I am typing this last post for the year 2007 and the first post of 2008 coz it's 1145pm now and I should be finishing this post when 2008 has set in. At this moment, I am really multi-tasking.

I am watching the countdown on channel 5 and watching Tokyo Juliet on my computer, and talking to Xuanie online, and talking to Di on the phone...and typing this entry! WOAH!

THE COUNTDOWN ALREADY!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 everyone!!


Oh well...

The new year is here and I do hope that it would be a better year as compared to 2007.

As a reflection, I feel that many things have changed over the year 2007...

SCHOOL:
We got our A level results and went to various schools, while I got into NUS Business School, ended up struggling for the 1st sem coz I didn't organise my time well and didn't study hard enough, ending up with horrendous grades. It's going to be a tough 2008 ahead as I need to pull up my CAP by a lot! And at this point of time, I am discussing with Xuanie on our tutorial time slot for our GEM. People better not take the tutorial slot coz that's the only TIME slot I have! And that would mean i dont have any free weds...sads...Hopefully the no free wed will let me be more focused on my work and not let me waste my wed away! No more going out and wasting weds away!!

Looking back, school aint just about studying. I had loads of fun while studying and doing the projects especially for my MNO video project! Much as it was time consuming, I had fun and learnt lots while doing the project.

FRIENDSHIP:
Went for many camps like CampBlueBlood and got to know Akihito people! FOC 196 camp and got to know Dehuns people! KR FWOC and got to know Drackos people! YDP '07 and got to know YELLOW group people!

Well, I made many new friends. People from all walks of life, different schools, different countries and made new lifelong friends like Siao Er, Lixuan and Benedict, HuiFang, Yan Ling and Sara. And also keeping and enforcing friendships with KXFZ - Mel, Ziwei, Zhen, Mich, Weirdz - Zhen, Dianne, Az, Shaz, Sarah. Also, with the choir Seniors from MJ and NUS. It's been great knowing new people and going for caroling sessions with the NUSChoir people :)

It was also great getting to know brothers and sisters in Christ during the recent YDP '07 which an unfortunate event took place. But that brought our bond closer to one another, knowing and showing that we are all there for one another even though we are from Singapore or Malaysia or other countries.

SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING:
I should say I haven't been doing as much as my other brethren have. But I will try to go for Wed Bible classes from this year onwards! It's time to be immersed fully in the word of God! This YDP has shed much light to me on the importance of knowing the scriptures well and studying the Bible has to be as important as any other studies, which I have much neglected last year. I have made closer friendships and bond in church coz of YDP.

I rededicate my life to God and hope to be a better child of God :)

LOVE LIFE:
I didn't get into any serious relationships but with a few thoughts here and there. But guess I didn't have the courage to go and think further. We'll see how about it again this year. But, I am letting nature takes its course. I do pray for my friends as I see many break or get together. Things are complicated where matters of the heart are involved.

FAMILY:
Hmm...I haven't been really at home since school started coz have been in hall for most weekends. I do hope to go home more often next sem and really be a good girl. My bro is starting sec 4 already and he needs the most encouragement now. Hoping that he changes for the better! :)

The main aims for the year 2008 are as above. Of coz I am praying for the good health of everyone! And WORLD PEACE >.<

Jia you Rachel :)

*Phil 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me :)
