2008

It's now 22 hours counting down to 2009. 2009 would be a very challenging one for me, with changes of environment and all the unknowns. However, this time, I'll leave the unknown to be unknown and to celebrate the new year to come, I'll do something different in looking back at what 2008 have brought for me in this entry.

2008, travelling from having my 1st election time, addition of 50mm lens to my camera collections, 1st ever trip to Redang Island with finally able to snorkel with a 'swimming' knowledge (I know I'm too old to just learn that) after all these years, 1st ever Tequila shot, 1st ever mini skirt in front of you-know-who-you guys-are, 1st ever met up with Big time International Big Star-Michelle Yeoh and a lot more....appreciate a lot what I've gained from it. Thank you to the colleagues and friends who have been giving me support and encouragement during my down days. I'm having fun to get to know you all better through all the fun & chatting session that we had. Not forgetting also friends from my childhood who had been accompanying me through the whole year with loads of fun and activities that kills my time whenever I'm bored. I will definitely miss all of you when I'm away.

The best thing that I had was I finally manage to realize the dream that I have been yearning for the past 10 years - a Working Holiday Visa to UK. Yes, I'm going to stay in UK for at least a year starting from February 2009, and also taking the opportunity to travel around UK and definitely Europe as well. Also, this will be a good life experience and memories that I'll be having and at the same time a very great challenge for me. But with the supports from friends and family, I'll strive hard with courage. Lastly, thanks also to my parents for always being there and for your good health so that I'm still able to chase this dream without much worries. Thanks also to my siblings who have been supportive as well, especially my sister who had been supplying me with the winter clothing which I'll be very much in need for the trip.

All in all, life is still not too bad to me. I'm content. Looking forward for another fruitful year, 2009.
