SO. it’s been awhile. i haven’t felt the need to blog and actually every time i read old blogs i periodically find myself explaining why i haven’t blogged and blah blah blah.. i told myself not to type that. not to explain my lack of blogging cos honestly, who’s even reading? or, even if a million people are reading, it’s my blog and it’s my right to blog whenever i want (or don’t) isn’t it? haha i’m weird.

this year has been a whirlwind. rushing through the last few projects, sleepless weeks, making super close friends, graduating. then there was the traveling, oh how i love the traveling. batam build, chilling in krabi, church camp in melaka, missions in the philippines, diving in tioman, diving in komodo, missions in kalimantan, KL for the women’s conference, and i’ll probably be in tioman again in october, and the family’s gonna be spending Christmas in Lembeh.. i love this traveling lifestyle. LOVE. IT. i can’t imagine what it’d be like being stuck in singapore forever and not ever having trips to look forward to. 

and now i’m starting on another phase of the year. (how can one year be so short but have so many phases?!) INTERNSHIP. yay! PTL that both Chuan and I have miraculously gotten internships of our choice. My story’s kinda insane. Before i left for Mt H, i had an internship position secured, but when i told them i needed to take leave in december for a family trip, they turned me down. So i was jobless, and rushed around trying to get another internship. The second job i secured lied about the pay, and instead of the salary i was expecting, i was only going to get $500. so i thought, you’re irrelevant to my field of study, you’re paying lowly, i have to bring my own gear…. no. i spent another 2 weeks looking for an internship, and a company related to PR was offering me $800! i thought that was God’s way of saying “this is it”. BUT…. I got an email from O and that sealed the deal. it’s THE biggest advertising firm in the world! 

It won’t pay much, the hours are insanely long, but i’m so excited to start work cos i can’t wait to begin to draw from the wealth of experience and lessons this company will give me. it will also look SUPER good on my resume. i am wordlessly excited for monday :)

God’s been so so so good to Chuan and myself.. we really thank God for His hand over our lives and every time we look back through the year, we are always amazed by what God has been doing and what He is STILL doing.. 

there are 3 months left to the year, and i have so so much on my plate. there’s planning youth camp, executing and planning Flea for Freedom, there’s my cell (which needs to grow more!), there’s music ministry, there’s girls’ ministry, there’s my cell’s batam mission trip in nov to be planned, there’s the GoP book drop to be planned and executed… and throughout all that madness, there’s the beauty of being able to sit in my room on the lap of God and know that He’s at the eye of the storm. 

2011 has been quite a ride, and we’re only 3/4 done :) i’ve got SO much to thank God for.. so so much.
