HAPPY NEW YEAR PALS! :D

Okay, ya I know I'm like 9 days late. I've finally had time to blog cause after new year week, it was the start of school. It's the end of the first week of school thus I finally get to sit down and blog.

So I spend countdown at church and right when the clock hits 12 midnight, I immediately whipped my phone out and started whatsapping all my family and friends. Because of the new years messages probably from all over Singapore (and maybe over the world), Whatsapp hanged lol. So I had to wait till close to 1am before able to continue sending NY greetings.

Well, so far, 2016 hasn't be that bad..yet. Apart from going back to school, finishing up projects in time for submissions and failing one of my mid sem test fml, it's going well so far.. I guess?

People asked me what my resolutions for 2016 is, I told them "nope, don't have any." Well technically I don't make resolutions every year cause I know I probably can't keep them. I would try to stick to them for probably a few weeks and the forget about it afterwards lol.

But seriously, if I were to really make resolutions for this year and stick to it, it will probably be these:

1) Work out more often

Do I need to emphasise on this? LOL. I recently downloaded a few workout apps on my phone. Have yall heard of SWORKIT? It's a fitness app that has a whole body workout, or just your butt, legs, abs and core etc. I did managed to use it before school started, however because of school, I've been tired more recently and time seemed to be taken away by assignments and projects. Thus I find less time to workout.

But I probably would workout when I have no school.. Cause school is enough workout for me lol.

2) Improve GPA

Life of a student here in Singapore. My aim is to gradually improve my gpa every semester so by the time I reach my last year in poly, I would (hopefully) be able to attain a gpa of 3.6 and above..?

Obviously in order to attain a high gpa, must first work hard right. Hence the intense long hours of burying myself in projects, assignments and book. But who am I kidding, I don't spend crazily long hours on studying lol.

3) Survive School (literally)

Self explanatory.

4) Do not give a shit about anyone.

To be honest, sometimes we get into a bad mood is usually because of someone. Someone who makes our day go wrong, who cause us to get angry, sad or annoyed. And I think I don't wanna let anyone make me go from being happy to angry/sad in 1 second.

The best way to not let them ruin my mood is to not care. Simple I guess. Just not give a shit about what they say or do cause they won't be worth it anyway.

5) A closer relationship with God

This is the most important resolution ever. I feel like it is time for me to grow closer with God. He has blessed me so many times that I lost count, it is only right that I should grow closer to him and because I love him.

I still can't believe 2015 is coming to an end and 2016 is so near!!

It's like it feels as though I just started poly like a month ago, but no, it has been 8 months already!! I left with about 2 more months till 1.2 ends and 2.1 will begin like soon. OMG

As 2015 come to an end, looking back, this year has been quite eventful.

Firstly would definitely be studying in a whole entirely new environment. To be honest, when I was in Sec 1, I was always worrying about my grades. Like what if I flunk the O levels and had to repeat, like my entire future would be overrrrrrrrr.

But here I am by God's grace, finished Os and managed to get into a poly and course of my choice! :D Had the chance to make new friends and experience how poly life would be like. Before I started poly, I was kinda afraid. Afraid that it would be difficult for me to make friends cause I'm normally a shy person.

However when I first attended the freshmen orientation, I started having the guts to initiate conversations which ended up me making a good amount of friends lol. Though it was a little awkward at first but we warmed up a little while later.

Secondly would be attaining a GPA that I had never expected for the 1st half of the semester. Again, it is by God's grace that I was able to get a GPA which exceeded my expectations. Praise God for that! This kind of motivates me to study even harder for 1.2, we'll see how I fair at the end of this sem lol.

Thirdly, stepping out of my comfort zone to serve the Lord. What I meant by this would be stepping out of my shell to lead worship in my church! I have always been super shy since young and I've always wanted to join the choir in primary school but I was too shy to do auditions.

I did went for a audition for Choir in secondary school and the conductor labelled me as "able to sing but not as good as some people." ((When I meant "people" I meant those who already had experiences singing in primary school)) I had the chance to appeal to change CCA from NPCC to Choir, but I chose not to cause I was lazy to go for another audition lol.

But I'm glad I didn't went cause NPCC was a fun experience throughout my 4 years in school.

Anyway, it was after O levels that my dad asked me to lead worship with him cause one of his female worship leader couldn't make it on that day. So I just agreed. I don't know why, I just had to urge to agree and try it out!

It wasn't praise and worship for the main service, it was like a pre main service. We call it "Upperlight" in my church. Held every Saturday. ((If yall wanna drop by my church, contact me! Heh, I'd be delighted to bring yall!!))

So my dad's a worship leader for the Upperlight and he has a worship team ((band)). The stage isn't too big, but it was still a stage after all. Surprisingly, I had no stage fright. So I begin in december 2014.

My dad actually arranged for me to worship with his team once a month and it was at this arrangement until June..?? Where he asked me to worship "full time" lol. Meaning whenever it's his team's turn to lead worship, I'm in. So basically, I'm part of the team now. Yay.

It's amazing what the Lord could do. Now I enjoy praise and worship with him not only because I love to sing but also it brings me closer to Him. I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to serve him in a way which I love.

I wouldn't say I'm super good at singing now and my vocal's soooo awesome and powerful. Nope. I'm far from that. But I believe that as long as I diligently train my vocal, I'd be able to sing well eventually.
