2012

3rd post

Okay I know no one reads my blog but I'm just gonna do this okay. If you feel like there'll be a dedication to you in this post, go ahead and read :) Haha okay Idk I'm super lame and retarded.

Reflecting on the year 2012, it's been an awesome one.

Kicked off the year with working from Dec 2011 all the way until end of Feb 2012 and then began my real holidays where I just sat at home playing Sims 2 LOL, going out, doing nothing (zhuo bo) and lazing around all day long. Sleeping at 3am and waking up at 11am. Reading my favourite Sophie Kinsella books, borrowed from the library. Chilling and chillaxing at anywhere, everywhere, at any time cos I was just that carefree lol. Did meet-ups and going out just to have fun ahhahaha.

On 11 Jan (if I'm not wrong lol saw my last time blog post) received Os results. I tell you, I will never forget that day man. It was just so awesome and I really experienced a miracle from God first-hand! It's like God worked a miracle in me. Okay lah so I was expecting 18, maybe 16 at the most. Then after all the talks and blah and about how our school fared compared to national standards (in which I was actually quite pumped up cos for our cohort, CORE HISTORY HAD 100% PASS AND 75% DISTINCTION OMG AND I'M ONE OF THOSE DISTINCTIONS REALLY THANK GOD HAHHAHA. And I saw Mdm Chua looking very happy after they announced that. The group of us just cheered man whoo!! If I'm not wrong there were 14 of us? Hahha great job guys!! We really set the standards!! Even though the previous batch had 100% pass AND distinction BUT they only had 2 ppl HAH. Thank God for the core history batch, we really outdid ourselves once again hehehe ^^), one by one, I saw my classmates and other class ppl getting their results. As I observed the surroundings, saw many different emotions. Some ppl were laughing and jumping around, super elated. Some were crying and I just felt so sad and scared at the same time. I was thinking what if I didn't do well, what would happen if I failed and screwed it up terribly? LOL then the funniest thing happened. I saw Eunice go up and take her results, then the moment she turned back and flipped it open, she started screaming like mad for like 5 mins LOL. Then all the Drama ppl surrounded her and all congratulated her hahahah. LOL that was one super epic reaction I will never forget, and it's all part of this marvellous and awesome day!! :D Then a while after that, it was my turn to get it. Mr Kee was like, well done Cynthia, and he smiled a genuine smile. Then I like, wah serious ah, but still very scared. Then I turned behind and flipped it open. I couldn't believe my eyes oh my goodness. I remember I just ran to Dana and Yuqing and started screaming and crying at the same time. I was all like "I only got one C!! I ONLY GOT ONE C AND IT WAS FOR CHINESE OMG I ONLY GOT ONE C". Then they and Dayna who came running to hug me (thanks love) thought I did badly cos they couldn't hear what I was saying I think lol. After that I showed them my results, and they were like, chey you cry for what?! HAHAHAH. Idk I was just so happy and I really felt without God, I could never have done this, and I really just wanna give Him all the honour and glory :') After that saw my Choir juniors and they were all congratulating me and I just felt so awesome ahahha. It was with them that I opened my results for my L1R4 score and cried and screamed again LOL. Then I realised Eunice disappeared already LOL so I called her and we tallked abt our results, and my phone died halfway so had to go up to the hall again (cos I went downstairs alr) to borrow Dayna's phone to call her hahha. After that met Bro, Sharm and Elson with Dayna at hawker and went back to slack slack at my place lol. I'll never forget that day man, was really awesome :) Thank God for everything, all glory, praise, thanks and honour to Him!! :D

Applied for TP's BSG as first choice and got in, thank God :) It was at that point I regretted not going to SP, NP, or even SRJC. But after school started and all, I really thank God I went TP's BSG instead. Now that I know for sem 2-3 I'll be in Marketing, I'll never doubt God's decisions for my life again :) Thank Him for putting me into Marketing!!

