God's giving me a newness to life.
He put me through an eventful year where I was blessed with love and care and experienced matters that have never ever crossed my path. I am thankful as I can proudly announce that I have benefited from them.

God showed me people.
More importantly, he guided me with my interactions with these people.
Be it positive or negative relationships, I was there to face it and dug a whole load of life experiences out of it.
I have learnt how to be tactful. I have also come across multiple facades that people carry.
Most importantly, I think I've learnt how to be a hypocrite.

However, learning how to be a hypocrite does not mean that you have to be one.
It equipts you with the necessary EQ-skills to deal and handle people.
Had a very meaningful conversation with Joseph on the bus yesterday about Christianity.
Although Christians are not suppose to be immersed with worldly issues like that of idoletry, adultry etc, we cannot help it but say that we are, in fact, living in this real world here and exposed to the vices of this world. However, that does not infer that we have every right to be indulging in these negative acts... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

God put me through various trials.
I stood alone in some of them.
It was tough. There were many times when I wanted to break down but I fought back tears knowing that God had his reasons for putting me through whatever that I was experiencing.
Of course, I wished that I could spill out everything. However, that didnt mean that my problems could be solved once and for all. Thus, I didn't see a need to bring up my problems.

You know, at times, I thought I was doing the correct thing... ... ... only to come to realisation that I was only deceiving myself and aggravating the situtation.

Ma's right.
She's always right.
I may not agree with her at times. However, I cannot help but saying that somehow, eventually, I will end up having to agree with her because SHE IS REALLY RIGHT. Admit defeat.
Ma's pro. Look up to her.
