Hey! Its really been a long time since I last blogged haha hai, just felt the urge to express my feelings. I was considering posting on Tumblr but it felt lacking in privacy, besides, didn't wanna shove my feelings into other users' dashboard heh :S

Anyway, tonight the fact that 2011 had arrived had finally hit me. Haha was too busy during New Years, organizing sleepovers and cell outings, preparing for word and worship for cell, getting ready for school and stuff. I knew that a year had come and gone but the emotional part of it never really hit me till today. So this post will be dedicated to 2010.

2010. The year I officially left Temasek Secondary School. The year I joined Tampines JC. Made many new friends there. Dropped out of JC. Entered NgeeAnn Poly. Made many new friends here. Became a leader in sec sch cell. Became a member in poly cell. Made many new friends in cell. Turned 16. Fell in love with a girl who returned the feelings. Experienced deep overwhelming emotions. Got to know a friend better. Joined a poly committee. Dropped out of the committee. Understood the responsibilities of being a spiritual leader. Struggled with sin. Lost the struggle. Entered an all-time spiritual low. Got selected for church camp leadership. Heard God's voice in camp. Came out of camp victorious. Made a girl cry in camp. Made up with the girl. Eyecandy-ed a girl in her cell. Started messaging that girl. May be starting to fall in love again. Experienced the most packed and exciting 2-week holiday of my life.

Basically what I'm trying to say is, 2010 has been a year of great changes. God put me through a lot of situations and taught me many lessons. I made many new friends but old ones faded. It has been a year of great joy and deep sadness. It has also been a year of both closeness and distance from God. Even though I've experienced much and doubted God much, no matter what, God has still brought me through everything and here I am, in a new year.

God is faithful, and I am thankful because no matter what I went through, everything and everyone that happened to me has made me who I am now. So I just want to say: Thank you my Lord God, for bringing me through 2010. Even as I enter 2011, may Your presence continue to be with me.

There is a season for everything. I realized my season for immaturity has passed. May I grow in maturity even as I become 17.