Also, during the period where I was working regularly lol, I met 2 very awesome people and I call them my "baby"s hehehe. Cong Le and Kah Yen, the 2 Ralph Lauren girls!! :D

It's amazing how we could stay such great friends up till now :) And now that KY accepted Christ too (Praise God!! :D), will be spending more time with her in church and cell heheh (Y) Though CL and I live very far away from each other, we still make time to meet up and I'm really glad for her to be in my life :)

Went to watch the very first musical I saw live in March.. WICKED!! And indeed, it was Wicked. It was a night I'll never forget. It was just simply amazing :) Caught it at MBS with Mum and Aunty Lynette :) Thanks Dad for sponsoring our tickets and for ferrying us there and back hahaha!! :)



Went to Sentosa on March with Eunice as well!! Lol it was a hot day but had fun man!!



March also meant smth to me and I'm sure, a lot of churchmates as well. It was the month we moved back to GEC, in our new building. We waved bye to PLMGSS and thanked them for letting us use their premises, and had our homecoming in GEC once again :)) Thank God for all His blessings unto the church :D

Of cos, in March also met up with the Sec sch girls for a picnic at Marina Barrage and at the same time celebrated dearest Gillian's belated bday heehe :) Great fun and laughter with these girls man!! Miss them :/



This lasted all the way until Poly started in late April. Before week 1, we had week 0 orientation. Came to orientation with Jiemin and we split into our different classes. And it was that day that my friendship with 5 other very awesome ppl began :)

Duo Yun, Laurencia, Yu Ting, Qian Wei, Joshua thanks for making my Year 1 in Poly a very enjoyable and awesome one, and I wish all of you the very best in your respective specialisations (QW you and I tgt ;)) and I hope we'll still be able to meet up and stay great friends :)) Thanks for listening to my problems and giving me advises that I really appreciate. Without some of your advises, I wouldn't have known what to do and I thank God for blessing me with you guys :)

Had fun with you guys as classmates and projectmates, and even though we're gonna be splitting classes next sem, just know that I'm always just a call/sms/whatsapp away, we'll remain friends!! :D

Also, love B1B20. Even though I'm not close to all of them, they made me change my mindset of Poly ppl positively, and I can't help but really like all of them as my classmates, and will be missing them when we go into our specialisations next year. They are a bunch of fun and loving people, and I thank God for them!!



Thank God for our careperson (cp), Mr Lum Fook Seng, and our tutors for their careful guidance and explanation of modules as well. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to cope with Poly life.

And in May, FINALLY met up with my lovely bestie for 17 years and counting, SARAH CHIANG LI WEN!! :D

Thanks for always being there and always ready to give a listening ear. Thanks for advising me when problems come my way, and I really appreciate it all :) Wouldn't know what I'd do without you man. I'm always here too, and never worry about tmr, trust in what God says yeah :) And lol bumping into you in school is always nice, it's nice to see church people in school hahahaha. Let's work to make an impact in our cell and in Zone B, I'm sure God has smth big in store for us all!! :D

Yining and Xiuling have seen me grow and advised and grew and encouraged me to who I am today, I'll never forget what they did in my life :) And even though I only knew Anne in Dec 2011 through the Christmas carolling with Go Community and she stepped down from tertiary to help with the then Zone 1, she has always been there and have been advising and encouraging me and I feel I've really matured this year :)

Love the 3 of them, and will miss them!! Thank God for them, they've been a blessing to all of us :)

I love the 2 of you sooo much. The definition of best friend lies in the 2 of them. Words cannot express how I feel about the 2 of you (wah like confession HAHA) and I really thank God for placing you 2 in my life :') Without you 2, I wouldn't know what to do in life whenever I face problems, and I know we're still gonna be there for each other even as we grow up and grow old :D

You're amazing and awesome Lord, thank You for everything :) I'm gonna trust everything to You Lord :D Once again, thank You for Your love :')

