So Long...Farewell....

So long....farewell....auf weidersehen goodbye....

I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye....

I'm glad...to go...I cannot tell a lie
I fleet, I float, I fleetly flee I fly...

Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...2009

There's about 11 hours left to 2009 and i've decided to use a small portion of it to contemplate the year. I won't lie and say its not been a tough year coz it has, esp the last couple of weeks. But has it ruined me or brought me down? Nah!

I could list the events and happenings that have brought me literally to my knees in some instances but seriously, what good would that do me? Other than make for interesting reading, there's no use since i'm not into throwing pity parties for myself? (do love the party bit...hahaha)

So what have been the highlights instead of 2009?

• seeing my dad go from losing function of his legs to walking and driving again!
• spending 2 weeks with my sister who happened to visit the same time i was down in Malaysia for the summer (yes & the irony of it is that we actually live on the same continent!)
• being strategically reassigned to the Corporate HR team
• travelled 4 times to Malaysia and also to Haiti, Jamaica, Cancun, London, Dubai, Vienna & Bratislava
• going back to my Alma Mater  after 15yrs for a weekend of fun memories
• seeing my mom launch her first book titled "Family Chronicles" (I am very proud of her for this achievement)
• making new friends and strengthening the bonds with old friends (I so heart u all...muuaahhh)

And this is just from the top of my head!

I've a few things planned for 2010 which I will reveal as it happens. Got that whole superstitious thing going ;0)

As always I make no resolutions coz i don't see them past the first month but this I promise myself: plenty laughter, self-fulfillment & satisfaction, travelling & good health.

Happy 2010 folks! May you always have a pocketful of sunshine, a bounce in your step, a twinkle in your eye and a heart that skips a beat with joy & excitement...
