2008 had been a year of ups and downs personally. I had to meet ends with savings from my past employment and a little freelancing did help to tie up some lose ends.
In June this year, we welcome our second litter of puppies to find them leaving us one by one by 20 August. It was very heart breaking, especially, when I spent a lot of money bringing them to the vet hoping they would beat the wits.
Employment came in October when I was offer a 6-month contract with IPP Financial Advisory Firm. I hope to prolong my contract and to find another job to save up for the Hillsong conference in Sydney in July.
All these years, my Bday has been going on unnoticed, except having small celebrations in my cell group. However, I had a surprise this year whereby, I enjoyed a Peranakan Lunch at the True Blue Cuisine (Peranakan Restaurant), joined my friend's cell group and went to a buddy's home where we had a fabulous celebration. Although food wasn't plentiful, we enjoyed being on Radio Melody teasing each other, including those who phoned in.
This Christmas will go down memory lane as one of the most unforgetable one. Since FCBC is part of the Love Singapore Network and this year, My Hope Singapore was a big project in Singapore, I went to 3 such events, kicking off with the Prayer Meeting on 5 December. Coincidentally, this could be my last time serving as a vocalist in the main services and support events. Next year may be a year of Sabbath for me, either a few months, only God knows.
Two touching moments were carolling at Tanglin Mall with the Special People Ministry. When I was asked to help in November, I was quite hesitant. However, When I obeyed, God was really faithfully and it was a resounding success. To God be the Glory!!!
Going forward, may 2009 bring us more cheers and much, much more for us to celebrate about.
Till 2009, God bless.
