Twenty-twelve. 2012. However you say it.
It's gonna be an interesting year, what with turning 22 (soon enough, at the end of the year) and being 21 for now. Even more interestingly, there are the speculations on the end of the world. Will the world end? No one knows. But why bother? Live each day as if it's your last! That's what matters!

In any case, school is starting again tmr. (Oh ho, or maybe not so for me because my Mondays are FREE. Ahaha, so sue me.) Alright, so I'll quit being bimbotic for awhile. I'm glad for the changes happening in YZ. BS on Sundays, no longer exactly part of the core but just mentoring my new understudy. It frees up a lot of my time, for one. Secondly, it allows me to take a slight breather without really taking a breather (because I'm still serving, except that the workload lessened). And, hence, I became a worship leader for YAM. It's probably time I think of transiting myself from serving in YZ to YAM. I can't stay a youth forever, can I? Haha. My heart is still with YZ though, so I'll still stick around for a couple of years more after my girls graduate.

Sharon said something that I thought was really true! When God calls you, you can't run away. Indeed. While being a DGL was not really much of a consideration for me, because I had already prepared myself when Daryl asked me in 2007. I was really excited, although I wasn't exactly sure how to do it. Reflecting on how I feel about being a DGL now, I'm still equally excited and I really truly enjoy it. Call it a teacher's heart (: And then I realised that I suppose being a DGL could really be a gift of mine! Looking at all the batches that graduated from YZ, I really cannot pinpoint many who have seen their groups through all 6 years. I would be the second female DGL? I was thinking about it too. I would like to come back and mentor another DGL for perhaps a year or two. Like the double DGL groups with Cara and Michelle, Cyrus and Linus, and now Vera and Joey. I enjoy all the DGL fellowships anyway. Serving alongside the people whom you've known for ages is really heartening.

On a sadder note, Deb is leaving. I'll miss our star-gazing chitchats in camps, our talks about what's going on in life, serving together (first in flute, then in yz), someone familiar to go with when I'm in a sea of people I'm not so close to and don't feel like opening up for that moment, someone to support me when I'm down. We've been busy lately I think, or at least I have. But friends will still be friends. Nothing can change that! (:

I think I've typed enough for now. So long! I'm probably feeling a bit more reflective cos I just watched A Little Bit Of Heaven.
