As I reflect on the year past, I realised I have a lot of things to thank God for. 2008 was in a sense, a year of milestones for me. I finally graduated with my Honors, I went back to London again [which is always a milestone for me], and...hmmm...I guess that's it. Oh well, I love to dwell happily on the littlest things.
Through all things, God has seen me through, especially the rough patches. School was not always a party, and there were tough moments which I thought I'll never get out of, but on hindsight, everything always turned out fine in the end whether I deserved it or not. I realised I was never in too deep of a rut to not come out of it victorious, which in most instances is a miracle in itself.
I would have to say that 2008 was pretty uneventful save for the rare moments of excitement but otherwise passed relatively quickly and without a hitch. Perhaps as age creeps up on me, time seems to pass more rapidly because I find that there are more things on my plate to busy myself with rather than sit around restlessly when I was younger and hoping time would pick up speed. It's scary to think that I'll be a quarter of a century old come October, but that's in 9 months so I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, although old age does seem a lot closer on this side of 2009. Nevertheless, I'm excited to kick off a new year with a fresh new slate which I'll hopefully not screw up on the way. Nothing like a fresh beginning to pen down some resolutions and goals:
1. Get my relationship right with God [always an ongoing process]
2. Pink hair
3. Get a job
4. Get an acoustic guitar
5. Start living healthily
6. Improve my bass and guitar skills
7. Visit London again
8. Finish reading my Bible
9. [This list will probably grow longer as time passes but for now it's all I can come up with off the top of my head]
