3 Years Blogging Anniversary

This has been a very different year. I ended up spending another year in UNMC doing PostGrad. It's kinda hard in the beginning thinking my coursemates stepping into the society earning money, but hey, actually most of them are doing either 4th year, Master, or PhD. I admit that I actually learned a lot of new stuffs setting up my lab, but seriously BEng knowledge doesn't help much, Diploma does!

The transformation of my experiment rig:

Lab work can be very stressful, doing repetitive works that will not promise any result. If I get to quiet down and think about this path that I've taken, it never fails to depress me. However, joining the PostGrad team do have some great events, they are really nice colleagues that I guess never can be found out there. I mean, how good it is to celebrate birthdays in the office, leaving early for badminton, and play DOTA at night sometimes :P

Great people in the office, N block and B block:

One of the reason that I think God put me back here, is for CF and ConneXion. I'm really happy that both join forces a lot this year. Just like the Christmas event last year, there were a good balance of both members in each session (band, act, dance). It was my first time joining dance and leading a band myself, and the name of our band is Green!

CF Christmas event in Nottingham University:

When I thought that's awesome, here comes Easter. I wrote script for the first time, directing and participating in the acting as well. A few audiences accepted Christ that night, praise The LORD! Also, when a close friend told me that he really felt being used for the glory of God for the first time, the joy was overwhelming. We actually thought nothing will work out during the preparations, too many problems and barriers, but by God's grace, it was wonderful.

My smartest angel outfit of the year:

I'm back in performing again~ We formed a "PhD Band" for our uni's Music Talent Quest, playing a mash of 8 songs! My first time in a band competition, though we didn't win, it's a great experience. Next, a band performance for an academic conference, POCER in our uni. First time leading vocal while playing keyboard for a song, while Sarah did the other 9 songs. It was a sweet and simple band. Oh ya, back on recording songs again, check out my playlist at the sidebar.

MTQ and POCER performance:

It's marvelous to be involved in the declaration of love. I was the pianist for Christopher Lee and Stephanie Lee's wedding. The opportunity to work with other great musicians were great, but the fact that my playing blessed the couple, it was just pure awesome. Also, the proposal of Robert Yee to Cheryl Chan, I helped making the proposal cardboard! Too bad I won't be around for their wedding, Congratulation!

Season of love:

"The one who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind, will never be shaken"
-Psalms 15:4~5-

Without realizing, a lot has been done and it has been a great year. I'm grateful that wonderful things are accomplished together with people that share their love and faith, like Benjamin, Wei Ern, Wen Shan, Joseph, Legend, Terrence and Lynton. Summer break is ending, also means that a new chapter is starting soon, God bless everyone and everything that we're gonna do, Amen!