Also, I would like to dedicate this section of the post to someone very special to me. He is the nicest, kindest, and really awesome person that God had blessed me with this year. At around mid-year to August I got to know him? I can't really remember exactly when lol but it was around that time. He has been such a great blessing in my life and there are many things I would like to say to him but don't know how. So I'm gonna post it here. Y, if you ever see this, I'm sorry that I can't say it to you in person, cos after all, it's all over and I'm sure we don't wanna make it awkward by me bringing up this topic.. And after all, you're still a good friend to me, and so I wanna thank you for everything too by posting here :)

Dearest Y,

If you see this, just wanna let you know that the times we spent together was one of the greatest times this year. Thank you for always being there for me and listening to my troubles, thanks for encouraging me when I'm down, thanks for advising me and praying for me even though you've got a fair share of troubles yourself too. I really appreciate everything you've done for me :) And yes I got your little hints here and there when we met up and went out too lol. I too felt it was going too fast, and you don't have to apologise for it cos even though it didn't work out, I enjoyed every single bit of the times spent with you and I'm glad we stayed friends in the end :)

I too did not expect things to turn out this way, cos I thought that a person like me would never have had a chance with someone to begin with. But God had a plan and purpose, and I think He was increasing my self-esteem lol. And it just happened, and it seemed like it was such a short period that everything happened haha. Anyways, you should know too that we're not ready yet, and that God makes everything beautiful in His time. Continue to trust in God and put your plans in His hands, allowing Him to guide your path. With God, nothing can go wrong, and I totally agree with you that God's plan is the best :) I've always been amazed how much faith you have in God, and rmb that day, we both felt that God was telling us to put Him first too, and when we really put Him first, then we can build a relationship on the rock that is Jesus Christ. God is not done with us, He's still moulding us. Continue to trust God to take you to greater heights, and grow deeper in love with Him everyday :)

Don't feel bad, this isn't anyone's fault to begin with :) Just know that I'm glad that you had enjoyed yourself, and I did too. And remember that we both learnt smth from this. Right now all we need to do is just trust God to take us to where we need to be. And remember that illustration you showed me that day? Idk but we just really need to have faith and trust God. 5 years later, we'll see, and a lot can happen in these 5 years. Don't get discouraged if things don't turn out the way you want them to, cos God is in control of everything. He wants the best for you :) Wait until the time is right, be your best, and the right person will come along.

Anyways, to sum up everything, it was enchanting to meet you, and to still have you as a friend is amazing, cos you're one of the nicest, kindest and awesomest person I have ever met and I thank God for putting you in my life. I really appreciate having you in my life, and even though it won't be the same as last time, just know that you've always got a friend in me. Always just a call/whatsapp/text away man.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Time spent with you was one of the greatest and best times I've ever had this year.

I'm sorry for being so rude to you and sometimes taking things out on you.. I don't mean it and really truly regret my actions. I know sometimes I've been hurtful, and I'm sorry I take out my emotional unstability times on you :( Thanks for being so kind and understanding and forgiving me whenever I do these kind of things.. Even though I don't show it and always ask you to shut up and diam lol, I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'll be here for you as a friend. We'll still continue to stay as friends, and I wanna wish you all the best in your future, and never give up hope alright? Jiayou, I have faith and I believe that you can do it :)

Let it go and hold on to it no more. Seek God first, and everything else will come to place :) Never regret a God-driven decision, and just know that God wants the best for us :)

God hears and He sees, and you are not alone in your struggles. Remain firm and stable for God has your deliverance planned. -Joyce Meyer

Today marks 5 more days to 2013, and I all I can say is thank God for this amazing and wonderful year.  He has really blessed me and many others greatly this year :) Thank You for all the moments, good or bad, joyful or mournful, I thank You for all of them. Thank You for all the lessons You taught me this year, and I pray for a new me next year. I pray for all enviousness, jealousy and obsession to be gone even as I enter into this new year. I pray for a better me to bless and make an impact in others' lives as an intern, use me so greatly and mightily for Your purposes Lord. Love You so much, and thank You for everything :D

2 Chronicles 7:14

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁴ if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
