New Year 2012

Woohoo! It's new year! You know, I'm such a confusing girl XP During Planning Retreat last year (2011), i kept referring 2011 as 'last year', which by right should be 'this year'! and during Committee Meeting this afternoon, i kept referring 2012 as 'next year' instead of 'this year'

I guess for a moment i couldn't wait to by past time, and for another moment, i couldn't catch up with the time hahaha!

ANYWAY, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!!!!! :D

                     

Yesterday was Watch Night Service and today (1.1.12) is the first Sunday of the year! It was really tiring to stay up late to count down and wake up early for the service. but anyway, i started my new year by going to Goldcoast to watch the first sunrise of the year with Michelle, Xin You and my dear. Will update about the first sunrise more when i get the pictures XP

Anyway, this year would be a bigger challenge to me than last year, as i have more responsibilities everywhere.

Well, let's start with family. 

Though it is not obviously stated, but I'm considering myself taking up more responsibility in taking care of my parents and attending to their needs. As this year's church theme is to Focus on the Family, i would hope that i can also spend more time with my family, building a closer relationship with my family through a closer walk with God. :)

In church, 

this will be my fourth year serving as president of MIYF.

But, MIYF will be incharge of more and more programs that will be carried out in church. But through all these plannings, we could gain experience in cooperating and giving supports to one another. I would also hope to see the youth grow in spiritual maturity as well as increase in numbers :D Other than that, Jun and I will join Disciple course next year (like finally!) hahaha!

In school (Sekolah Sri Sedaya), 

i would be teaching Music Year 1 and Year 2. Gonna be a new thing to me as there is a change in syllabus.

I would also teach Mandarin Year 2, Mandarin Year 4 and Mandarin Year 6. Yeah! See that, Year 6!

That is really one of my worries now. How would i ever be able to communicate with them? I'm better off communicating with the lower primary school students. But, i'm just going to go all out trusting in God to guide me through this challenge :D

I am given new subjects to teach too, PE Lessons for Year 5 girls and Art Year 1.

Other than that, I am entrusted with a few leadership roles too, Head of Department for Music, Head of Acting and Dancing Club and Teacher Advisor for Speech and Drama Club.

I can see the responsibilities piling up for me in school next year, but I'm just going to close my eyes and let God lead me.

In my studies in Wawasan Open University, I have already finish off one year and I'm proud to say because it's not easy to finish XP I had my 2nd semester's exam but i have not look up on the results yet, not even sure whether it is out already or not.

But anyway, i got a letter that offer me 6 exemptions, and i have another 2 and half years to go!

Geez, sounds really long! But no choice, because I'm taking a different course than my diploma, so not much of exemptions can be offered.

This year, i enrolled in these 3 subjects - Fundamentals of Research and Statistics for Social Science (FRSSS); The Arts for Children in Language Learning; and Advanced Writing Skills for University Studies.

And i think the most interesting subject here is FRSSS, i felt that it's not so theoretical based :D

Next year probably will have lesser time for Jun & i to have our us time. Because we are still unsure of our tuition schedule and his studies is gonna get tougher too. Absence make the heart grow fonder yeah :) True love never fades.

and one of the very important thing for me to achieve is to really grow closer with God!

And I'm sure this year will be great because God will never leave me :)
