Reflections & Resolutions..










Hey ya! Well, it's 2012 already! Yet another year has passed ushering another brand New Year!

Before i make other posts of this year, i guess it's important first to do some Reflections of 2011.

2011 truly has been a year much many New Things, Learning & Experience which i guess have never learnt so much in one Year as in 2011.

YMI~!

I remembered starting the Year with YMI or Youth Mission Initiative. It was truly a Great experience, a One Month long Mission trip in Kluang and in Sentul Kuala Lumpur. Experience so much, we were sent to a School for Refugees where we helped out there. It was truly a Great eye opener being able to see Life in the eyes of others, being away from home being independent and working hard labour, yup you heard it hard labour! And making many Awesome Friends in the process.
Volunteer Work~!

Well, after YMI while waiting for my SPM results, i remembered signing up to do volunteer work at Calvary Victory Center which is basically like a school for children with Autism. True enough, this was another Great eye opener. I mean, working, helping & teaching children whom are Special. I bet not many people actually have this experience working with children with Austism, and true enough its an experience i'm proud to bear. Learnt that you know we are really actually so Blessed. Be CONTENT & HAPPY with your Life. What i learnt, even these Children can be so Joyous & Happy even with their disabilities, why not us? But honestly, at many times even i find myself biting on the very experience & words i said.

College Life~!

During that entire time leading up to obtaining my spm results, One Major Theme always ringing through my mind was whats next with my Education? What am i going to study where am i going to study? I found myself thinking over & over again over the same very questions which haunted me so much.

I had many different plans, paths & places which i made for my studies, but you know what? I don't know, all my plans didn't really materialize and at the end of it all, i ended up in TARC Johor Branch.

Many times i'm asked, what in the World are you doing in TARC Beven? And why are you taking Public Relations? Because true enough TARC nor Public Relations wasn't what i've plan or dream of taking. Honestly, it was almost at the bottom of the lists of studies and colleges to go to~!

And yet, i find myself ending up here in TARC studying PR. You know, sometimes the very Dreams we have or Desire may not necessarily materialize. Alright even though its true it may HURT not being able to achieve your Dreams, but hey? If one Dream is far out of reach why not Find another Dream instead? And yes, i have found another Dream. To study until i end up in England & graduate with a Masters. Yup, perhaps it's a bit far fetch, but hey Aim for the Skies right? =P

Singapore~!

Another thing which happened this year is actually learning to be able to travel to & around Singapore. Before 2011, i was a complete IDIOT in going to Singapore. I totally did not know the routes and ways to travel to Singapore even though i live in Johor Bahru which is like so NEAR to Singapore. But because of friends and in the name of Love, yeaa i learnt how to travel to Singapore and yup, now i can confidently travel to singapore, okay not EVERYWHERE lah but can traveeel.. =P

Love~!

And the last, perhaps will be Love. Ah i bet your eyes must be opened wide now & adjusting your seat in the process. LOVE~! I'm sure if you know me, yea you'll be like sooo excited to read this now. haha.

Well, yea i guess i can't deny that another major theme of 2011 was about Love. Fell in Love and actually learnt so much from it. Really, i guess this is the first time i'm actually that serious, i mean actually really trying to woo a girl. WOAH another new experience! But yea, these past few months has really been something. Learnt like how to write songs, fold origami, travel and also learning to take Risks.

Well, i'm still single though, lol~! Maybe ain't good enough for her, perhaps she deserves someone better than me? I don't know. Find myself in a crossroad of Holding on to something which seems to distant now or Letting go & moving on with Life.

Love can be so Sweet & Wonderful but yet also very Painful & Hurtful.

But i guess whats important is this, it ain't about Finding the Right person, but Becoming the Right Person.


Resolutions~!

Well, my resolutions for 2012 would firstly be, being the strong Christian i used to be. Yup, not as Strong nor Holy as a Christian i used to be honestly, hopefully can rebuild back that Strong Christian Beven i used to me. Next, will also be doing well in my studies, maintaing a CGPA of 3.8 and above. Yuuup and also to continue to revive back the Christian Fellowship here in TARC. Lastly, yea hopefully will find my companion this year. That's all i guess.

Happy Blessed New Year Everyone~! (:

TARC Christmas Celebration


Well, we're finally going to have our Christmas Celebration here in TARC (Johor Branch) organize by our own Christian Fellowship. Can't wait for it! I've been dreaming and envisioning of this day since first entering college, to plan a Christmas Celebration event for TARCIANS here in our campus. And finally it's coming true!

We started planning about two weeks ago, we're gonna have games, worship, performances, gift exchanges, fellowship & FUN~!
You know, our Christian Fellowship here in our Campus has been DEAD for many years. And now, this year we're slowly reviving it. Upon coming into college, it has always been my dream and vision to revive the CF here.

In the beginning, finding fellow Christians here is really like finding needles in a haystack! It was really that hard! It's not like very one has big Sign Boards hanging over their heads saying, CHRISTIAN HERE~! It was truly a Challenge. In the beginning, there was only four of us, and now it was grown to Twelve! Yup! Well, maybe to you it may not be a VERY big number, but for us here it really is. We now have a small band, only lacking of a Keyboardist but we have many TALENTED people!

We have a COOL BeatBoxer name Stanza~! His totally AWESOME with beatboxing man! We have an Awesome Singer name Sam~! Great musicians like Chih Jun & Jason~! And a Groovy Dancer name Hong Chin! Awesome IT Technician Wei Long, a Good Christian leader Jonathan, helpers like Daniel & Dickson. We've all been working together for this event which we will have pretty soon. And many others!

I am proud of our acomplishments so far even though we only started joining together not too long. Simply hoping & praying everything will go Awesomely well later.
God please help us to do our Best & also to be able to bring about the TRUE meaning of Christmas to all our Friends. Bless us Lord~! AMEN!

Priorities...



Priorities. Sometime ago i've read this somewhere before. It says, life is is like a container. Not too sure whether you've heard of it before and the things in life we fill in it refers to the things we treasure in life.

If we put the bigger things in the container first, lets say rocks in it it takes space, but there are spaces left. But there are still room for more things inside like placing marbles, pebbles and lastly sand to make that container full. However, if we place the sand first, the smaller things first, there won't be room for any other things.


Recently, honestly life has been pretty rough to me. Love, Responsibilities, Accountability, Character & Studies has really been a big bugger to me.

Worst part is, got back my Public Relation Test paper today. Oh man, did so badly for it. I was totally shocked at my results. How could i have done so badly? What went wrong? I studied for it and yet huh? Disappointment i am no doubt about it. But what can i do but to accept me failure as a lesson? I am Happy to see my friends in class succeeding, try to put on a smile but deep down, disappointment grips.

Back to priorities. Have to fix my priorities right, and do what is right to not disappointment myself and the people around me whom really love & cares for me. Bulk up Beven. Jiayou...
