I Like to Thank Ya'll

It's 2009, and I've got a whole bunch of people to thank for '08!

I like to thank.....

My Lord n Saviour Jesus Christ for loving me so much everytime and everywhere. He saw me through my ups n downs and never left me but showering me with blessings throughout. Thank you, my Dearest Father in Heaven =) .

Mom n Dad for supporting me through all my decisions and choices in life. Thank you for being always there for me no matter what happens. I'll try my best to give you a good life in time to come. ~With much Love~

My bros- Terry, Bronson. Thank you for always being there for me in KL, when I needed someone to pick me up from the airport, the bus station n during my audition days when u guys had to pick me up n keep me company no matter how inconvenient it was. Thank you for your support throughout the whole OIAM competition.

My youngest bro- Charleston for still remembering to talk to me when I come home, haha. You oughta do better in your studies man. It's not a time to fool around!

Grandma and Shann Yee, for always caring for me and providing me with everything useful that you could think of. You guys are the loveliest people after my parents! Grandma, I promise I'll go travelling with you this year! Shann Yee, I got what you wanted ;)

Mag Yee for letting me stay with you for 4 loonng years in Penang. I know I didn't live up to your expectations, but I tried my best. Thank you for providing me with my daily needs. At least I had a home.

My best friends, Camilia and Liang in Penang. I had the best time in Penang with you guys. To Camilia- we shared the same passion, have the same thinking, love the same food, ever forgiving to each other, treat your home like mine and mine like yours (haha). Liang for always listening, consoling and keep me company throughout my lowest n toughest times. Simon for being my best partner in crime, for all the songs we've done n the passion we had together. You're the MAN!

To Aunty Lucy and Sand, for bringing me into the Sand family and be as one for God, and to share our music to people. I can never forget the trips n experiences we had together. Eddie n Jasmine for being the best boss and gave me so many chances to showcase my talent n perform for them. I can't deny that I've improved so much in singing from all of you.

To all the friends that came n go. You left me with appreciation towards all your good deeds and the thought for me.

To all the bittersweet memories of '08. Goodbye to ya'll. It's time for a new year and a new beginning. God be my witness~

May God Bless you all in the years to come. Love you guys heaps!

And Dr. Lee said...

The "Klebsiella" bacteria family's been making themselves at home in my right nostril for at least a year!

They've been making themselves at home with lots and lots of babies there already. Thank God I met Dr. Lee, and he said it's time for them to move. I can't believe I generously let them accompany me for such a long time. Goodbye guys, I won't miss you at all! Don't come back!

Doc gave me a month's prescription of antibiotics and cold/allergy tablets and what not..I now have to carry lotsa tablets wherever I go- I feel so sick now...

Where's mom n dad...I miss home, my relatives, my friends and my life back home... =(

Looking back through 2008

It's now the 3rd day of year 2009.

Much has been done. Much has been experienced. The good and the bads happened all in the 365 days of 2008.

OIAM 2 ended in February. That marked the end of my involvement in one of the country's most acclaimed talent competition and the local music industry, and the beginning of a whole new life in a whole new place- Singapore.
February also marked the end of a complicated but a "highly-invested-in-feelings" relationship, and a beginning of singlehood once again. Freedom? haha.

April was the month I decided to have a turning point in my life. Since there's nothing I could change, I decided to change the way I lead my life- I joined the SQ.

June was the month when I officially took the first step into Singapore and when my training had started. Not an easy life to lead for the couple of initial months, but it was very obvious to me, that God's presence was strongly with me.

September was the month I graduated from training school and welcome to the real world. The training grounds was a pacifier. I had to face the harshness of work all by myself. My 1st solo was a disaster. My subsequent flights were an eye opener.

I was finally seeing the world with my own eyes, and feeling it with my own hands- from Asia to America and to Europe. God promised me He never left me. He surely had not at all. His countless blessings has been with me throughout the year. His provisions were and are still numberless.

December was the month I celebrated the most meaningful birthday. The 2 of my closest friends make it all the way from Penang to keep me company. Thank you Camilia and Liang. You guys are the best friends I've ever had. I thank God for you.

And towards the new year? This is how I celebrated in Zurich, Switzerland;


It's either the Swiss Alps or I was dreaming....



Flumxerberg ski resort.


Ooh ooh..how dya like my skis?


My first encounter with Uncle Snow. Feels like Ice Kacang, yummy~


"Hey wait for me, let me just pull off this snow-post '08 for the last time k?"



The reps of Batch 980 at Flumxerberg~ Met my batch boy Ed in Zurich, can't believe it!


Ski-bashing!


In the open snowy land.


The skiing gang in Zurich on the last day of '08. You guys were awesome! Meaningful companionship. ~HuGs~


Darn it was cold, especially in front of that icy thing!


In the snow garden- an undescribable chilling experience!

Thank You Lord for all the blessings. May Your name be glorified in my life. Amen.
