reviewing 2008- embracing 2009.

o boy..im friggin' tired now. i thought since my arms are aching...why not go cycle. haa... so off i went on my trek. wonder how much distance i covered jus now....wonder how long it'll take to cover 40km on a bike uh.... hmm. anyway im rather psyched abt the ocbc cycle..wonder what the jersey looks like. hee..

tonight is one of those nights. rather tired and sleepy now, but i just dun wanna tuck into bed. spent some time alone outside, enjoying the quiet night, the occasional breeze, music from my iphone, and the joy of finding peace in my heart. winding down, flashes of 2008 came to mind. Take a step back, relook, review and question. what's all these buzz about in my life? its certainly all about love. tonight, im overwhelmed with love, and i feel strangely secure and happy alone. maybe cos im feeling rich in my spirit. maybe cos i feel content. maybe cos i've learnt and am embracing and cherishing what i have. maybe cos i have forgiveness in my heart. maybe just maybe. 2008 had been a fast year, i've lost some, but gained so much more. life, whether we like it or not, is pretty messy and stuffed up at times, and it seems any attempts to simplify it can be rather frustrating. the shades of grey challenges the black and white approaches. on the other hand, life can be really colourful too. full of warmth, passion, zest, and hope. the sky's the limit. the point is i guess, not to get deluded at the extremes..learning to strike a balance, which requires alot of wisdom, and awareness of self and the people around you. being true to oneself, and getting reminded that happiness is not something one can achieve alone. mind's rather saturated. feeling apprehensive yet hopeful, excited and liberated when i think about what 2009 will bring.

there are certainly a few areas where i wanna better myself in the year 2009. and i'll work towards the targets that i've set for myself. i wanna live fruitfully and meaningfully, with hope and, bringing hope :)

with doubt i seek, with courage i believe...i believe and therefore speak.
