December is almost at its tail end which also signifies the end of 2019. The year has went by quite fast and so many things has happened this year. It has been a month of catching up with people from far and near but time does not permit to meet everyone. Perhaps 2020, I should take leave at the end of the year to have time to meet up with those returning from overseas, catching up with loved ones and shopping! It is the best time of the year to shop and I'm so sad that I don't have time to shop.
In the midst of the busyness of catching up, finishing work, completing SPTC assignments, there is that need to spend that extra time with God and this has been one of the greatest challenge. When you're tired and you're mind is not with you to still commit that time with God. This sacred moments are crucial yet it has been quite a challenge to dig in but I know that the busier it gets, the need to lean in to HIM becomes greater.
I'm going to try to do that from now and the whole of 2020. To lean in, to press in, to stay in the presence of God. O Heavenly Father, keep me forever close to You. Help me to keep my eyes on You and my heart in alignment with Yours always.

 |
| The weekend right after 12.12 and I must say it is a good time to shop with the additional 12% on top of the store discounts. Mum and I went for a morning walk at Tasik Permaisuri followed by shopping at MyTown to The Curve and finally to One Utama. She is my best shopping partner. O well, activity partner in general. Maybe, I should do another holiday trip with her! |
 |

 |
| We went looking for shoes and a visit around the mall. It doesn't take much to be happy! |
 |
| Love this couple. Interesting how we've become such great friends. I really think the reason we're close is because we have God. Work friends are fun but until and unless we can share about what Christ is doing in our lives and appreciate that, it's quite hard to go any deeper. So thankful and blessed that they came down to KL and what a miracle to see Daniel all well. Praise God for His miraculous hand upon this family. |
 |

 |
| Last Friday of the year! Great to be able to catch up with this ah moi for lunch. Interesting how our lives cross path and we've been friends since. Again, because we have Christ as a common factor. |
