a lot of people say resolutions are just for fun. is it true?
I dun think so, especially this yr's a BIG, CRUCIAL year for me.
WHY?
1) My 1st full Year in NUS and ministry
2) crucial year in my personal growth in God
3)Big year to get my results right
4) A yr of character,fightback, faith n strength
so, i am looking forward to this new yr with loads of expectation for growth, results n fruitfulness!
so what am i looking for this 2009?
1) Greater intimacy with God by being more consistent in my prayer n reading of the word of God (no more excuses, esp next sem staying in hostel)
2) Higher capacity to keep my emotions in check by guarding my heart. when negative thoughts n emotions come, fill it with positive stuff with purpose n intent
3)Have a balance between hot-blooded aggression n cool-headed composure by slowing down when dealing with people, n do things with aggression n excellence.
4)better discipline and organisation in handling of things
5) stay balanced between God, studies, track n field training, friends n ministry
6) Closer friendship with cg mates n fairfield pple n of course also existing friends n being a blessing in their lives.
7) further growth of fairfield grp, in terms of number n quality
8) Greater capacity to serve God n CG
9) better financial management n completion of Building fund pledge
10) a tution assignment to help cover cost
11) a greater passion to win ppl for christ!
12) Greater desire to disciple n sheperd ppl
13) Constantly led by the Holy spirit n love of God
14)IF possible, obtain obtain a coaching license in football
15) Read more n extensively
Sounds like a lot, but really i dun wanna end 2009 as the same as 2008!
God as i lift these resolutions to you, Lord, u will organise n guide my steps. Lead me to greater growth, fruitfulness n strength for you glory n honour!=D
My good friends, i really hope we can work together to help fulfil each other's resolutions n keep other on track!=D
I REALLY DUN WANT ALL THESE RESOLUTIONS TO GO TO WASTE! ONE LIFE, ONE 2009 TO LIVE!

Updates
It has been a long long while since i last updated the blog. been busy with exams, singapore marathon and holiday in malaysia.
After a challenging battle in the exams front, finally could take some time off to prepare for my 1st ever full-marathon. was targetting for a 6 hr completion time, but did it in an unexpected timing of 4hr 50 mins. I thought it was pretty crazy and a big feat to do in sub 5 hrs esp it's the 1st time i am doing it. Really wanna thank God for this.=D
As i am typing this, i am now in my hometown with my mum, as we will be attending my cousin's wedding the next day(sat). looking back the past 3 weeks, have really been enjoying myself in terms of fun, relatives,shopping and food! I am really a very blessed man. Wanna thank God for such a wonderful time with my family and also all the shopping n food that my mum has paid for. Estimated amt spent: 700 to 800 ringgit( abt 350-400 sing dollars). new clothes(including 1 pink top), new slippers, new sandals, new shoes, a new watch and new sporting kit. what can i ask for? in addition, a tuition assginment coming in in 2009, what financial blessing i have received! what can i ask for from God? esp after giving an offering that i have never given before and being involved in building fund and serving Him?
of course in life, when there are good things, the not so good stuff will also come.fever last week, not so good NUS results(lower than my expectations). Looking at it, of course people will look at the not so good stuff. But i still wanna praise the Lord, as i knew it could have been worse and God has seen me through safely, especially in terms of my results.Fever have since recovered and back on track.
Looking back for the whole year, I do admit i have made mistakes along the way, in terms of time management, handling of relationships, carrying of image etc, but i am looking forward to 2009, reason being, it's a new start and i know it WILL and CAN ONLY get better!=D All the more, i still wanna serve God better and serve the fairfield guys n the cg better, loving people more and at the same time, studying n scoring better results, getting fitter for IHG soccer and be part of races with NUS X-country. OF course i can never forget n forsake time with the Lord, especially now being in hostel, no more excuses!wanna be more intimate with the Lord. In 2009, i also hope to improve myself in terms of seeing things in a bigger picture, living a balanced lifestyle and expansion of my mind and heart.=D
Things to do after holidays:
1) sort out hostel stuff
2) bid for my modules
3)get my textbooks
4)read n prepare for the modules involved
5)pray myself up for the new sem n year
Targets for 2009? next entry
meanwhile, happy holidays n have a blessed new yr ahead! jia you!=D
