my first entry for 2008!
WOW..
i'm going to be 17 ! going to be a big girl.. i prefer being 16.. still a secondary school student and yet a girl who gets have more freedom, more of my own opinion and thinkings.
i was looking through some of my entries in 2007 randomly. it brought a smile on my face when i saw entries like "mugging for o levels". somehow, i felt that studying is actually quite enjoyable.. it's consider QUITE as those memorising ones are not included. haha!
i had mixed feelings when i saw teens in uniform on the very first day of school. this is the very first time that others are schooling and i'm not. i even have the thought of getting my head buried in those books once again. haha. indescribable.

i posted some entries that i reflected on too. like my trust in God, the times when God convicted me, how God lifted me up when i face discouragements, how God changed me in my character and perspective of life.
He blessed me with difficult people so that i can grow and know how to deal with such situations.
He blessed me with encouraging people who motivates me to do more for His kingdom.
He blessed me with genuine friends who corrected my mistakes and able to learn from it.
there are too many, too much instead, that i'm able to list them all out.
previously, i look forward to every sat as i can get closer to God.
as for now, i look forward to each day as i know that i can experience God if i placed Him in the centre of my life, getting closer to Him not only on sat, it's everyday.
[only one life, live it to the fullest]

a short update on my class chalet.
just a week ago, i had class chalet. really a big thank you to the organisers as they really put in lots of effort in it.
i was really very glad to see my classmates once again.
the times when we bargain with our teachers over the overloading of hws.
the times when we did cheers for the sports day.
the times we chiong together for exams.
i still remember all these vividly.

we shared about our recent lives. enjoyed listening to their amusing encounters for the past 2 months under the bright moonlight. a good combination of people and atmosphere. we did countdown together with a super big bunch of people. having people ranging from 4/1 to 4/6. haha! had a heart-to-heart chat with meiying at the beach after that. though i was quite sick, i still love spending time with them.
4E1'07- it's a class that i will never forget.

i was reminded of God's love as i was waiting for the sunrise. i was once like an empty glass bottle adrift in the open sea, it's God that get me out of it and gave me a purpose in life. i won't be where i am now without Him. no doubt that it's God who filled my life.
i will never never exchange His love with anything.

2007 was full of setbacks and problems. the past val once had the thought of giving up as all these were suppressing her. she isn't someone who has determination, what's more confidence. but God gave her opportunities, He placed her in ultraman and build up her confidence. for the present val, she believe that more is yet to come, more difficulties and challenges ahead.
FEAR NOT because she has God with her. let's see how God is going to mould her into a better val. (:
2008 shall be an exciting year.
