Last few days of the year

The past few weeks have been quite good weeks. In fact I must say that the whole year has been great for me. For me, year 2009 has been a good year. The first half of my year, I spent in the Rhone-alps region in Lyon. Everything in France seem so far away although it has only been recently.

For the past few weeks, I have gotten to know Keren and her family much better. I am thankful that I am accepted by them. I really appreciate the time we spent together and all other times not spent together.

I admit I could have done more for VCF. I once thought I knew what I wanted. But after taking it up, I do not know already. I guess I'll just have to pray.

School has been busy as usual. However, I am still lacking effort in my final year project. I should have put in final year student effort for my final year project.

The only regret I have for 2009 is that I did not get to know my hall people better. SEP had changed my impression towards hall and the hall life. I started becoming more 'phantom' like a typical final year student.

Christmas

Christmas this year was different and more special to me. Keren came and visited me. I really appreciate her coming down to support my choir during Christmas. It was really fun having her here too. I really enjoyed just spending time with her. Haha, we watched a few movies (so that mish and grace wont say that we are so boring). Brought her shopping and just hanging around in the house slacking. It was sad to see her go, but I guess she is quite tired already, although she keeps telling me she's not tired =p

Nevertheless, I really thankful and happy for you being able to come and visit me =) Thanks for your Christmas present too!

I will stop procrastinating tomorrow

I think I shall blog tomorrow...

Anyways, on the side note, I'm learning to see from different perspectives.

Remember

Since coming back from France, I have been drawn into the whole dynamics of a healthy busy university lifestyle. Hardly have I felt the need to just stop and remember and reflect. I have tried to stop and reflect at the end of the day for a few days, I have made a few resolutions of reflection and reevaluation but I failed to keep it. I even requested Keren to do it with me but many times I forget to do it myself. I hope she's still doing it =) and I will resolve to do it from now onwards.

The theme of this camp was quite appropriately chosen because it is something we often choose not to do. We often choose to forget the past because it may be painful. Well for me, pain did not keep me from remembering but rather it was laziness. To a certain extent, I live life at the present.

Claire Bennet in Heroes once said, 'We have to remember who we were before we know who we want to be'. That phrase make sense to me. Yup, so I'll start my journaling today. Pick up the pieces from the past. I learnt that the God of the Bible does really emphasize a lot on remembering, listening, learning, teaching and obeying.

Help me remember.
