Looking Back @ 2009; Ahead @ 2010

Well folks, I don't know about you guyz, but it's been an awesome 2009 for me! There's juz so much to thank God for the year that juz passed by, and hopefully 2010 will be more or less the same (although I wouldn't mind if it was better!).

The Word of God says that we should count our blessings, naming them one by one. Phew, I don't even know where to begin. This post will be as short and sweet as possible and not my usual-length posts, which some of my frenz/readers complain are "essays" *ahem at Yin* =p

Well here it goes then...

This year (and last year where applicable), I've been blessed because:

• Despite living away from home, I still had the support from family members like my aunt in KL, and the occasional visits by my relatives from JB
• My parents sort of "upgraded" my Honda Accord to a Honda CRV for my 21st b'day, making it my most expensive present yet =D
• I've had the privilege of getting to know many wonderful people in KL, some of whom I can call close friends who have blessed me with their company, insights and social support... you guyz know who you are =)
• I had 3 separate 21st b'day celebrations that I will remember for as long as my brain can store memory of them =D
• I enjoyed holidays with friends and family at local tourist hotspots like Tioman, Redang, Penang, Cameron Highlands, Genting Highlands, etc.
• I had the opportunity to serve in FGT in the transport and evangelism ministries; also established bonds with the youth leaders and pastors there >.<
• The gift of tongues manifested within me even greater this year, and I've never felt more Spirit-led
• I was given the chance to exercise my gift of encouragement on many occasions to different people I encountered (God juz works in so many ways to build us all up =.=)
• I had the opportunity to give back to the community when I donated blood to the local blood bank
• Last but not least, my hard work paid off when I passed Year 2! All the sweat, blood and tears shed were not in vain. Ultimately, all glory be to God Almighty, who is in control of everything!

Of course, there are many other little things to be thankful for, but as my brain's capacity is overloaded with medical information and jargon from 2 years of med school, this list will have to do.

2010 is a new year, and like all new years, resolutions are made. I've made some already, most of them confidential and hence shall not be stated here. Have you made yours?

To one and all...

Happy New Year!!!
