5 Blessed Moments of 2013
Hey guys! Waoh, i haven't blogged in a super duper long time and i guess i really want to kick the old habit of blogging back once more. Since 2013 is coming to an end what better way to start blogging than to lists my five best moments of 2013 huh? ;)
You know, looking back at 2013, i can't help but say it's been a truly blessed & wonderful year for me. So many awesome and wonderful things happened this year but i guess there are five unique moments which has truly marked this as an unforgettable year for me ;)
1. Life Guard
During my Diploma studies in TARC Johor branch, besides being busy in my studies and Christian Fellowship (CF) society stuffs in college, i was also busy training away my days to become a Life Guard. I remembered we used to train every Monday to Thursdays 5pm-7pm and sometimes even on Fridays at our college swimming pool and at times honestly it really gets so tiring. This went on for about a year but i'm thankful finally on March 11, we took our exams and Aced it! ;)
I guess this is a defining moment for me this year because swimming has always been my favorite hobby and sport which i have always wanted to achieve something in life related to swimming besides you know just casually swimming for leisure. The feeling of accomplishment and success from this achievement for me is simply indescribable and is definitely a unforgettable moment of 2013.

2. Convocation/Graduation Day
Next would definitely have to be my convocation or graduation day of 2013 where i officially graduate from my Diploma studies in TARC Johor Branch.
Convocation is a defining moment for me simply because it culminates my two years of diploma studies. Looking back, though at first i regretted and resented the fact of me being here, but after two years i would proudly say that there is no single moment i would regret because i know that everything that had happened be it good or bad served its purpose in teaching and maturing me. Truly i would not deny it has been God's planning from the very beginning :) And if someone were to ask me, 'So do you regret studying in TARC Johor Branch?' My answer would unanimously be, Nope with a big smile :)

3. Japan~!
Now the third amazing thing for me of 2013 was being able to fly to Japan and have a awesome holiday with my family. The last time i traveled this far was when i was still a kid at the age of 12. You wouldn't imagine how excited i was when i got on the plane preparing to fly off to Japan :)
Definitely an awesome moment because i've been dreaming of this for so many years now. And being able to visit the places you actually wish of dream of, is simply so fulfilling and awesome :)

4. Life in KL
After completing my Diploma studies, finally in September i officially moved up to KL to pursue my Degree studies in TARUC Setapak KL.
Being here so far, has simply been Amazing and i am so truly grateful and blessed with all that i have here. From having a wonderful university here to study, to a beautiful room to live in and amazing friends around me here, it's truly a wonderful life. This also saw a transition for me from life back in the slow paced Segamat to coming here to a big city.

5. Rediscovering God
Ultimately the best moment of 2013 is being able to rediscover God again. Honestly, many many months back i was truly struggling in many ways in my walk as a Christian. So many questions and doubts simply lingered in me that i unfortunately lost my zeal as a Christian.
But you know what? It is always so amazing how at times we may leave God yet God will never leave us and always find ways to bring us back to him again. No one is forgotten in the eyes of God :) Coming up to KL so far, i've truly seen how God has worked in me and using so many wonderful people in my life to bring me back to him. And now, i can testify that i have rediscovered God in my life and am truly enjoying every moment of it now :)
Even as 2014 approaches, i pray and hope this would be a year in which i may continue to learn and grow not only in terms of maturity or in my studies but as a Christian. Somehow, i believe its gonna be an interesting and awesome year ahead :) because
Life never Seizes to Amaze with God ;)
So, well really wanna wish everyone a Happy New Year and May you have a Awesome year ahead! =)
