~ just the two of us ~

Well, let's see.. the year 2007 has been quite a significant year for us.. One word to describe: changes. Mainly was due to our shift to Singapore. Here are some happenings during the year for the both of us.

March
We tendered in our resignation together. Yeah...together. It felt good. It was a long awaited one anyway. Hee hee... Two days after the announcement of the plant shift to Senai was made.. But well, it wasn't because of that, that we're leaving...

April
- Our last day of work finally came. Though it felt good, but at the same time, I can't deny the fact there were still some attachment to the bond that I had with my colleagues, and yeah, I still do miss those times we shared at work. And the breakfast, lunch, tea-breaks we had. :
- After that, we were off to Jakarta for a short but needed break. We really lived in luxury for the 5 days we were there. Hehehe. Very blessed as we had our accomodation in a 5* hotel paid for by my dear aunt who has been working there for the past 11 years. God bless her.
- Started work in Spore end of April. A big change, and some adjustments for us...Some of the reasons why we chose Singapore...

May
We got ourselves new phones (with new lines of course). His, a Nokia E65, mine, a Nokia N73.

June
We got our notebook too. Yeah, ever since we came here, have been buying all these electronic gadgets. Kekeke.

August
- Changed my blog name to New Beginnings.
- Celebrated our MMU Christian Fellowship 10th Anniversary at Mahkota Hotel.
- Jason got himself his Sony Play Station Portable, PSP.

September
- My babe got me a Sony MP3 to keep me company while I run. Thanks darling!
I wanted an Ipod though. :P

October
- Got ourselves the long-awaited camera, Nikon P5100. It has not disappointed us so far.
- My first ever long-distance run competition. Ran 10km at 1 hr and 8 mins. Woo Hoo!

November
- Celebrated our first wedding anniversary. Time flies...
- Holiday-ed in Bali as part of our first anniversary celebration. Two trips this year already. :)

December
Officially became a permanent resident of Singapore on 5th Dec 07.

So, what's in store for the year 2008? I have not made resolutions since I was young because I always tend not to keep it. But anyway, this is what I have in mind for the coming year.. which I would not call it resolutions lor....

Spiritually
- To grow into a deeper relationship with God and be well-rooted in His Word. This means being disciplined in doing my quiet time, hehehe...
- To serve within my new oikos here, namely, my cell group and church members. :) Hoping my cell leader doesn't read this phrase. muahaha.

Physically and Mentally
- To lose the 5kg I put on ever since I stepped into Singapore. (Just check the amount of blogs I wrote on food here. Amazing!).
- Definitely joining in the Great Eastern Women's run. This time, my personal target would be 10km in ONE HOUR. Hey, 8 mins difference is a lot ok, especially when you're running the last 1km or 500m to the finishing line. :P

Career-wise
- To do well. :) *ahem*
- Changes will be mostly on Jason, as he will be studying, come Aug 08. Praying that he will do well. :)

Family-wise
No plans to start one right now. Perhaps, next year, 2009. :) But if by God's grace, we do have one, then we'd both be more than glad to have a babe.

I guess I pretty much covered all aspects of my life. Am quite excited for this year as we're expecting some changes too.. Not major ones like in 2007, but well.. some.. Still praying for His directions and plans upon our lives.

Have a blessed weekend everyone!
