I remember

I love 2007. I figure the best way to make it great is to risk more. Here's some of my favorite moments as to recollect as much as I could.

I remember I was celebrating New Year 2007 in Penang with Kenny, Tracy, Tean, Ming and Pammy. We take loads of photos that I never have a chance to see.

I remember Shirley was being a great friend and listener when I was in need, desperate.

I remember being throwing into swimming pool and chase by crazy worship team members in my birthday. Flour and water. They are quite merciful.

I remember I was short of money but put what I've pledged in the building fund and waiting to die if God doesn’t come through. A week after that I lost my job and the company closed down. What a classic bible style stories.

I remember sitting near the swimming pool almost every mid night just to wait for God to show up before I have the peace to sleep.

I remember I spent a month preparing strategies to get into a company of my choice. Only simple food on table. Staying at home day and night.

I remember packing my stuff from the old office with electricity cut off. Walking in the dark...

Walking home in the rainy morning in loneliness and despair.

I remember circumstances forces me to search for financial, investment, business wisdom from all soft of channel with hunger. I’m glad it happened. It will be horrible if future without a goal for financial freedom. Tho I haven’t blog about this area but I never forget to have a financial mission of my life.

Countless birthday gifts and sms flooding. Thank God for great friends.

I remember leaving the man who believes in me so much. That moment we broke down and trembling at the dawn of what we fear has happened. Looking back now, I see myself carry the flag he raises and becoming the Jake he always believes.

I remember I got a new job and the pay is more than double compare the pay it was before.

I remember building my first computer, reading catalog comparing prices, bargaining at Low Yat and searching internet for tutorial and carry my heart-searching 20’inch wide screen home with joy only kid processed.

I remember bought my most expensive shirt from Culture Couture.

I remember I was absent from msn for the most part of 2007.

I remember cutting hard board, measuring, spraying paint, calling and planning, doddle and designing the Starscream transformer suit. The willingness of the people coming to help. The tiredness that drains us from listening the sermon. And gave us the prize we don’t know how to share but also experience we all cheers.

I remember meeting a special friend who I will build our first game with. A divine encounter I believe.

I remember seeing my church was so small when I serve on the stage during a service. We’ll save more people and need a bigger building.

I remember and enjoy new friendship, cheers to Ally, Adrian, Tim, Cheryl, Ming, Raymond, Richard, Caleb, kher Lit and some I couldn’t recall now. Also those old ones but getting new likes Laverne, Jin, Wendy, Tracy, Tean, Erin, Chintia, James and more.

I remember working late at nights and weekends just to get the job done, performance went from minus to ACE gives me real kick. I like the feeling of overcoming something big. Feel good and motivating. I know I’ll always fight if something’s not right.

I remember when I'm about to complete most of my goals in 2007 and a few more months before the year end, I went on to create a new one for 2008. I have completed 2 small goals today. Let me says, planning is the shortcut to success. Classic.

It’s finally here, let see how well I will make this year to be remember.

Ming!

In 2007, I cant remember how did I end up a roti canai deal. Is 2008 now, I cant remember any roti canai anymore. Hehe. :p. Thanks Ming!! Thanks for being there during those difficult hours. You're such a great friend with a gift of sensitivity who understand feeling, able to read ppl's heart within seconds and go all out to cheer them up. That guy is a lucky guy. ahem. ahem.

From a few posts, you can predict a portion of my goals!! Alright, alright! Since you're moving, I'm not sure how do u get online. But we can chat using that steve guy's thing. Hope that I can get it faster!

By all means, I'm all ears. I'll pray for your new job! I experienced myself blessing from God in job hunt process. I'm sure you're in good hands. You will make it through with faith and courage.

and lastly, I hope I can live up to what u can see... ;)
