Time to catch up again on my journey of life. Life cant be boring unless you allow it to be. By faith, i booked a ticket to Melbourne in August’08 and manage to get my first trip to the land of Australia! Was definitely exciting about it. Spent a lot of time with Gin and Chris Pickering as they hosted me for 2 weeks! Not forgetting Agnes, Wendy aka Wei San aka Wu Bai’s sister, Alex, Yang Ji, Esther, Su-Ling, Mindy and those who were there during welcome dinner! THANK YOU very much for making this trip a very good one!
As 2008 is coming to an end. It also meant a time for thanksgiving. Since young, this was the way i was brought up. Be thankful and appreciate the things i have, i do not deserve anything i have right now.
Just a few particular items that is filling my mind now:-
1) Parents – who constantly praying and providing for me. Most importantly, releasing me without worrying during my holidays. hehe.. not many parents can sleep well when thier children is abroad for 2 weeks! Well Done Mum & Dad!
2) Siblings – who without fail make me climb up the wall when she never clean the room, who without fail annoyed me when he is glued to his monitor with computer games and not aware of what’s happening AROUND him & who without fail calling back from penang and talk for hours on the phone FOC! I love all 3 of you! Life would be boring without you all right??
3) Two friends who walked and held me up during my fall earlier this year. It was not easy but encouraged to know that you guys are walking with me. Its all about how I respond and not reacting to it. I know you are there when i needed someone to listen.
Thank You.
4) Gerard – My boss and friend. I thank God for sending him. A totally different working experience with a non-Malaysian employer. Well, not perfect. But 80% good!
And also many others to give thanks for, a healthy me, a non nagging grandparents, people who celebrated my brithday, people who has blessed me soooo very much – Wongs Family, Aunt Mei leng, Aunt Mag & Unc Loke ( My spiritual parents), Aunt Susan Unc Wong, Aunt Lily,…. etc
I remember i’d read this in some book but cant remember exactly which one. it says as we live our life, God takes snapshots of it. At the end of the day, when He put them together, it will be a whole Big picture of our Wonderful life. God makes all things work for good. When we go through really hard times, its also a part of the picture He wants us to have. Its a matter of how we perceive it.
I’ve been granted with lots of favor,. The path I chose to walk, the journey i chose for my life must not exclude YOU! It may seems narrow and the highway & short cuts is tempting, I know the big picture at the end of the day will be really awesome if I allow YOU to paint my journey.
Looking forward to year 2009, forgetting what lies behind, I am excited to see and experience what He has install for me me me!
