What a great and interesting way to kickstart the New Year. First and foremost, Happy 2009 everyone! =)

So, now I shall let you in on what happened on the 31st of December.

Woke up in the morning and played bball at the nearby bball court. Ages since I last shot a ball. Then went home and packed some stuff before going to grandma's place to have lunch. Took a peek at my cousins doing the game quiz which we were going to play in the night. Played the Wii while waiting for Bro to come back from sch then we went to TPY central to have a game of pool. It was just so crowded, mostly ppl who had a half-day off from work or the old uncles. It was 4.30pm by then when we went off the collect the b'day cake at Prima Deli and I rushed to Popular to get my reserved book, "How Starbucks saved my life". Bought some Famous Amos cookies on the way and got home before 5.15. Without much delay, packed all the BBQ stuffs in dad's car then off to my auntie's place.

Started the fire and bbq-ed the chicken wings first. Aunt's house had this countdown party going on and it was sorta fun. There were clowns, "ah guas" singing, karoke comp, games, costume comp. So sat there eating the stuff while having a good view of everything. Dosed the fire at about 9 plus then went upstairs to bath, settle down and we started the game! Its a small replica of those HK game shows and everyone enjoyed themselves alot. Even the maids got to play. 5 minutes to 12 and we proceeded to the living room to do the countdown. At 12 exactly, we blew the whistles and party poopers were "poop-ed" Took out the b'day cake since it was my grandma and aunt's b'day. So nice to have it on 1st Jan. Ate the cakes and continued with the games till 3 plus in the morning. Of course the uncles and dad played mahjong otherwise they'd suffered from extreme boredom. By the time we got home and was ready for bed, it was alr 4am.

All in all, it was a good New Year celebration.

Now, to welcome in a New Year also means to reflect on the year that passed and to set priorities right for the coming one.

I felt that God really showered me with His blessings in 2008, of course some unknowingly to me. I could sense that He will provide help for me when Im in trouble and He would somehow talk to me in my heart to advice me on certain stuffs. Im grateful to You my Lord for walking my journey hand-in-hand with me. Im not saying this just because I was blessed with the right solutions at the right time. God is really there. He has a greater purpose for ALL of us. Remember, greater purpose. What you think you deserve does not reflect what God should do for you. He does what is best.

So now to usher in the New Year with resolutions. Its a good way to set stuffs right. Well now, I hope I can learn more about the Gospel and about God, to know his teachings and apply it in my life. To appreciate everything He has done for me. Hmmmm....and also I hope to be more patient and understanding because I always seem to run out on both of these. Erm... to read more (Yeah I love reading now! =D) Be more fit (Gosh, time for a fitness plan) Push my academic studies from great to greater heights. And last but not least, to own another 2 more RC aircrafts. =P Well actually I alr have a plan to purchase 1 more aircraft body before CNY so it just means almost 1 WHOLE year for me to purchase another 1 more =)

Lucky for me, Ngee Ann is kind enough to start sch on a monday. But then again, for those starting sch tmr, it may not be a bad thing, since its Fri and everyone would be looking forward to the weekends. A good time to do another 1 more last min recharge before serious work kicks in.

Blah blah blah, Im off to catch my drama now. =P
