To me, every year is a greeeaaaat year in spite of all the ups and downs. Come on, there's like 365 days a year, at least half has to be filled with joy and laughter. Like I always say little things make me happier than you can imagine. I may not show signs of joviality outside and that's because I dont want to be read like an open book by every one and anyone, but deep down I'm overjoyed most of the time.

2oo8 is an awesome year because I got to travel out of the country twice. Heeheee. Maybe for once, I should show my easily satisfied self. As long as I get to travel to places, I'd be in seventh heaven. Even if it means going to Bangkok for the 3rd time in a span of 1 year. I love travelling, especially those trips which requires me to raise my own funds from scratch. That I am referring to my 2-week Taiwan holiday. :D

As 2oo9 approaches with the yet another recession, I know well enough that I have to watch my spending. When times are gloomy, the businessmen get hit real hard. My parents are definitely not making as much as before, and it's best to start saving for the even rainier days ahead.

Despite the negative economic outlook, there are still 2 thousand and 9 things to look forward to. I think Franz Ferdinand is returning with a new album end of Jan. :D Harry Potter's adventures will continue to unravel in the cinema. More paperback versions from Penguin Classic as the books age. Straight and beautiful(?) set of teeth after a close to 2 years treatment in May. About the braces, I'm really not certain yet. The earliest Chinese New Year in my entire life time is something I so look forward to. There's the Kaching Kaching, cookies, junk food and new clothes and shoes. :D:D:D:D

See life is still going on strong. Money can buy me happiness when I get to splurge on shoes, clothes, cds, books, cameras and whatsnot but excessive spending can cost me a lot more. Saving up to buy what I really need/want makes the item more desirable. Am I right?

Yups. Wishes for the New Year. Just one! I want good health. For the last 2 weeks and first few days of the year, I've been falling sick. And I hate being sick. I hate feeling unwell. I hate period! I want to be in the pink of health this year and the years to come.

Cheer.s

I'm writing this on the 6th day of 2oo9 so you can just pretend that you're reading this on the last day of the 2oo8. :D
