New Year 2018 in Langkawi, Malaysia, we were in Cenang Beach to see the countdown and fireworks display. Many travelers were there. Almost the 3 km shoreline of Cenang Beach was covered with tents, benches, mats, and people standing.
Most of the crowd rounded the huge bonfire which was the main area of the beach. Everyone looks so excited. Minutes later the countdown began, followed by a fireworks display. It was beautiful to see the dark sky lightened as fireworks pierced up and popped like iron dome rockets.
The sound of its explosion and colors were remarkable. Nana, our eldest could witness this beautiful experience, but Nemi, our youngest could not. People shouted with joy, greeting each other Happy New Year.

The 2nd of January was our last day on the island. We learned from our past experience the overpricing noodle we ordered. At this time, we were cautious not to eat without asking first the price.
Eating street food was on our mind to less our spending and as well as to experience local cuisine. Most of what we tried was curry almost tasting like Thai food. The only difference was the eating manner because most locals eat with hands. The second was the service because of no free water, no soy sauce, no tissue, and no toothpick ready on the table.
But what is good about in Cenang, there are lots of restaurants and choices of food- Western, Arabian, and Asian that you can try.

As it was our last day, we had time with our Father. We were thankful for all that we experienced throughout the year 2017. He gave me His word for this year 2018. He said that I am going to face giants in life. He told me the story of David who defeated Goliath, a giant who was triple bigger than his size.
David learned not to only trust in his skill. He knew that his skill is not enough. To be a winner He needs the Father's help. No need to follow what others say. He did not need to carry the shields of King Saul.
David learned not to only trust in his skill. He knew that his skill is not enough. To be a winner He needs the Father's help. No need to follow what others say. He did not need to carry the shields of King Saul.
However, David knew who he was. He was never insecure by how peoples' labeled him. He was the son. He was unconditionally loved by the Father and he knew he was going to win the fight. He got his winning spirit not from His skills but from His Father.
To be a champion, we need to be supernatural. I could not overcome the giants in life If I only rely on my own skills. And as I am His son, I have a privilege to access this power.
David released the stone from his sling, but to land the stone zero on his target; first, he needs accuracy drawn from his experience and second he needs supernatural which he got from His relationship with the Almighty Father.
