2008 has been a year ups and downs... Sadly, it's more of downs though the first half of the year was considerably amazing.
The downturn in my life will not ruin my chance of ending the year well. With CG Appreciation Night on the last day of 2008, I'm absolutely sure that it's gonna be a great one!
------------------------------------
What is 2008 without music?
Music always plays a huge part in my life. It's still the case about me not instrumentally talented at all... A rocking good year in music, great albums from my favourites, and couple that with music that totally got me hooked to.
Album of the year will probably be Amon Amarth's "Twilight of the Thunder God". Despite it being the typical style that Amon Amarth plays, i find it hard to dislike the album. It's just so, Amon Amarth!
Perhaps the only difference is the lyrics theme. It has always be Odin, Viking Mythology without a notable mention for Thor. And guess this album is dedicated to Thor...

On the lighter side and more appreciated type of music, it has to be The Glorious Unseen... Amazing band that i just got to know this year. Their worship album, "The Cries of the Broken" brings nothing more but powerful and reflective lyrics for those in need of God's anointing.

------------------------------------

I was definitely facing lots of emotional rides this year. Torn, broken, severely hurt internally... My mind wasn't able to cope with all the flowing thoughts of suicides...
I believe that I'm able to let go of these to begin moving on in life after such a disappointing year...
Knowing that holding on to the past will definitely get the better of me, and affect my relationship with those close to me. So it's best to lay down those memories of hurts and get on with life. For i have forgiven those whom I've hurt, and i hope, i've been forgiven to those whom i've hurt...

The one thing I should probably do is wake up and start looking at things in a rather more unselfish way. I admit at times, i'm blame Him for everything when things don't turn out well... I rebel against my own leaders as if i was right about everything. This must come to a standstill... It's probably my resolution for the year.
God was definitely there for me when i was down and out. The signs weren't clear to me, it wasn't and probably i let not only myself and the people around me down, but most importantly God.

Today, I feel better. Much refreshed compared to a few weeks back... And I thank God and the people around me for the much needed encouragments...

I wish everyone who read this a happy and blessed new year ahead... Everyone will be looking forward to a much better year ahead... Are you?

2009, HERE WE COME!

God bless
