#88 Blessed 15th!

Today marks the last day of being 15. Feels kind of strange cause by looking at the speed time's travelling now, I guess I'm rather fear stricken. This year has been very much fulfilling I would say – with its own ups and downs as well. It is this year where I've learnt so much and also taken the step of faith in stepping out of my comfort zone. I've learnt to trust God in every situation and realised He's guiding me. I've also learnt to move on even though sometimes it may not be easy but as long as you're willing nothing is impossible. I've learnt to give and enjoyed the moment where I was allowed to "take."

I've really many things to thank God for this year. For His many blessings in my life. 365 days have passed and through it all, I've seen His Faithfulness in my life. For always showering me with so much love and care. He has blessed me, abundantly. With people who love me and accept me for me. He has blessed me with a wonderful family, extended family and friends. He has shown me what true love is. He has blessed me in my ministry – Agapeland even when I plant & sow seeds. He has blessed me in my studies where I tasted a little success in the year end exam as well as the Tamil Os. He has blessed me with a family that supports me, loves me and really a "family" to me who I know would stick with me through generations.

My extended family as well. Despite me having comments about certain stuffs that they carry out, their kindness always speaks volumes. Like how Aunty Lali came over all the way from Yishun to deliver a cake and say, Happy Birthday. & Nan, despite her immobility, she prepared a cake & jelly & chocolates for me. I'm truly blessed. Before I forgot, I've got to mention my brother as well. Kash, we can squabble over the smallest slightest thing, but I know you do love and care for me 'cause you show it so abundantly. I admit, I'm not an easy sister but you've survived 14 years of your life with me and I know that there are many more years to come, as we move on together. Thank you for withstanding all my nonsense and never failing to brighten up my darkest hours. I'll never fail to remember the weirdest things you do (like sound your mousehunt (FB game) horn a 3am and ask me whether I'm hungry so as to cook for me) Thank you my closest cousin, Geetha for always spamming my camera with photos of ourselves, for always entertaining me with sleepover's girls talk and ganging up against my brother time and time again. Thank you for being my movie partner as well. Love you, all.

I also thank God for blessing me with great friends. My "small sister" in church, Clarissa. I really enjoy your company. As much as I've changed your life, you've played a part in changing mine as well. Thank you for spending so much time with me. Even as your exams start tomorrow, all the best my dear. I'll be praying for you. Thank you for making me feel so special by taking time off studying to wish me in advance. My friends I've got in school also colour my life so much. Dharishini, Ying Yng, Jia Wei, Rajam, Hazel, Daniel & Amirul... the list can go on&on. Thank you every single one of you for making me, me. Dharishini, for your love, your craziness, your randomness, for always taking care of me and making sure i'm fine. Thank you for always being there when I need to scream at someone and need to rant at you. Rajam, my highway partner! Thank you for withstanding all my crap and everything else. Really too long to list out but I'm sure you know you've been a blessing to me and I love you & Dharishini a lot!
JiaWei who's my president. Hee. Thank you for showing me what true love means by showing me your kindness throughout your life and how you always showcase such great attributes in your life. For your care, joy and love. Thank you for making me feel so special time and time again.
YingYng, the one always behind the scenes, thank you thank you and thankyou for the 36 months of friendship (coming 22nd October)!
To all my friends, I guess in one way or another you've changed my life and made me understand the true meaning of what friendship is about. Thank you each and everyone for role modaling your life for me. I appreciate everything you've done for me. Thank you for withstanding me and always being by my side even though it can be hard at times. I love you all, very much.

I also thank God for blessing me with wonderful Teachers that played a part in shaping my life as well. (Ms Foo, Mdm Choo & Ms Amy...) The 3 most special to me. MsFoo, thank you for being my superwoman and coming to my rescue over and over again. Thank you for teaching me, being there for me and everything else. Thank you for caring for me lots. Mdm Choo, my mummy in disguise. ;) I've got a whole list to thank you for, seriously. You're everything like a second mummy and I know you agree very well to that. Thank you for allowing me to ya da da da! :) & also, baby sit your donut factory. I really love every single one of them very much. & lastly, MsAmy, Sunshine! Despite your departure from KCP you're still that special to me. And you know why. I miss you though!

I also thank God for blessing me with Agapeland. Strange, but true. If not for Agapeland, I would know that I love kids, but my love would not grow and my talent would not have been realised either. Agapeland has molded me, so much so that there's where I call home. God has given me this talent which is reaching out for the children, and it is here where this talent has been nutured and grown with the help of many other individuals, Aunty Lily who has been guiding and helping me through with the lessons. As well as Jessica who has been making sure that my life's in balance. Thank you so so much. I appreciate everyone of you. RAYs as well. Thank you! For making me feel belonged so suddenly, I appreciate everyone of you very much!

Lastly, Aunty Linda. I still miss you very much Aunty, all the times we had together and everything. They can't be replaced despite having a new "replacement" Mary (MY PARTNER IN CRIME! :P) but you know and I know that I love you. Thank you for everything you've sacrificed for me. Thank you for not being around in 09 but you remembered me, thank you for the note. I pray & hope you're fine despite the shaky circumstances. Love you!

All in all, this is just a glimpse of my 15th year of living. Time's fast! Thank you Jesus for your so many blessings and faithfulness in my life and for providing me with so many people who appreciate me. I love You and also I love everyone of you very much. THANK YOU THANK YOU & THANK YOU!

I had a memorable 15th! What would 16 be like? :)
