New Year

One year has passed.Just like that.

I look back on the events of the past year as 2006 comes to a close.

January

Was back in Ipoh on hols. My English teacher during my school days passed away due to lung cancer. I was a little sad, due to the fact that we kept in touch over the years since I left school.

February

Start of classes

March

Had my mid semester exams and then holidays for 1 week.

April

Classes restarted for the last lap for the semester. Me and my family ended the month on a slightly sad mode. This is due to the death of my grandfather in Ipoh. Sometimes I still regret that I wasn't be able to see him as he wished. I miss him so much...tsk tsk. The up side, he got saved and knowing that he is now safely in God's hands has somehow helped a little.

This month also was the start of my assignment due dates and exams for some of my subjects.

May

The pain of losing my granddad was beginning to take its toll on me both physically and emotionally. Sook Meng sent her condolences all the way from the UK after we talked on MSN.

The pressure intensifies as more assignments are due and all the presentations that were coming up.

June

Exams!!And the FIFA World Cup starts in Germany.I was only able to watch the opening ceremony and the opening match with my cell. That's due to the need for me to study for my finals.I missed ALL the matches at the group stage.

July

I watched the FIFA World Cup Final which was held in Berlin on July 9. I was supporting Italy since France eliminated Brazil (my favourite team) in the quarter finals. And my team won!!YAY!!=)

Got my results..which turned out to be much better than what I expected. Classes start for the new semester.

August

All the assignments starts to pour in.It's as if the whole world has just came down crashing onto my shoulders.But again, I only relied on God to get me through this period, and He did.

September

Steve Irwin DIED. That piece of news came as a shock to me.The Crocodile Hunter was killed by a sting to the heart from a stingray while filming his documentary off the coast of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia.

Needless to say, I had my mid semester exams again. Finished all my papers in 2 days and had holidays for 2 weeks.

I had the chance to fly all the way to BALI!!It was my first time to Indonesia.I enjoyed myself immensely even though the visit was only for 5 days.

And the start of my assignments marathon again.

October

Finished all my assignments and presentations at the end of the month.

November

Had to study for my finals, but I still managed to celebrate my birthday with a small group of friends.Was supposed to celebrate with some others, but the combination of heavy rain and the need to go home to study stopped my feet cold. =)

Went back to Ipoh after my exams ended to spend some much needed time with my family.

December

I passed all my subjects. Thank God for it.The news of Saddam Hussein's execution didn't really surprise me even though I am against the death penalty.

The 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Taiwan unfortunately screwed up some of the underwater internet cables in the area. So, internet connection has been at a crawl over the past couple of days in most parts of Asia (including Malaysia).


I am writing this post as I now watch the display of fireworks from KLCC right outside my window.As the world ushers in the year 2007, my prayers go out to the people in conflict areas around the globe. I pray that God will bring His love, peace and healing to the people affected.

I realize that I am growing a year older, a year more mature in the Lord and another year closer to Him.I avail more and more of myself to Him as I start another year and close a chapter of my life.

And for Siew Kwan and Sook Meng, do know that I am praying for the both of you even as you go through your exams.Hang on in there, sister in Christ!=)
