What to say..

I know I haven't updated for ages.. yeah.. so what's been going on for the past 2 months? The following is the condensed version of events. Well, there's Hope Malaysia national convention.. Helped out with a wedding and Christmas service.. Then, to the disbelief of many who asked, celebrated Christmas in the jungle (ie Hutan Bandar JB) through the university students group survivor camp.. and as preparation 2 days before the camp (and also before UTM semester starts), also watched Remember the Titans, followed by some sharing. Of course, the night after the camp got Christmas BBQ.
Bought a new laptop at JB's PC fair.

Then, helped out with the East Asian Medical Students Conference (EAMSC) in Sunway. Helped mum made cookies for Chinese New Year, tried taking up some Mandarin, Hokkien, driving etc. Tired, been reminded of the need to slow down, especially after trailblazing Kuantan-KL-JB.

Overall reflecting on the year that has been, it has not been easy, with various challenges. Neither will be it be this year. Nevertheless, if one phrase sums it all up of the things which I have been through, the theme song for the above-mentioned wedding says it all - God has been faithful. Will not type any further, but look forward to share if the opportunity arises.

You Are So Faithful
by Bob Fitts


Verse 1
Like the sun that rises everyday
Oh You are so faithful, dear Lord You are faithful
Like the rain that you bring and every breath that I breathe
You are so faithful oh Lord

Verse 2
Like a rose that comes alive every spring
Oh You are so faithful, dear Lord You are faithful
Like the life that You give to every beat of my heart
You are so faithful oh Lord

Pre-chorus
I see the cross and the price You had to pay
I see the blood that washed my sins away

Chorus
In the midst of the storm through the wind and the waves
You'll still be faithful, oh You'll still be faithful
When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more
You'll still be faithful, You'll still be faithful oh Lord
