20. What was the funniest moment of
your year, one that still makes it hard not to burst out laughing when you think about it?
O my.. I had plenty. I guess I just have
a happy life.. But if there is one that I would tell my
grandchildren is this : So 10 of us were strolling around in
Amsterdam and we walked in to a cheese store.. And we were trying
out cheese just spreading out around the store and after like 10
minutes we all walked out and start wandering around again. Or so we
thought. After about 15 minutes of walking, one of my aunt who lives
in Delft, realized that one people were missing. She was like “one
people's not here!” in sort of a panicky state. And we were all
like “no . . . we all here!”. So my aunt who lives in Delft got
a phone call and it was our Aunt Bian! She was left at the store and
none of us realize that she was missing. Oh, it was funny and a
little bit mean actually. But still, we all have a good laugh
everytime the story came up.

differently and why?
I would definitely shopped less and
use the money for charity.

track of time?
Pinterest. That is one evil
application.

learning about?
History of places that I visited.

cultivate?
Exercising regularly 3 times a week. Reading bible
everyday. Taking less sleeping pills
25. What advice would you give to your
early 2014 self if you could?
Definitely to use money more wisely.
I hope you enjoy reading my answers as much as I had fun answering it! Some questions did make me ponder a bit more about life..
May God make your coming year a happy one! Not by shielding you from bad times, but by strengthening you to bear it. Not by making your path easy, but by making you sturdy to travel any path. Not by granting you unbroken sunshine, but by keeping your face bright, even in the shadow.
Happy New Year 2015!
