Hardly much time to reflect on the year that was, as my mum and sis are still here in Melbourne, but I'll try anyway! Well, what can I say, to summarise the year in a few words is hard to do, and certainly, this year as I look back would be a year of constant surprises.

Of course it wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention uni. Final year it was, and honestly I didn't know what to expect at the start of the year. Final year project selection was a bit hasty, and I ended up with partners which I've never worked with before. The project really tested my patience and endurance, as I faced communication challenges and long hours in the RabiT labs, a home for the later part of the year which I've grown to love and hate. Those long nights in the labs were indeed memorable. 1st semester subjects were the most challenging, with 2nd sem subjects cooling off a bit in intensity. Swot vacs became a looked forward to event because I got to hang out with cool ocf people more in fact, surprisingly. ahhaa...With much stress and determination, I managed to scrap through the fyp, and the exams.. A graduate I am, all thanks to God.

In OCF, I was a bit laid back in terms of service because of the busy schedule, but a challenge I took up was bible study leading. Only once in the first semester, then in July Camp co leading wif g ping was quite fun. led more times in 2nd semester. Really thank God for my wonderful group which made the final year in ocfcarlton much more enjoyable.

Also, the friendships I've built in the past year has been pleasantly surprising. I'm surprised that I've grown closer to the people that I've not in the past thought of as people that I would be close to. Sadly, that would also mean that some people that I was close to have become a little bit distant. Saying goodbyes were so hard to do, and I dread going away to a new place next year where I've got no friends. Oh .. well...

Also this year I was working part time in 2nd semester, which got me some extra pocket money. Indeed a blessing I've never expected, and a job offer under way which I'm thankful for. What I've not expected was the move to Sydney next year, and as I look ahead to the new year, I wish I could relive 2007 again but I guess I have to move on. A challenging and demanding year lies ahead, and it would be much different than the 4 years that has been my undergraduate years. Indeed I don't know what to anticipate, but I'll go into the new year with expectations of greatness..

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 people!
