The clock shows 4.15am, 31st December, 2008...Less than 24 hours away from the countdown to 2009. For some reason I am restless and I am unable to get a wink of sleep. So many things are on my mind right now and so I decide to write my thoughts down....
I am enveloped with feelings of sadness and happiness as the year passes through another 364 days of my life. I have to admit that the year 2008 has brought me more sadness, challenges and disappointment more than achievements and happiness. It has honestly been an imbalanced year and I accept it as a trial from God.
It has been a part of my trait that family and friends become a very important part of my life. People come and people go....the saying goes. Likewise we meet and make new friends and we lose some too. From this experience, we learn 1001 different personalities and that adds to my resume of “Learning and Understanding the Nature of Human Behavior”....
What have I learnt the past 1 year...Life really and Absolutely Hurts... I am not feeling sorry for myself and I am not even blaming anyone for it. Career has been doubly challenging. I was faced with the worst criticism, write-ups, mutiny, and even backslaps from your own kind and from your own community – people you never expect. Gossips were being spread to bring me to my downfall and it spread like wildfire. Oh, what a trying time that was. But life Goes On
The sense of loneliness followed, 2008 saw Birthdays, Anniversaries, Weddings, Chinese New Year, Christmas, New Years Eve and the list goes on…. In a portrait, as I stand back to look at the bigger picture the sense of loneliness, gratitude, sadness and happiness caves in. Despite the bitterness of the lesson of life, there were some upsides. All in all, there are times I never wanted a SOLUTION just a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen and comfort.
GOD IS FAIR, in all my patience this year, apart from the blessings of the health and happiness of my family, relatives and friends, I was blessed and God gave me the gift of new friendship that blossomed in such a short period of time. It is true...things happen for a reason and people come into your life for a purpose no matter how short or long it is.
Because of that I, had just managed to make it in 2008, and I am strengthened to face 2009 together. I have a purpose now to fight, a purpose to believe and a purpose to be strong no matter what 2009 has in its pocket to surprise me.I start this year, by being thankful that I have all the people I love and that I am given new people to love, care and cherish. God works in wonderful ways and because of that I aim to become a stronger, more caring and more tolerant person. Things come and they go, but along the way you have to fight to keep those worth fighting for.
