Wrapping up 2008

December was a month to remember for many reasons. 2008 was a year to remember for many reasons too. Heck, 2008 would probably be the best year of my life so far.

So many things happened throughout this month I should’ve really blogged more often but all I can offer now is a recap to just wrap up 08.

YOUTH CAMP 2008

Camp was a blast. Full of fun and more importantly, God moved and touched many many lives in those few days.

This was the small group that I had the privilige to lead in morning devotions and stuff. Brilliant people really. Coorperative, responsive, attentive.

Ming Shen ended his camp a different person to the one who started it. His encounter with God was truly encouraging for me as it was yet another answered prayer.

SOARING EAGLES!! Yeah I know, rocking tribe name eh.. We got 2nd place overall and for the FIRST TIME IN ALL MY CAMP GOING LIFE, MY TRIBE WON THE TREASURE HUNT!!

MONASH UNIVERSITY

Camp ended on the 18th and offers were due to arrive on the same day but my bloody offer was delayed till the 22nd!! No complaints however.

Dear MR YEAK

Monash ID No.: 213***** (Please quote in all correspondence)

Full Offer for Semester 1, 2009

Bachelor of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery

Congratulations. I am delighted to offer you admission to Monash University, Clayton as an international
student. You have received a full offer into the Bachelor of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery.

Words cannot explain how I felt when I read that e-mail. All the hard work has paid off. All the worrying, studying and occasional stress break down has been worth it. Couldn’t have done it without His help though. Thank You so so much. For ISAT, pulling me through the interview and answering all my prayers.

Some of you guys know, but one amazing thing was that I prayed for specifically 382 for my final sem MUFY score, and guess what, He gave me EXACTLY 382! What are the odds of that!?

MY NEW TOY

Nut case camera which I love to bits! Got it together with the 17-85, a 50mm, 580ex II and lots of other goodies as well. A lil to the heavy side but its just pure quality, the build, ergonomics, and picture quality just brilliant. Duh, its the Canon 40d.

Been eyeing this baby since I don’t know when. Can’t believe I actually own one now. Been putting it to big tests really with difficult situations my G7 would die in. Results were alright, some were fantastic while there could’ve been more if not for my noob-ness in handling a dslr. Time, time..

AOIFE’S 18TH BIRTHDAY

What a party Aoife had. There was dancing, karaoke, funny slideshows of her and 2 crazy guys dancing around half naked with ribbons and heavy make up. Oh, and even a on the spot hair styling competition. Did I mention the food? Ohyeah, the food.. mmm…

The girls working their magic on his head. Uhh.. that sounded wrong. On his hair. mm.. whatever.

Random picture.

Can you see Megan stuffing her face with muffins in the background? haha!!

I love those colorful disco ball thingos.

Crazy patterns you can get with these stuff. Think I’ll try air graffiti one day. Thanks Alan for the idea. haha!

MYF Year End Celebration

As most of you would have read from Pearly’s blog, this year’s celebration was loads of fun. Hats off to the guys who planned out the games thingy.

Loh Chia Ching. He’s got too many crazy photos that we can totally show on his wedding day. His legendary video with Alan is still the killer though. The theme here was [cute]. Ugh, should have seen the make up on his face man. Girls rock la, bring make up everywhere. haha..

Oh yeah! Thats how you strike a catwalk! Attitude becks, ATTITUDE! haha..

Alan proved himself to be the KING OF NERDS. In camp, after camp. He just seemed so comfortably confident and happy in that role, maybe he just should be himself more often. haha!

Then as according to tradition, the form 3’s had their presentation.

Stayed over at wen jing’s place that night and talked crap till like 6 in the morning. Didn’t actually plan to but that was how it ended up anyways. haha!

So yeah, ironically there isn’t much about Christmas this December. Although caroling was really awesome and the dinner in KL with my family too was a blast, I don’t have pictures for them!

2008 couldn’t have ended in a better for me. I encountered God, had truckloads of fun, worked my butt out, experienced Melbourne, met some crazy awesome people and got myself into uni.

ROLL ON 2009 BABEH!! BRING IT!!
