It's been a while since I've blogged. Checking the dates I realise the frequency of blog posts occur on an average of one post in a month for the whole year of 2007! Well, personally, I love to write but 2007 has been an awesomely-BUSY year for me.
But as I reflect back on the year 2007 (that's my habit), I can begin to count the blessings. This year has been a year of depending on God for satisfaction and sustenance. Many a time I could have just chose to drop the tasks at hand and walked away, but somehow, the Holy Spirit would have none of that and I found myself learning more when I submitted to God. I've grown to recognise God's voice even more clearer this year and He's been faithful and even surprising me with some spiritual gifts which I never thought I'd deserve. Even until now, it still makes me wonder why God entrusted me with some things and events that have happened this year. I can only lift my hands to surrender my life to the One who gave His life for me first.
But aside from spiritual blessings... I have some physical blessings in the form of people. These few people have been around me for the whole year and somehow, when things got rough, one look at their funny antics and expressions, have helped me through some bad patches in life this year. They might be almost 10 years younger than me, but we manage to see eye-to-eye with most things and I count myself blessed to have their company.
These three people (from left) - - Kelvin Wong, Paul Mae and Sophira - - They are dear to my heart.
Kelvin is a real gentleman and he's really good around the girls because he doesn't act bossy, neither is he too macho to mingle with the opposite sex. The best is he's sensitive to a person's mood eventhough no one says anything. He's the first to notice a change in mood in anyone in the classroom. Not to mention he's handsome and athletic as well!
Paul Mae is the one who always wants to compete with me to see who says "Hi" to the other first. Most days she wins just because she starts shouting hi to me even before she gets down from her car, which in my opinion is kinda cheating. Don't you think so, Paul Mae? Some days, I do see her first, but I let her say hi to me first because I love to see her look so delighted that she beat me to it. For a 10 year old going on 11, she has the mentality of a 14 year old. Her expressions, words and intelligence are way ahead of her age. But I like it best when she hugs me. Because she's like a baby sis I never had =)
Sophira Chong... is ... is.... is..... someone I can't do without in the classroom. You can't miss her laugh and her smile because she's a happy-fun-loving person. Even if she gets emo it'll just be for a short moment and she'll be back to her hyper and optimistic self again. Which a trait I truly respect her for. Not to mention that she and I click very much out of school. She's only 15 and we're 10 years apart but I totally do not feel the age gap because she has maturity, a good head on her shoulders! I've never seen her cry except for one rare occasion and I always get the impression that one day she'll grow up and be a famous dancer/writer/graphic designer. I'll miss her terribly when she goes homeschooling because there won't be anyone to call me Ms. Catherineeey the way she does. Soph, if you're reading this... I miss you already!
Well, that's one post and one picture for tonight. Don't worry, I'm motivated to blog. So more posts and pics to come! Stay tuned!
