A Year in Review

2009 has been harsh on me. I was and am still affected by the economy downturn. But who wasn't? It has, however, no impact on my spending. Sad to say, huh? I feel sorry for myself for the lack of discipline. It was too late by the time I realized it, well, year end is here. Of course, I know, I have to do something about myself.

Not being a fan of New Year Resolutions, and too ego to admit that it is, I am planning to be more disciplined in 2010. I am going to have more responsibilities from work and family.

I am, however, going to miss 2009. Friendships strengthened, the laughter, the joy, the love, the lessons learnt. Thank you, Allah for leading me the way to God-Mother, Ibu. Ibu has been one of the bestest person i've ever met in my entire life. Kata Ibu, mesti lah keibuan. I feel that she has taught me a gazillion things which many people did not teach me. She taught me love, family, sharing, forgiveness, being positive not matter what the circumstances were, and of course, happiness. So much she has given and provided to many of her godchildren. May Allah bless her always with good health, wealth, iman. Love u, Ibu!

As it has been a harsh 2009, lots of bad memories scarred me. Let's not talk about it anymore. Remember Ahmar, OPTIMISM is the key to happiness, love and looking youthful! But amidst all the negative things i have been through, Cousin T was thee for me. She may not always be there 24/7 but she never fails to bring me back to reality. My life would be even more sucky without her. Thank you, Allah. She has opened my eyes to see that the world has a gazillion opportunity that i can grab.

Now, for other sweet & happy memories......

Being chairman for the first time and extra special help from my committee, my department won Best Department for X'mas Competition 2009. That, I can say, a sweet and perfect ending to my ugly 2009. Something to smile about these few days. Now thinking of becoming Guru's disciple.. I think he will say yes.. hehe~

Of course X'mas is always sweet. X'mas = presents! Gave loads, received loads too! =D Tell me who doesn't like presents! Thanks everyone for their presents!

2009.. what else.. Ah yes, more plays and theaters.. lovely~ More and more tickets now.. hehe..

wooh! a lot more.. i feel blessed..

This what I want to do in 2010:
1) Take up spanish lessons
2) To go Barcelona
3) Save more money
4) Cook more, by accomplishing it monthly (cook and blog)
