As you would not fail to notice, now there is a Daily Devotional on this blog. Just thought I would share with you guys what I read everyday. Do not think this is gonna be an everyday sort of thing, but will probably only post up those daily devotionals that I feel have a message that I feel a connection to.

On a similar note, a new year is upon us. And what a glorious one it has been. And I know in my heart things are only going to get better and better as the days turn into weeks and then into months.
Looking back at all that happened in 2007, it just fills my heart with pride to know that love truly overcomes and with God all things are indeed possible. 2008 presents its own challenges all of its own. But if 2007 is any indication, 2008 is going to be a great year for me and my family.

It has long been my inclination to make this blog more than just an avenue to record my thoughts and situations. And recent developments have only served to validate going in that direction. So from now on this blog will feature much more of my spiritual walk and how that all ties in with my daily life. There will be awesome testimonies, daily devotionals, thoughts and prayers. Hopefully my readers, feel free to air their own opinions.If anything else, I have some of the quietest readers about. I know they are there and faithfully read all the pitiful scraps I leave here, but hardly ever opine on what they feel about what I transcribe here. So hopefully in 2008, my readers will interact more with me.

There is so much about 2007 that I feel I should do a retrospective of all that transpired during one of the most significant years of my 'young' life.
Of course there was my solemnisation to my lovely wife in June. When we look back we remember it for many of the wrong reasons. But 2008 offers us an opportunity to heal those wounds and new hope in all the things that really matter.

So rather than dwell on the past, lets look forward to some of the goodies 2008 has in store:

- we are gonna start renovating the flat pretty soon. And once it is ready, we can then start to move stuff in. And then finally move in ourselves.

- We are also planning a wedding dinner at years end.

- Gonna be an uncle again for the 3rd time!

- plans to get a new car to replace good old Sunny

- Agnes just started at her 'dream job' at HSA. And she seems to be loving every moment of it thus far. Hopefully she has a long and fruitful career there.

- and so much,much more...

As Agnes is settling into her new job, we are behooved to go out and buy new clothes and accessories for her to wear to work. Hopefully on Saturday we will get to spend some 'us' time and see to it that Agnes looks her best at work.
Have to arrange to meet up Kaili to discuss more about the flat renovations. It has been an ardous task to say the least, trying to get our schedules to meet. We have had only one face-to-face meeting since the day we appointed her. Needless to say, we are getting a bit antsy about it. If this situation continues, then maybe we would be better off looking elsewhere. Kaili's services do not come cheap yet we have been left hanging in the air regarding what is to happen next. Maybe there is a perfectly good reason for the way things have been handled thus far. Or we have misplaced our expectations. But honestly, we got much better service from Mona and perhaps in retrospect we should have gone with her in the first place,otherwise we would not find ourselves in the predicament we are in now, with hardly anything concrete down on paper after so many months.
Of course Agnes being busy with her school and all played no small part, but surely Kaili could have given a better account of herself than she has to this point. She has made no intention to actually physically go to our flat for which she is designing, and based her ideas on the floor plans we gave her. And she seems rather preoccupied to find time in her schedule to accommodate us. So it seems that to meet up with her we have to take time-off and leave to meet her during office hours.
And that is not a road we will easily go down. Agnes has only just started in her new job, and doubt time-off or leave would be so easily granted. I myself have my own issues at work that makes it somewhat inconvenient to just leave the office at the drop of a hat.

I am also entitled to a maximum of 3 days marriage leave that has to be consumed a year from the date of registration. So by June 08, I have to take my allotment or forfeit it. Agnes mentioned an overseas trip in June or July, so hopefully I can utilise it then. If not then I would have to do it earlier just for the sake of things.
