Heyo.
Good great morning.
Joyous happy new year too.
Just came back from ning's home.

honestly,
i ought to be asleep now.
for an hour at least, but i'm not.
guess i'm excited.
people,
i'm excited because it's a new year!!

Just reminds me so much of God telling me,
He's forever in my life.
I could almost hear His whispers carried on the hustle of the wind.
"My child, here's yet another year created for you."

Yesterday night,
bing and ning picked me up from work.
that simple gesture,
just sweeten my heart.
ning said, "chin gu wants people to pick her up from work right?"
haa.
yah, i desired that.
but erm..well..i was shy to admit,
but still,my sweet lovelys came.

we headed for dinner at yoshi,
then shopped at cold storage for...
1)tomato salsa
2)baby potatoes
3)cheddar cheese
4)3 jumbo dogs(beef, chicken, bratwurst)

Headed back to simei.
waited for ah ley,
went to grab BnJ.
NewYork Super Fudge Chunk.
Mouthful, i meant the words,
and literally.
we each grabbed a spoon,
and dive in,
i mean dive in using the TABLEspoon.
hah.

Supper was on its way.
Then we caught the coffee prince.
Sweet. 8)

We had like...er..let me think again..
tori karaage
baby potatoes with mayo and bacon bits
fried bee hoon
3 jumbo dogs
root beer to wash these down.

it was 2327hrs.
We got our glasses of choya mixed with ice cream soda.
sat and watched countdown.
Together.
Though it was nothing like a mega countdown party,
with party poppers,
confetti,
hopping and dancing around.
We,
ning,
corny,
wesley,
bing
and me,
we cheers to a new year.
with our choya, that is.
when they were counting down at 5 secs,
i heard myself uttered this,
"God, thank you for this year that past."

Bing shared this:
[I heard, the thing that you would do during the crossover to the new year,
you will do it throughout the year.]

year 2006-2007,
the crossover was silent.
but not in the heavens.
i remembered,
the pastor at bee's church told us to close our eyes.
We prayed into the new year.

year 2007-2008,
I prayed into the new year too.
in fact, i was thankful.

We went on watching 'Schindler's List'.
Beautiful show,
but please don't fall asleep.
3 hours and 15 minutes length.
Corny and ah ley ended up,
checking on Nazi war,
Hitler and all.
Hmm.
I thank God for a man like
Oskar Schindler.
I'm thankful.

pardon me here,
but i ain't interested about setting new year resolutions.
I'm simply thankful that i can live,
day to day,
month to month,
year to year.
feel the feelings i can feel.
move the muscles that 'wobbles' around me.
[time to shed er..chunkies..]
hah.

Friends,
Be thankful with what you have.
It's good to desire new and more each year.
God gave us desires.
But my prayer is that,
we'll desire Him more,
above all other things.

As for me,
I'm thankful for a handful of people.
who has been a big part of my life.
honest.
you were part of the mould that was needed to shape me in 2007.
my prayer is that you'll still be in my life in 2008.

Shall chart them on my first blog entry of 2008.
I appreciate your presence in my life.
