This is definitely a very late post…been wanting to write a post on the last few days of 2011 to summarise the year 2011. But it has been such a crazy month in December and following another crazy busy month of work + festive holidays + deadlines + presentation dry runs etc…. and all these in the midst of desperately calling up child care centers, nursery kindergartens and any other available 2 or 3 hours lessons that Justin can go to in 2012.
Phew… a long list…. and I definitely do not intend to start my first post for 2012 with complaints and naggings. So i shall put them all aside for the time being now. 
Justin is now already 26 months old. How time really really flies. in the year of 2011, he has grown so much and also learnt and picked up many new skills. Now, his vocabulary is no longer limited to one word at a time. Many atimes, he is able to express clearly to us what he wants, even with his incomplete sentences. But I am extremely proud of him still because i do see children of his age are still not as expressive as him.
For that, i must really thank God for a great mother-in-law, who is not just our nanny and babysitter from Monday to Friday while both of us go to work. But she is also Justin’s main caregiver, tutor and entertainer. Hahahaha… quoting her, she always tells us that she always constantly got to think of what new things can she teach or entertain Justin when she comes the next day. I guess, all these can only be done with the great love of a grandma. Love is precious. And through her patient teaching, I see Justin learning new words almost every other day. I would not imagine what it will be like if its not her looking after Justin. 
Anyway, time has come that Justin should start to pick up and brush up on his social interaction skills. I have called up so many different places. Sad thing is that most of them are full full full to the end of this year at least. Sigh… so its waiting list after waiting list. All i can do, look up to Heaven, pray to God to open a door for us.
Meanwhile, I guess its just more playtime for this little cute one at home. Hahaha
Totally in love with his cheekiness, even though sometimes, can be pretty unbearable too!! Hahahahha… contradicting huh…. hur hur hur….
The other good news at the start of 2012 is that I just completed my performance appraisal for 2011. Thank God for a good appraisal and if nothing goes wrong, I will be due for promotion this year by 2Q. I believe that all these are in the plans of God, just like how he has planted me in this company in 2010 at a most unexpected circumstances. The things that I have gone through 2011 are really bitter sweet. But through all the exposure, learning experiences and tough circumstances, I think I can proudly say that God has definitely made me a stronger woman than what I thought I was, at least in my own perspective.
The Bible says in Isaiah 55:8, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways”.
I truly embrace this and I know that in the year 2012, Many many many greater things are yet to come. And I pray that God prepares my heart to be ready for all the upcoming challenges and mountains. Many things I am praying for to come true in 2012. God knows all the desires of my heart and I believe He is the only God who can bring these desires to reality.
I am letting Go, and letting GOD to reign, take control of my life.
