Well, 2 days late am I with my summary-of-the-year post. I think, actually, it can be summarized with the testimony I gave during the Thanksgiving service last wednesday:

God has protected me through the past year, from myself (heheh), from other dangers and from the flora and fauna of Pulau Tekong and Marsiling, and provided for me in education, recreation, relationships and many more things which I can't start counting. This year I've really gone into the heights of exhiliration and the depths of depression haha...

My family who supported me throughout the year, (quote from my testimony) "My father who never failed to bring me back for book in in time [He never failed to get me to VJC in time either in 05 and 06 =D], my mother who always ensured that I got all the stuff I needed for my next field camp, my sister who baked me a box of cookies for my confinement weeks in OCS (of which I ate half a cookie every day ), and my brother who provided monosyllabic words of support down the phone"

From BMT all the way to OCS, I met good friends and people whom I would trust my back with in a war.

Great friends and squadmates from SJAB (unfortunately I do not have an up to date picture of my camera-shy No. 1) and

new friends made in training for St. John once deferment occured and Yiyang put me to work within 24 hours training the NC team

Friends back from JC

one who left for Southampton

and another for Thailand

Teachers who wrote books!

And then it was on to university with

The best OG with whom I've surfed the highs of Medicamp and the lows of CAs (and finals haven't even started yet =Pp) where I made new friends and discovered old ones

The best anat group who've given me a lot of fun, laughter and embarrassment =D

KE7 VCF which I owe a lot to in terms of support and encouragement (Peng Siang and Melody missing from the picture. Why did I close my eyes!?)

Pushing ahead in my fencing life with the NUS team, though, of course, I am and always will call myself a FM fencer!

Oh yea, its certainly been a very topsy-turvy year. And maybe 2008 will be just like it =D
