1. Australia! Aside from the scenic places and the nice weather, it also became the last time I ever saw my cousin Timothy. I thank God for the precious time that we get to spend together - I will forever hold them dear.
2. My birthday. It could've just easily been any normal day, but the effort and time people took to celebrate it makes it so special to me. It was the first time I ever had a package delivered to my house! Along with thoughtful presents and cards, and just the effort taken to spend time with me and to make me feel so loved.
3. The 16th Baptist Youth World Conference! It was quite an eye opener for someone who likes to hibernate in her room all the time, meeting so many different people from different parts of the world who shares the same passion for God (maybe even more than me? lol) So many memories made just over five days - staying with our generous host family who opened their beautiful home to us, playing games and doing reflections with my random bunch of family group, packing food together for Stop Hunger, and just singing praises to God with His people from 64 different countries in different languages - it was such an extraordinary experience. Of course it was made even more memorable by the SBC troop that I went with :) I was touched by stories of how God worked in other parts of the world and was humbled by the passion His people have for Him eventhough some of them were oppressed. I thank God for the reminders He gave me throughout the trip and this once in a lifetime opportunity :)
4. Krabiiiiiiiii. The awesomest trip with the awesomest batch evaaaaaa. Hahah. So glad to have made the trip with the 5 of them; missing those who couldn't come, but it was a crazy fun-filled trip nonetheless (not to mention money-consuming lol). But it was definitely the most adventurous thing I've done this year. *Crosses off 'travelling-to-another-country-without-family-members' from ze bucket list*
5. R.O.C. 3!!! What a ride. Still recovering from it. Lol. But it has been the most fulfilling journey with the CF-ers which I call family ever since I stepped into MMU :) I've learned so much, hopefully I grow from it and also that seeds be sowed in the hearts of the people who watched it. So privileged to have been used by God and also to work with each and every cast and crew who inspired and taught me much, especially the team of directors :) Don't have enough pictures from that day because my phone died before I manage to take a picture with everyone! (Reason #1279 why my phone is not-so-trusty) So these are the only ones I have..can't believe I don't even have one with the directors!!!
6. The youthssss. Including the youth leaders of courseeee. I love them to bits. They have always been family, enough said. Below are random pictures taken during the year :D
7. Serving the community. (Or more like the community serving me? Haha.) This year there were lots of opportunity given to me to serve the community especially in Agape. Earlier this year the CF visited the old folks during a CG outing and I got to know a very special lady called Rose ('just Rose', she said). She gave me advices (including 'find a good man and marry him...a good man who loves you...preferably before you turn 30' lol) and also shared her story with me. It was nice to be able to put a smile on their faces simply by visiting and talking to them :) During December, I got to visit the Agape kids for a day to chaperon the youths who have been going there for 2 weeks! Basically I was only there playing with the kids and doing nothing much hehe. The Agape kids came to SBC for the Sunday School Christmas party as well, where I decided to help out together with some of the youths :)
As you can see I'm not a very good collage maker. And of course there are many many more moments that were significant to me during the year that I didn't manage to take much photos of. But I just wanna thank God for His faithfulness and providence throughout the year. It has truly been a ride. Happy new year! :)
