Today is just the 16 January! Just half the month is gone, yet so many things have happened! On the very first week of 2012, I had to attend 3 wake, which one of them I have a deeper emotions for. A man I will remember in my life, he is none other than Uncle Ricky, he is more than an uncle I call by name, he is someone whom watches me grow up, he is just like my dad. We travel together, we have dinner together, he’s our grill fish kaki! He is my insurance agent! I describe him as someone like my dad, as he loves me so much, he hugs me all the time when he sees me, he gives words of affirmation. I always remember the smiling uncle! As I attended his wake, looked at his photo, I was reminded of the good times we always spent together! A man to remember! I may never see him ever again, but I will have him as my role model in life! *Coincidentally, on that day that he passed away, that very hour, I was scrolling down my phone’s contact list, I wanted to call him to ask him how he was doing, when I was suppose to make that phone call many months back, due to my busyness, I procrastinated! At that very moment, I just felt that someone is pulling of my fingers from my phone to do something else. Thank God I didn’t make that phone call, if not I will have created greater mourning for the family.* “Uncle Ricky, I will miss you so much!”
Just in the first month in 2012, I just felt that ministry has not went well for me! Perhaps, it’s another refining process that I need to go through as I juggle the many things I needed to do. But it does bring me to a deeper level in God’s work and prayer… Praying that everything will be back on track again.
As of 2012, I’m also now serving in the 13th GB Company in Sembawang Secondary School! During my first parade, as I make my way to SSS, I was worried, will I survive the 3.5 hours there? God made me fall in love with the girls and see the great need to be there planting seeds into their life! As I made the decision to take over, I was worried, will I be able to fine any volunteers to help? I thank God for people who are willing to come in to help, even people who are still considering, I pray for God to speak to them, especially the older youths. If it’s a ministry that God is calling YCCA into, He will also provide me with the manpower! 
On a lighter note, I’m looking forward to CNY, gathering with my cousins and family! Also, I’m looking forward to our family trip to Bangkok in 1 month time. But, my sis and her family won’t be coming as my nephew need to go to sch!
