I want to avoid the statement, "as one door closes, another opens". Life is a journey, a marathon, a continuation. Yes, there are beginnings and endings, but collectively, the events/milestones/relationships we experience contribute to developing our identity and who we are as people. This year, I have stepped out of my comfort zone, overcame challenges, developed new relationships, nurtured old ones, reaffirmed my faith, and learned what it means to be other-person centered. I look back and can confidently say that I am filled with a sense of contentment for another wonderful year that God has blessed me with.
On a random note, this year, the babies born in the year 2000 are 13-yrs-old! I remember being in assembly in primary school where they handed us out medallions encased in plastic to commemorate the beginning of a millennium. How time flies! :)
This year, a bunch of friends went to Chibi's house to hang out on NYE. I'm so thankful for this group of people and just some time to chillax before the climatic 12:00. We had some snacks, played singstar, watched the boys play tekken, had a chat on the balcony and watched dodgeball.

| Countdown to 2014!! |
We have our fair share of arguments, misunderstandings and conflicts (NYE was no exception), but he is so special to me. I hope that together, we can learn to be more loving, patient, sacrificial and accepting in 2014. :)
