A Blessed Year

This is going to be a loooooong post of all my previous term stuff. I had a blessed year and  a blessed term and I hope the year ahead will also be good. I'm feel blessed bcos....

1) Speakers
I got a £50 voucher from amazon so I bought a really good altec lansing speakers. After that, Ding Jian bought a 17in macbook (Petronas sponsored £1000) and now my room is equipped to watch movie=) ...not that there's a lot of time to watch movie during term time but during holidays I watched quite a few movies=)

2) Mobile phone
I got a new mobile phone too=)

4) Brussels & Paris trip
When I first landed in Brussels and was boarding the train, a very unfortunate thing happened i.e. my wallet got stolen. Though it was unfortunate, I felt fortunate as I didn't lose my Euro money cos they were in my pocket instead of my wallet. I still lost quite a bit of Sterling pounds but I truly thank God that I still had my Euros to survive my holiday. I still enjoyed my holiday very much, going up Eiffel Tower and visiting these 2 beautiful cities.

5) Christmas
At the start of holiday I was planning to invite friends over for Christmas dinner until I found out that visitor aren't allowed into college after 6pm during Christmas period. I was quite sad thinking that Christmas would just pass by staying in the room studying as there was no shops open on that day. As Christmas approached, 2 Singaporean church friend (married couple) invited a bunch of us over to their place on Christmas. So after church they drove us to their comfy home and cooked for us lunch. After lunch we watched dvds i.e. Shadowlands and Robin Hood. Then they also cooked dinner for us and continued moving watching session i.e. Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It was a great Christmas spent with friends=)

6) Boxing day
I went down to London on Boxing Day to visit my brother and also for shopping. It's always good to see my brother, knowing that he's well....also I always get treated to really really good food=) In the shopping that I did, God blessed me with 2 pretty coats, one white and one black.

There's just so much that the Lord has blessed me with, I experienced down and up times but I thank God for both of them for they make me stronger and equipped for the things God has in mind for me to do. Term is starting soon...I'd better get back to work! Can't wait till term ends cos my parents and grandma are coming!!!!
