God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
- Reinhold Niebuhr, theologian

this maxim shall be prayer in difficult times.


thanksgiving
1) the first 5 days of 2008 were filled with loads of family fun because my uncles, aunts and cousins came back from auckland and chiang mai. last night, we had a bbq and i thought it was the best family gathering ever.
i got to have a better chat with stacy jiejie (my petite and pretty cousin in law) and found out how jude (another of my cousin in law) produced the 987 tv advertisement.
managed to strike up a conversation with madeleine (my cousin's girlfriend) too and she's really sweet, so unlike typical smu students. ha.

i was entertained by my little cousins and the bbq food was excellent! one of the best of all i have tried.
i love my extended family!

2) i thank God for having angie and deren work alongside with me on our sec 3 cell this year. after our meeting this morning, i feel ready and excited to guide our sheeps and help them soar in their youth!

3) praise God i managed to get CS100 registered as one of my subjects this coming semester! i heard CS100 is so popular and it's always hard to get.
this is the start of my minor in communication studies!


5 days into 2008, 360 days left to 2009!
let these days that i spend be glorious in the eyes of God!
