2011
A year that saw Muammar Gadaffi die, Terrible Tsunami in Japan, saw many Westerners lost their jobs, the Apple King dead, North Korea's Country Head died, Famine, Flooding and Bersih 2011. It is also the year where the war between US and Iraq ended, Palestine admitted into UNESCO, Harimau Malaya won Gold Medal in Sea Games, and my sister Graduated from her MBA.
Looking back I just realised how much I complain about work. Still do....However, my outlook of work has since quite change realising that the main reason of my existence is to glorify HIM. If you would ask me how I would summarise the year 2011 well the one word I would use to describe 2011 is humbling.
A year that I am brought back to ground zero. After all the achievements, positions, titles and knowing the ins and outs of whatever I do, I am brought back to a place where I know nothing, no experience, the youngest as well as 'no voice'. Learning to rely on HIM more than my own knowledge and experience.
It has been the year of 'First' of many things as well.
My First - Permanent Job (Stated in Dec 2010)
My First - Mandarin Class

It was really heart warming to see young children grow as well. Am really glad and proud of the young ones in class that managed to memorise the whole psalm 23 in less than 40 minutes. (Some as young as 9 years old) Saw them grow in size too (esp the little ones).
A year where ICC took new steps as well. We commissioned our first Pastor and also moved into our new premise.
It's quite funny as the tough times are also usually the most unforgettable times. I am thankful to God for the ups and downs through out the year. He has indeed been faithful even when I am faithless. 2 Thess 3:3 ' But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.'
Looking forward to the adventures in 2012.....
Up next - Exam Results in Mid Jan, CNY, AML Certification Feb, Hong Kong Work & Leisure Trip Feb and loads more to come :)
