On this last work day of 2009,

.

I arrived in my office staring at an empty space as all the colleagues were out having breakfast. It's a last working day anyway hence everyone is not quite in the mood to achieve much.
.

So everyone have made it to the end of another year.

.

In another 20 odd more hours, it will be Year 2010. Traditionally at this point in the year, we tend to look back at what has been achieved and also look forward to what we might do in the coming 12 months and beyond. Plan and plan and so?

.

For me this always feels kind of scary and exciting all in one. More than often, we don’t fulfill our expectations as our goals might just have been a bit ambitious and we are left feeling a little deflated. 2009 has been quite challenging, but actually has turned out pretty well for me and my family. We thank ourselves for being blessed to be able to ride 2009 smooth and steady. Especially for myself, I've been waiting for the day that I can at least prove to myself that I'm not so useless after all, or maybe I wasn't after all.

.

Probably I still cannot convince myself of my own worth as yet but I will - one day.

.

.

On this day marking the end of Year 2009, I'll just like a lot of things to go more smoothly for those close friends and family members around us.

.

Hopefully the in-laws are more involved with elderly activities or grandchildren in their daily lives since they can still afford their time and energy. More luck and blessing may be bestowed on our other family members though. Our close friends who are feeling deflated may be more charged and motivated to move things on and make things happen for themselves.

.

Life is somehow, 60% fated, 40% in our own hands so why let only 60% decide what goes for us.......?

.

Here, let's continue to raise our glasses and cheers to more new heights, more new beginnings and blessings........HAPPY 2010 everyone!

This is

where I officiate.
.

.
My humble desk after spending 1 hour early in the morning wiping off the dust and dirt; so finally my work table on my first day at another office.
.
Last weekend was humble. Dear son was sent to his grandparents' so home-packing and cooking is made possible. The family is making some slight adjustment effective today with Mummy's adjustment into her new workplace so more to be seen......
.

I'm counting

down to my last day of work in the town area and I'm packing my stuffs one by one starting today.
.

.
The only thing I'll most probably miss around downtown is the choices of food during lunch hour. From where I'm located in the future, I doubt I will get to enjoy the luxury of food choices but on the positive note, I'll probably save more.
.

We finally

managed to find a time slot on Monday evening to watch Mummy's anticipated movie 2012.
.

.
cos Mummy has been looking forward to watch this movie, Daddy have to oblige. Can you imagine how Mummy will look like if she do not get to watch it?
.

.
Better not even think about it.
.

.
Christmas bling blings have been put up everywhere around Singapore downtown and Mummy has been looking forward to be able to find some time to walk down town Orchard Road with the family to enjoy the bling blings!
.
It's after all year-end season and time to let the hair loose to relax and immerse in the cool and beautiful bling blings.....
.

Last weekend, we were

having a lot of fun over at Downtown East.

.
Mummy booked a chalet over the Hari Raya long weekend and took everyone (the ole' and young) for some fun in the east side of Singapore.
.
Hence on that afternoon after we parked "L" properly at the carpark, we left it alone for the next 3 days while we checked ourselves into a quite 'tiny' room but enough for good time-out of our humble home.
.

.
Oh, dear son's favorite playmate joined us during our stay at the chalet so our little boy was over-joyed with the company. The rest of the gang also dropped by on Saturday evening for a good BBQ session and adults chill-out.
.

.
Besides the usual laziness, we also took this rare relaxed opportunity to bring the children to their all time favorite past-time - games. They even played themselves silly at Explorer Kids!
.

.
Oh well, the adults didn't want to lose out either, they played their adult version of bowling too.
.

.
Then brought the kids to watch a "Live" performance by Looney Tunes gang....
.

.
So what else have we missed? Quite nothing actually but we're all simply relaxed and happy when we checked out. Till next year..............we'll be back!
