twothousandandfive.
i realise i haven't been blogging properly these days, so this will probably be a better read than random song lyrics and whatnot. haha :)
i cannot sum up this year in one generic word. like awesome. or horrendous. or weird. that would prove to be too difficult, because of the myriad emotions that are evoked whenever i look back at the year gone by.
this year, i moved to a new country, experienced unadulterated freedom, gained independence, and learnt to stand on my own two feet. i enjoyed my course in monash, made wonderful new friends, fell in love, went to church, joined a cell group for the first time, and experienced God in more ways than one. i learnt how to use the washing machine (!!), dryer, and microwave; mastered the skill of making batter for our fish fillets (haha), cooked pasta in bulk, and ate sandwiches and indomee everyday till i got sick of them. i remain ashamed of my subpar culinary and ironing skills, but i loved the feeling of being able to take care of myself, of truly growing up, and being self-reliant. even if i was no bree van de kemp.
of course, it wasn't always rainbows and butterflies. things that went awry, things which are too painful to mention here, things which turned my life into a living nightmare.. all these unpleasant things remind me of how much i still have to grow, how much stronger i need to be, and how much more there is to look forward to next year.
above all, i thank God for all His provisions. i thank Him for putting important people in my life, for bringing me closer to Him, for every single miracle, blessing and hope He has given me.
exciting, glorious, wonderful, wild, painful, miserable, hilarious, nerve-racking, slothful, romantic, exhilarating, fun-filled, competitive.. the list goes on. for the fond memories, i relished every single moment of it. for the nightmares and hurt, i can only hope that i will never have to relive them again.
at present i suppose things are not as rosy as i would have liked. but i am so glad for a special, wonderful person in my life, who tries so hard to comfort me, tide me through tough times, and who tries so hard to make me happy. thank you for being here for me :) ilu*
owell, have a blessed new year y'all.
