The Calendar

Finally we have come to the end of the year and will soon step into the unforeseen future of 2009. Sinking gradually into world financial crisis and inflating cost of living amidst the chaotic political scene in Malaysia, 2008 is indeed a year of international affairs to include the overrated green Beijing Summer Olympics, the much-sensationalized US presidential election, and the recent Mumbai terrorist attack. Similarly looking at a micro point of view, there have been much unfavourable or less anticipated events occurred in my life throughout 2008. After all, the remains of yesterday are historical but the certainty of the future rests a game of possibilities and probabilities.

Therefore the future, signified by the new calendar year implies the idea of sighting ahead and to depart from the past. Previous benchmarks are to be reviewed but do not despair if resolutions were underperformed. Every counting year begins with renewed vision and dreams. Together with improved modes of execution, greater understanding and accelerated momentum, let us hope for the best as the New Year approaches. Wishing you all the best of luck!

…keep on the road you're on,
Runners, until the race is run,
Soldiers, you've got to soldier on,
sometimes even right is wrong……

...tonight maybe we're gonna run,
Dreaming of the Osaka sun...
Dreaming of when the morning comes…
