2011 is a Year of
1) Many Weddingsss.......
你的"kang tao"很多hor!!!.... That's what my mother always nagged about when I tell her I've wedding dinners and I can't be home for dinner again.
As I was collating those photos. I was pleasantly shocked that I have attended 14 wedding dinners/holy matrimony in a year. I know you might have more than that. Seem like the year of Rabbit is a good year of tying a knot. I'm really happy for those who are starting this brand new exciting journey with their love ones.
It was also Derrick's debut to coordinate 2 weddings in a year for Mayce/Victor & Daniel/Peiling.
2) Career Breakthrough
"Make hay while the sun shines!!" That's what my Relationship Manager, Timo always tell me. This kinda a revelation for me.lol....coming from the mouth of a "joker" in my office.
If change is the only constant thing in life. This would be so applicable to the banking industries I am working in. But still, I am extremely thankful to God for allowing me to taste His goodness in the area of financial increase. Though I am not the most aggressive, not the most knowledgeable and neither the top of the top in the bank, but I constantly experience God's grace and favor upon my life. This year itself, I have 2 pay increments and also more than 200% increase in my annual salary compare to 2010. I know deep down in my heart this can only happen because of His grace and mercy.
Come next year, I am really apprehensive how my career in DBS will progress. Given that I am pregnant now and I'm going away for maternity leave for 4 good months. Nevertheless, I will just trust the Lord again, try my best not to complain too much and believe for a good harvest in 2012. *** Stay positive***
3) Heartbreaks
Not really a year of heartbreaks. But early this year, I did experience one of the most heartbreaking moment of my life. Miscarriage/Mis-abortion...... =(
Thinking about it again brings tears to my eyes. It's a hard truth to digest and accept. I remember crying for days. Sleeping with tears for nights. Praying really hard for miracle to happen. Month of May had been my longest and toughest months of all.
During one of my phone counseling session with Pastor Aries, he asked if I am angry with God? My immediate respond was "Why would I be angry with Him? If I am not a believer, thing like this could happen as well." Felt ministered by my own answer.
Thank God for good friends around me who not only pray but fasted for me. Thanks for all your love and encouragement. =)
4) Getting Pregnant again
I never thought getting pregnant again will be easy. 3 months after the fateful incident , I found myself pregnant again. That what we always confessed "God will turn my mourning into dancing."
Today marks my 19 weeks of pregnancy. Baby gender remains a mystery and I am so eager to find out the answer after my detailed scan schedule 2 weeks later.
I am so excited to see how Baby Thong look like. Excited to feel his/her first kick. Excited to start a family with Derrick. Excited about motherhood. What kind of mother will I become? Crossed my finger and pray that I will be who God wants me to be.
Loving every moment of my pregnancy progress
5) Building a Love Nest
"Woah".... Coupled with preganacy, we are also coping with another major milestone of our lives. Our very own Arise and Build.
Shopping for electronics and furniture with this "big belly" was so draining yet fun and fulfilling. It's good thing that Derrick's meticulous and detailed personality helps to look out for any oversight as well as securing better deals. And my "chin chin cai cai" personality helps to quicken all those tiring process. hehehe.
Looking forward to every single day!!!
6) Friends who make a difference in my life.
So many things happened in the last 2 years of my church life. I do wish I have gotten over it. But sometimes I still wishfully hope all those events never happened before. Both of us choose to stay faithful to church simply because we still trust the leadership and it's a way to show our gratefulness to the church who has transformed our life.
To be truthful, I still felt so aliened in the new zone after 2 good years of transferring. But I got to say Pastor Aries is one of the most dedicated, personal and sincere zone pastors around. (lol..derrick can do a good impersonation of him)....I often tell Derrick that I wish I have known him earlier.
As I'm typing this post, iTunes is also playing 周华健- 朋友. Despite all these, I am glad that God place good friends around me. Friends whom both of us grew up with. Friends who went through the same fight and stayed through. They are none other than the "Alumni Cg" or the so call "Perfect 10"
Thankful to every single one of you Audrey, Serena & Kenneth, Karen Chia & Keeliang, Karen Yeo & Daniel...... I don't know how life would be like without crazy friends like you guys!!
Looking forward to many good years to come.
7) YOU!!!
I often questioned him
"What do you think you will be doing now if you did not end up marrying me?"
"Do you think we will be together if I have not given you the 25 hours watch?"
"Do you think you have a wife or girlfriend right now if we are not together?"
hahahaha.... all these questions simply pissed him off when I insisted an answer from him. 你可以不要再烦我吗!!
But I am really keen to know how life would be like without me.I am imagining that you will probably will be so bored at home doing nothing, going straight home after work without any exciting programs, spending your weekend in church and playing soccer only, eating alone at food court and taking mrt home all by yourself and You probably still single because I say so!!!
Hehehehe.. aren't you glad you found ME??
On the contrary.... I am glad I found you instead. That's what I imagine myself to be if I have never ever met you.
Thank you darling for a wonderful 2011.
Looking back at my last post of 2010.... my resolution for 2011 then was
1) Baby making year.(Achieved)
2) Home constructing year (Achieved)
3) Career prospering year (Achieved)
4) Ministry rebuilding year (Finger-cross... I might need a lot of help on this)
I pray 2012 to be a year of
1) Giving birth to healthy and adorable baby thong
2) Being a loving parents
3) Prospering in both of careers
4) Spending quality time with our love ones
5) Loving God more each day
Cheers and Happy New Year to all !!! I hope more blogs will revive in 2012 as well. hehe!!!
