Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!

How time flies by - another year has flown by.

Somehow, as the years pass by, holiday seasons make me want to spend some quiet time at home. It has already been an eventful year - depleting my yearning to go out of the year with a bang. No, it has nothing to do with aging. I still feel young, evidenced by my unintentional declaration on my first blood donation form as being still in the twenties a few weeks ago. It took my girlfriend five seconds to point out my mistake. And me another ten seconds wondering what I filled wrongly. The only dead-give-away of me aging is that almost everyone else around me is either already engaged, married or with cooing kids. Throw me in the streets without the dead giveaways (haha, no offence) and voila, I am in my mid 20s again (plus the creaky knees and bad memory). It's rare for people to re-live their twenties, I am glad to get a second chance.

Reflections of 2009:- As I always like to put it, Year 2009 was my turning point, a year of change. It was the year that I started truly discovering what I wanted in myself or the life that I want. It has so far been an memorable journey full of laughter, fun, passion, smiles, and yet some tears and heartaches. I must say, I am grateful for what 2009 has brought to me, my independence, an unexpected love, a closer relationship with my parents, the Beijing experience, time spent with my buddy, new friendships, lots and lots of laughter, my yearning for more new adventures and the realization of my next step among others. But not everything was good -  like the death of certain relationships. But it reminds me of what matters in life and what is real. But still overall, it has been a good year for me personally.

I wonder what 2010 will bring. I hope still more laughter in life, continued good health for myself and the people that I love, strengthened and happy relationships, continuous improvements in all aspects of life, clarity, courage and of course, prosperity and luck in my endeavors.

Well, here's to wishing everyone happiness in 2010. May everything be a blessing in life. =)
