles...
Talked about our lives, how we were in the past, how we have changed, reviewed the years, what are our hopes, expectations and aspirations in the new year. Good way to start the year; with good company, and bringing life into perspective once-again. We couldn't help but thank God, seeing in retrospect, how God had kept our lives strong, and how His plan unfolds. Many times when we go through challenges and events, we see it in isolation and question its reasons. Only after time and in retrospect, can we see events and challenges as a whole, as a string of events that brings relevance to each other, to derive a desired result. Desired result of a changed, moulded person. Such events and challenges tends to always deal with issues in our lives, such as self-identity issues, esteem, security issues and when we lean on God, we learn and get over these issues to be better people. Our lives are all that matters to God. Circumstances and events are in flux based on perspective, therefore when we as individuals have the right perspective, we then can deal with challenges and events right.
Right......where did that whole chunk come from...
I'm not entirely excited about 2009. I mean, I am, but in a rather restrained way. Its the thought that its a whole new year, full of unknowns. I only know that it will definately be eventful, full of challenges, victories and certainly failures. Trusting in God for the unknown, believing that I will do my best in all ways, looking forward to more experiences and adventures.
2 main things I learnt last year, focus and patience.
New year, new goals, new vision. (Need to pray more this year.)
So here's to the new year, the best year yet for all of us!
