so, it's the end of 2008. it was a rather eventful year, but i'm really really glad 2008 happened. a year of big changes, a year of unexpected changes, a year of realisation, one hell of a year 2008 was. first, the big change of going to melbourne, a whole new country, a whole new place to settle into, a whole new school, a whole new environment. didnt know what to expect, but the year turned out perfectly fine. new friends, those wonderful friends, with the awesome times we all spent tgt. just being there for each other, what i love most :) 

but of course, which year doesnt come with its ups and downs? there were the ups in 2008, but there were definitely the downs. the bouts of homesickness that hit, just missing home so damn much. but i'm so so glad that i got through it all. with God of course :)

and now i'm back, no words can describe how glad i am to be back here. and being back with crossover, i can say, this has been the time of my life. i guess i never really realised how much i love crossover, until i came back this trip. crossover's such an important aspect of my life, i'm so thankful God has placed me in this fantastic ministry, with the people i respect and love so so much. the past two and a half weeks spent with you guys, were amazing. you are the ones i know i can count on, the ones i know who would never leave me, the ones whom i can really call friends. not just friends, you guys are like family! corny, but true. you have all become like brothers and sister :) nothing can describe how much i love you all. 

so this year comes to an end, i'm awaiting what 2009 has in store for me. it's another new year, full of changes, and i'm pretty excited, excited abt what's abt to come (:

and just reading sam's blog, i cant help but highlight what she typed.

and i couldnt agree any more with that. God has done so much, so so much, i cant keep count of them, but He has done great things, and i truly truly thank Him for everything He's done, and everything He's given me (:
