2008 wrapup.

2008 has flown by so fast, so many things has happened and I guess its been a whirlwind. I haven't really had time to savour many of it.

1. I have a new car, which has thought me a lot in turn about budgeting and the works. My pay gets cut everytime I'm paid. It has been a year of abundance, so in the last month and a half when they have started reducing our hours and all it has been a little bit painful. But you are still able to survive. It has also given me an added responsibility so not everything is so airy-fairy as it was for me in previous years.

2. I am going on a much needed holiday with downtime and awaytime to rest and rejuvinate the body. Much retail therapy and food therapy will be needed. Not to mention a touch of pampering. LOL! I've learnt a bit about myself as well, if needed I can be a great planner and do-er. Before I used to leave everything to someone else eg booking flights, booking accomodation, planning a skeleton itenarary... but now I can do that too! Hoorah for me. It is about time I started growing up!

3. I have a new baby. I met him around april this year the same time as my car. He came gift wrapped in my car... haha NOT! But he's taught me a bit too! Its amazing turns that life throws you once in a while. I was in a place where I have had my faith and trust removed, I was at a place where I guess I deserved considering the karma I had dished out 3 years ago. I got what I deserved I guess but now, things have changed. Or so they appear. Time will tell. But I am in a happy place now! :D

4. I have completely bar birthdays and special occasions stopped going out at night. Which is another sign I've grown. I used to enjoy it, I used to love it, but have replaced my love for going out with a love for playing mahjong, wii, etc and just hanging out with friends on our downtime. Wow how life changes you. I think I have enjoyed my share for a good 7-8 years and now it just doesn't interest me anymore. Babies and stuff I am still phobic of but that might change. Haha I just didn't wanna accept more responsibility and grow up did I?

I can't really put my mind to more stuff. I am thinking of continuing my masters - or not. We shall see what new perspective my holiday gives me. Thru all the twists and turns, the speed that time flies, I have learnt more of myself this year, I am content with who I am. I wouldn't change it for anything. Bring on 2009 I say with wide open arms. So much happiness amidst the world financial crisis. I am still surviving well. Shall I get a home next year when prices and interest rates fall? Only time will tell! Much love, hugs and kisses for the festive season. May God bless, May you have a very Merry Christmas and a Super New Year! Happy 2009~!! :D Thanks for the memories!
