Cheers for 2009, Bye for 2008...

New year, new visions, new wishes, new resolutions, new hopes and dreams, and last but not least, a new lease of life ahead......

In retrospect, 2008 wasn't really a good year for me, but I have to admit that there were several joyous moments and unexpected instants that really put me in great laughs. I've actually been through the toughest time of my life, the time that really squeezed every bit of my sweat and sheer hard work, so far, though I know that still coming my way is a long winding endless road, unforeseen on-goings looming ahead, challenges to face and difficulties I'll have to brave.
Anyway, turning on to 2009, it was a great start. My first countdown (yup, my first time ever) alongside with my friends was an awesome experience. It's a good thing we did that in a bistro-like café; less crowded, no traffic jams, but still having the atmosphere around. We got ourselves some snacks, beers and cards, anything that could keep us occupied before the countdown, and even some complimentary party gadgets like poppers, whistles, flickering lights, clappers etc. So, the countdown went on, and we had a blast!!! Popping out confetti, blowing whistles, cheering, toasting and of course a few shots of photos, that was the moment where you'll put behind all your anxieties, problems, troubles, worries and stress. Goes to say that this was the coolest celebration I'll never forget for the rest of my life!!!
I haven't got the faintest idea on what's in for me in 2009......good or bad it's predestined. Nobody wants to suffer a wretched and miserable life, but sometimes things just got out of hand. Still, optimistic is the key. So, I'm looking forward for some pleasant surprises and a smooth ride in the journey of life. Meanwhile, I'll just savour some sweet memories left behind while preparing myself to defy all odds pending in the future.

After all, its C'est La Vie......
