All I posted was a lousy snapshot of 2006?
The end of the year passed by so quickly & busily that I feel like an empty shell going through the whole motion of it. The parties, the countdown, the back-to-work. It's truly a sign of things to come, a forecast that my year ahead is going to be a very hectic one. Before I look forward with renewed zest and hope, I decided I shall spend some time recollecting the past year.
Unfortunately, I don't know if it's dementia, but somehow, the year flew passed so fast I swear I can still smell the air of 2005. Nothing significant happened...Well, at least nothing significant enough to make me wanna write it, the moment the clock struck twelve on new year's day. Upon some brain-wrecking reflections, I've managed to recollect some events to write a decent entry. So, if I had to sum up my year in one word, it would be "new beginnings". Ok, that's two words.
Well, let's see...For starters, I left IMH and came over to my new workplace. A necessary stepping stone and a perfect work environment which allows me to work & study at the same time. I'm learning so much from this place which is really beneficial for my future. Slowly but surely, I'm beginning to see the path God is carving out for me.
At the start of 2006, I commenced my part-time uni studies. At times, I really felt like crap when I was struggling to hand up my assignments and having to drag myself for classes after a long day at work. Fortunately, I performed up to my expectations and survived my first year in uni! One more year to go...
In the middle of the year, I embarked on my writing dream...My chocolate-coated strawberries. Writing freelance is perfect for me because I get to keep my day job and I'm able to supplement my income to pay for my studies. It's a great feeling to be able to live my passion and help me discern if I should do writing as a full-time job.
And of course, this entry wouldn't be complete without the mention of the birth of a new ministry. Majesty Media is the next big thing happening is church and I'm glad to be playing a part in it. Look out for our first issue on Easter 07!
On the lighter side, I also had my beginnings as a driver...I'm finally able to sit in the driver's seat! Also, I've never been one to pay for concerts, but this year, I caught a whooping total of 3 concerts, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I must add.
A year of new beginning could not have happened without first saying the goodbyes so as I close this chapter of my life, I will hold close to my heart...
- IMH, my first workplace, which gave me a new perspective to life by showing me the hidden ones of the mentally ill.
- Maranatha, for being my second family for the past eight years. You guys will always have a special place in my heart. (Well technically, I'm still around. I don't mean goodbye literally...)
