jiakang is finally blogging again! (:
so i decided that since it's the start of the new year i should at least try to revive my blog by writing the obligatory new years post (: wanted to do one of the quizzes and i did start..but got carried away by the first question and was too lazy to continue haha x.x so here's my answer (:
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Wow loads!! Started going to church regularly and truly having a personal relationship with God, worked at a kids playground and received pay (had to clean up pee and vomit in the process and try to host birthday parties for quiet one year olds to rowdy 10 year olds), went on holidays with friends alone (Gold Coast/Cairns - white water rafting, scuba diving, Florence/Venice/Pisa), learnt how to drive, played mini golf, went tandem biking, lived alone in london, did my own laundry, cooked my own rice, danced at a boat party down River Thames, wore a spag top, mooted in a mock legal trial, shared a classroom with people from all over the world, tried wing chun, went for a christian union retreat in the english countryside, skyped!!, repaired a broken friendship, received truly heartrending letters, and..started feeling for someone like i've never felt before ((:
this question got me into a very contemplative mood haha. then i started to reflect on all that had happened in 2009 and i realised how it had been a veryvery good year (: especially in comparison with 2008 (my archives are super emo haha) and i feel very blessed! think i'd have to agree with my friend and say..i'm filled with hope for the new year ((: let's hope it doesn't disappoint!
oh and here's a reminder to study hard, become more independent, travel more, be more filial, keep in touch with everyone back home, keep a good balance between love and life (haha), and most importantly..put God first in my heart and in the center of my life (: have a great new year everyone and take careeee <3
