Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone all around the world!

Finally, after so much of anticipation I enter a brand new year. I would like to start by saying that, this year, for me at least is the year of joy! Joy and Happiness should plague this year, only to wash away the sorrows that dragged us through the pass year. We have lots to learn from the year 2005.

For the 1st time, my new year was spent away from the common comfort for my family. Rather I ushered in the year with my close friends. Kinda disappointed that it was not possible for me to spend this special moment with all my close friends. Nevertheless, I knew that they would always be my side throughout this year.



I can safely say that this new year has really occupied me from enjoying this public holiday in peace. lol. Well for a start I came back home at 4 am. This was after my friends and I enjoyed the 1st few hours of the new year sitting and lazing around at the esplanade. Upon arrival back home, I had a few calls from my friends from England and France, sending me New Year greetings. On the phone close to an hour, I finally snuggled under my blanket to sleep, only to get up at 7:30 am. I did not set any alarm or any wake up call. Nature woke me up, I just woke up automatically. Thereafter, I turned to the newspapers to update myself on how the eastern cities have celebrated the new year, and how the western have yet to.

Church was my next destination. I felt a sense of satisfaction going to church on the 1st day of the year. Prayed for all me friends, that the year would bring joy to all. And also that my close friends would be closer then ever. At church, I met couple of my long lost friends, it was so joyful. I have not spoken to them for close to 5 years. Sadly the only “sobbing” thing was that, we total forgot to exchange our contacts. Probably cus we were overwhelmed over our encounter. Well I hope we can meet again to get the contacts. Silly me! lol

Thereafter, my family and I immediately went over to my uncle’s place. He invited us over to his house for lunch. It was interesting cus it was the 1st gathering for the Christmas seasons in our family. Anyway, something that made me really happy, was that I collect a pretty sum of money. I shall not disclose how much. Well we stayed there till 7. Now I’m finally back home, so happy to be home. I now am spending my new year at home. So what a busy new year’s day. Haha.

Now I’m all ready to start the fresh year. A year of joy!

Happy New Year!

God Bless.
