Looking back...moving forward....

Today is the first day of 2009...the start of a year which everyone has already labelled as gloomy and troubled. Well, it may truely be a troubled year...depending on what my boss tells me later this month. lol. Things are not looking good and bonus and increment are definitely not going to be as good as 2008. Hence...no more unneccessary spending in 2009....which I did alot in 2008. Bought lots of stuff last year...from clothings to accessories to ...I dont know what.
If not for the onset of recession, 2008 could have been a great year. I been to a few new places..Tokyo, New Orleans and Perak, made some really good frens...Juztin, Paul, Gabriel and Robin...passed my Basic and Final Theory...though I am not really keen to go for the practical lessons...lol.
Moving forward...I hope 2009 will not be as bad as everyone made it out to be. I am not going to set new resolutions as I know I seldom fulfill them. Just feel that I should do things that are more meaningful....and stop wasting precious time. 28 turning 29 already, getting old and life is short....especially after hearing about Chew Chor Meng's illness....you feel helpless and uncertain about what is going to happen to you a few days or a few years down the road. Hopefully, by the end of 2009, when I look back at the things I did, I can proudly say I have done things that are fruitful and enriching.
With that...I wish everyone a Happy New Year..All the bests for 2009! Despite the bad times...lets hope for good health for us and for our frens and family.
