Reflections on 2007

2007 is another challenging year for me.

I have to fight another severe episode of depression. Luckily, I have the help of my dad's friend and a renowned psychiatrist Dr. Wong. He came to the rescue in April and I was fortunate to receive treatment immediately in April. I have been doing quite well now, continuing taking anti-depressant, and I have also kept in constant contact with a local psychiatrist and a very good psychologist in case I needed immediate attention. It's funny how my doc parallel this condition to a diabetic, but again, I am more fortunate than a diabetic because I don't necessarily have to be on medication all my life.

At work, I have created a comfortable environment for myself and I am working quite autonomously. I have gain much respect from my peers so there is now synergy at work, I am spending much less time working on issues.

I have been continuing my goal to establish myself in the soccer field. I am happy to say I have succeeded by being promoted to captain for our dept soccer team for next year. Although my ultimate goal is to coach little kids, not big kids, but it's one small step closer to my goal.

I am continuing my work helping people around me and helping the students at KWCAC. They are a handful but I think I am now enjoying my time helping them. It's a very satisfying experience.

Lucinda has been my big sister and continue to have strong influence on me in my quest to become godly. She is a wonderful person and I will learn much from her.

All my brothers are now in North America, within an hour flight from each other. I think this is the start of something tremendous as we can co-ordinate our activities with much more efficiency than before.

I am looking forward to 2008 as I believe this will be the turning point of my life and the lives of the people I care and love.
