Happy CNY! No mood tho...... Don't worry its not cos of ns or any personal problem. Just don't feel like it, the same as Christmas. Somehow have a feeling that this year won't be so easy or straighforward as I first predicted. Nankurunaisa, with God to guide the way. Whee here ends the short post. Off to visit the people on my moms side!

And so its over... Driving test that is! The amazing thing about it all is how everything fell into place so nicely. I guess putting it in point form would make it easier to see. 1. We were scheduled for testing in the afternoon (its easier at that time compared to morning because of the traffic) 2. My instructor finally praised me and encouraged me to pass when I went for my warm-up before lunch. He said he took extra care of me cos he knew I had the heart to learn, learnt fast, and was humble enough to accept his teaching. 3. Only 5 out of 15 of us were allowed to take the test, and people were chosen randomly. It so happened that I was chosen. At that time I knew I was definitely going to pass, as I could see everything fall into place. 4. There were 3 testers, and the order of people going for the test determined which tester you went to. In the end I got the best (lenient) tester! 5. While driving traffic was surprisingly heavy, but it seemed that my senses were at their peaks fo...

Sorry.... Actually meant to write this post a week ago, but had no time thanks to the busy schedule. Once again, I thank God for the great things he's done in my life. This driving course of mine is finally coming to an end, and I can confidently say that I'm quite a safe driver, and can drive a large vehicle with not much of a problem. Passed my height and lashing and parking tests, and all thats left is my final exam. The TP test, which includes about 30mins+ of driving and parking. Probably will pass it within the week if nothing goes wrong. Stay out! Besides that, I've already missed 2 DTS sessions, which makes me ineligible to participate in it any more, so I'll probably go look for more things to do. Perhaps helping out in BB would be good. Oooh ooh and Daryl did well for his Os! Happy happy. His first choice will be NAP Biomed Science course. Good for him. To all who got their results back... Everything happens for a reason. Lift your results up to God and let Hi...

Read through my entire blog worth of posts for the previous year, and its heartwarming to see how far I've gone. Once again I'm spreading my wings and going further than before. I've got approximately 2 weeks of driving course left, time really flies. Just yesterday I drove really really well, and I was pretty happy about it. It was the best I've ever driven during the course duration. Praise and glory to God of course. Next week is going to be quite hectic: Height and Lashing Tests and Parking Tests coming up, as well as special skills driving, which will be quite cool IMO. Hope I pass these tests as well! Nothing much more to update for this week, except that planning for YE is sort of done. We've got a lot of things to iron out still, but the cell group structure is up, and we're gonna start off with something simple... Won't spoil anything for YE members though.

Happy new year! Its been a year worth forgetting. So many new obstacles have appeared, some already passed, and yet more to overcome. 365 days... A tenth of them spent in turmoil, another tenth in loneliness, yet another tenth in anguish, crying out to God. The remaining 70% was spent reminding myself of the other 30% that had already passed. But I guess I exaggerate; after all, I am a better person after it all. I know who in this world are my friends, who in this world look up to me, who in this world enjoy me just being myself. Problems I face become nothing but ants under my stride. Skills I've picked up are becoming all the more relevant: ranging from driving, to calling people up, even to japanese and sign language. I begin to understand the problems faced by those of lower educational standard, have learnt how to treat them fairly, and have also become their nakama. The watchnite service yesterday put a song in my heart: "I trusted, kept on trusting Through the night of...
