2013, a year of CHANGE ! With the beautiful and able Ng Pei San in Penang.
It is now 2013 ! Fancy that. Here
I am sitting in my BIL’s condo in front of my notebook still trying to complete
my Malay article. I thought of using the oft-quoted but fashionable “Tirai tahun 2012 hanya
tinggal … hari untuk dilabuhkan semasa saya menulis artikel ini”. I guess I can’t make it on time. The “… hari” was amended from “3” until it can’t be
amended anymore. Maybe it was all the
distractions. Maybe it was truly a writer’s block. I could hear the countdown
from the poolside and the celebration just now at the stroke of midnight.
I would like to share this quotation
by Ellen Goodman with you : “We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room
by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this
year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...
not looking for flaws, but for potential”. On that note, I have never believed in
making new year's resolutions as we need to constantly improve ourselves and
not wait until the new year. Count our blessings and live our lives with
convictions !
