Highlights of 2010

It's been a crazy, crazy year, with regards to the many types of events rather than the hype. Beginning of the year was my final semester in uni. It was a rather tough time getting back to studying after 7 months of internship before that. But praise God that I did actually passed all my exams and graduated in June - yay!


I was supposed to go for a mission trip to Thailand right after graduation, but right at the same time my dad was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Stage 4. It was truly a huge blow for us as a family and the following 6 months were the toughest time I've ever lived through in my entire life. My dad went through 6 cycles of chemotherapy, which included a week in the ICU due to pneumonia, and by God's grace, he has been completely healed today! Throughout this time, I realized the importance of a family being together and going through every day trusting that the doctor has sufficient wisdom to treat the illness and believing that God has the power to heal. Now that I'm standing at the other side of the tunnel, I'm just amazed at God's ever-flowing blessings. Indeed, God was the strength of our hearts :) Besides that, I'm very thankful for all our relatives who supported us and helped us in every way. Not forgetting wonderful friends who prayed with us and stood by us every step of the way. Thank you :)


This year has also been a year I caught up with some high school friends whom I've kind of lost touch with since I left school. I'm very glad to have spent some time with them and catching up every now and then when we do land in the same timezone. Missing them already!



Another event that's worth highlighting would be the trip to India in early November. Joined a friend who had a pair of complimentary flight tickets to spare and off we went to discover incredible India! It was an eye-opener for me being in the northern side of India for about a week. Fortunately for us, the weather was really nice. As it was early winter, we enjoyed the climate of not sweating at all the whole day, in contrast with Malaysia. The majestic architectures were very impressive as well, especially the Taj Mahal. I'm so proud to say that I've finally conquered one of the 7th Wonders of the World! 6 more to go! :)


As for Christmas this year, I attended my first costume party! It was incredibly funny and crazy! Unfortunately, the details are P&C, but you can see how we dressed up, except for one person ;)


Right now, I'm job-hunting for my very first since graduation. Really hope to start working soon as I've accomplished my desired 6 months of post-grad break :)

With all that has happened, Year 2010 will definitely be a year that I'll always remember. But now, I think I'm ready for you, Year 2011!
Looking forward to a new year of life-changing experiences and God's daily molding :)

Blessed 2011 to all!



Let's turn the page.
