Sunrise!?... could have been sunset... You will have to figure it out on your own!

Every year at times, I take time to to think. Sounds strange that something so basic as thinking... I still need to take time off to do so. January 2010 started at break-neck speed... I supposed it is also because I have so much on my mind that the to-do list is starting to get longer and longer (i.e. the new things to do are getting on the list faster than I can get things done).

Most things that cannot be completed at work last year, rolled over to this year and they were big things too. With Chloe's sailing, I was speaking to people about the Langkawi Regatta as early as the completion of the Port Dickson Regatta in Nov 09... Frankly, from the pretty cold response at that time, I did not think so many sailors will end up going... anyhow, Chloe is also going... and she will have many friends there!... maybe last international regatta for this year before the entire focus goes to PSLE. Did not get to visit my aunts in Hong Kong last year and so I did it early this year and it was a great visit... just by the glow on my aunt face when she saw me at her door in her new place!... Perhaps I will do it again in the middle of year. Challenges at home are on-going so I expect much more energy will be going that way in 2010. That includes my current challenge on the spirtual end. I am just hitting a cold front in this aspect and finds it hard to place my burdens on HIM. All in all, it looks liked a full calendar for 2010.

21st January - the day that I lost my best friend 3 years ago. I do miss the Dude! He had become a great comfort to speak to since we met during primary school - yes, there are not many friendships that endure such a long time. For Andrew and I, I guess it is largely a question of personality chemistry. But I know he has gone to a great place and is with GOD. For that I rejoice and thank GOD for his abundant blessings. Liked last year and the year before, this week started a bit low for me because I remember the loss.

Personally, I too have to figure out if the picture shows a sunrise or a sunset as a reflection of myself and 2010. So, if you will excuse me, I will take a bit more time off to ponder!
