This year I really want to thank God for all he's done in my life. In friendships,school. My CCA (netball), the O Levels, basically everything. For bringing me through all the struggles I've faced in every ares of my life. I truly thank Him for being there for me and seeing me through.
Firstly, During the O level examinations period I was literally freaking out. Its not that I didn't study hard enough or that I didn't have enough confidence in myself to do the papers. My problem at that time was where would I go after the O's. I really didn't know what I would do or where I would go. When I talked to my friends, they seemed to know exactly where they want to go and what they wanted to do in life, all expect for me. So I prayed to God everyday in hopes that He might help me to figure out what to do. After the O's, everything started to kind of fall into place. My decision whether to get into a JC/Millenia Institute (a Centralized Institute) got clearer. You see when you come out of secondary school you have the option to go to JC or Poly. And I decided that I wanted to get into a JC or a Centralized Institute. And what was even more of a blessing was I found out that my dad wants to send me overseas to Canada to study when I reach at least 18. Thank God everything worked out =D.
Secondly, I thank God for the PLUNGE YOUTH CAMP 2006! Woo! Haha. It was a great youth camp. It was a life changing experience. I'm sure it must have been for all the plunge camp youths! During camp, it was truly amazing how God worked in everyone. For me, camp was awesome. I really like the fact that everyday/night something happened that helped us focus more on God and to just ignore all the things of the world for just that moment. I don't know if I'm making sense... for example the night when the electricity was down and we didn't exactly have a perfect sound system or when the rain came and all of us didn't shower before overnight worship. I'm just saying that we got to focus more on God this camp. I have never felt this happy in my life after this camp because I know that God is always here for me and I took that plunge for Him. I've rededicated my life back to Him and I'm SO glad. I really thank God for allowing me to experience Him at camp this year. The day after church camp I woke up that morning and gave up on line piracy. I deleted every bit of downloaded music I had on my computer. For those close to me, you should know how music is kind of a big part of my life but God just wanted me to let it go. And so i did! I feel so happier now that I have given it up. It was my commitment to God that I would give my life to Him from then on.
I just want all of you to remember that God is and always will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Even when you think He isn't there, He is. Always there to listen to you. What I'm saying here is simple, God is always with you so never feel alone or unloved because He is there.
That's it. =D. Have a happy new year you guys! I pray God will bless year 2007!"
haha well yup that's what i wanted to say. the two big events! oh yes and the people, my friends and just everyone who's been there for me through any point of time in my life, i thank you guys SOOO much. all little blessings haha. what has inspired me the most this year are the people around me. they might not know who they are but... well thanks for inspiring me haha.

2) make more effort to strengthen r/s with God
3) quit being a pushover (this brings over from last year)
