Today is the last day of the year and it also happens to be my youngest sister's birthday... so a very very happy birthday to her... This also brings me back to my student years when I was in Edinburgh and we celebrated Hogmanay :) That was a wonderful period in my life... To go back to what it was seems impossible...

This year... Many things had happened to me... I fell in love, and fell out of love... I felt hatred and also vengence... but managed to keep it in control with prayers... I lost weight and also gained double than before... I gave people second chances not knowing if that is the wise thing to do... I extended my friendship to people beyond my normal circle... and the infamous one of all is i joined that "youth ship" of which stories are to come... and not to mention pictures...

I am still not prepared to tell people about what happened in the ship or rather not in the mood to write about it. I have told my family members what had happened... It was a mixture of feelings... It was a good vs bad thing. BUT the idea of the whole program IS excellent!

Usually at this time of the year, people try to reflect back on the year and evaluate their accomplishments or behaviours... and they try to make a new year's resolution to make them a better person... I believe that if you want to make yourself a better person, you do not have to wait for the new year to be one... be one the moment you realised it... Why wait for a "reason" to re-vamp yourself??? There is no excuese not to start now... I don't...

As new year is coming very close, I reaslied that my food cabinet is empty... my fridge is DRY and my freezer frozen with ice... Its time for food shopping. I was supposed to go last week, but there seemed to be always something happening... so I only managed it last night!

I went to HUA HO MALL supermarket section and did some shopping... I don't quite like it... I had to go to several other places to get what i needed... argh... what is the use of having a supermarket when you don't have what you need... not going there to shop in a long time!!!

I then went to the Pasar Malam... It has changed!!! its looking much better with the white tents and less dirty tarmac ground. The tentants seems to be enjoying it as well... I know I do...

As i was walking towards my car with my vegetables in hand... I saw this old couple in the car opposite mine. They were quietly eating some food they bought and was enjoying each other's company. A friend once said to me, if and when you are comfortable with someone, silence doesn't seem so awkward... SIGH...

ohhhhh.... that is what I want... a lasting relationship with a basic friendship that made it last longer! :)

Oh yeah... I wish you all a very GOOD new Year... be good to yourself :) and have fun... *hugs* congratulations to those that had a promotion, married, had kids... or are going to... may your life be always filled with smiles and laughter :)
