Highlights of 2007
Last 24 hours before 2008 kicks in. Better treasure what's left of this year when I'm still sub-30:
1. Climbed the Mexicans Pyramids (Pyramid de Sol and Pyramid de Luna). A conference trip led to unbelievable sight-seeing in the largest city in the world. A whole new perspective. The 26-hour flight was totally worth it.
2. Visited Shangri-la. The temples, the people, the air (or lack of it), the hospitality...the sheer knowledge of you stepping onto this famed destination is...priceless.
3. Grandma passed away. One of the 3 key women in my life, one of the strongest women I've even seen, one of the most faithful Christians standing firm in the Lord's word. "Jesus bid us shine...you in your small corner and I in mine." - Her light shines forth still in my darkest nights.
4. Bowling a memorable 244 at Yishun Safra, 231 at Orchid Country Club, winning a silver on behalf of my organisation...who dare says I wasted money on the balls sitting in the boot of my car? I hope the best is yet to come
5. Running the SC half-marathon. 1st attempt. Did it in 3 hours. The pain was terrible, the experience at the finishing line...inexplicable
6. 1st overseas trip with Jo (and Ad) at Bintan. Jo cried when he saw an elephant stepping over me in one of the shows. The beaches, the funny ping-pong games, taking the speedboat to the mangroves...we loved them all
7. Getting promoted...yet there's much confusion and anticipation at this juncture of my career, which is inadvertently tied to my personal and family life. But "count your blessings, name them 1 by 1." the Lord will lead, as he has always done so
30 years old - here I come!

In order not to let this year goes past in blank, i have a reflection/ expenditure book. Yes, guan, that's the book you gave me. I already have a organiser so will use it for the above purposes. I started using since 7/1/08 and its has been very useful. Why, my heart ache whenever i see the book cause past 2 days i spent $22 a day to take cab to work. I think tis book will really help me not to take cabs. haha
