2012

I was never a big fan of countdowns on new years or any other occasions. The roller-coaster hype is too much to bear compared to the comfort of a chair, in front of a tele with junk food on hand; or the warm-my feeling of spending it with loved ones and God in church and the after-church food-fellowship. It has always been that way, slow and steady, warm and fuzzy :)

So when I got the job for emcee-ing a new year's countdown, in a 5 hour drive from KL, for quite a fair pay, I was puzzled in my own excitement XD

What is New Year to you?

The crowd were mostly families with children running all around. Maybe New Year's to them was a declaration of holidays and spending time together, nothing much like what I've prepared about resolutions and hope for a better year.

A bridge away from where I was, and probably the same all over the world, younger generation party hard to celebrate the passing of the old and the entering of a new and unknown year. Maybe some hadn't had a great year; some may not know what to make up of it; while some may just be overwhelmed with the past 12 months.

Marcel, had to work through the new years. He said he would have been partying as well with everyone else, but he has a family now. That's her lovely young girl whom joined him right before the countdown.

"It only happens once a year, where the hopeless can be romantic; and a resolution can become a revelation. Its about being able to do more, give more, and hope more."

New Year's Eve, The Movie

I am very satisfied with my past one year. Although there were definitely reasons to be unhappy with, the good sight of it all just overshadowed any reason to moan with. The excitement of my last year in college with an unknown future ahead has been really overwhelming, the wonderful people that keeps on being added into my close circle, the people that I've helped and helped me through the year, the miracles that I've came to know and be apart of (legs growing and blind eyes opening!) and of course that irreplaceable relationship with Him that has grown so much.

Its 2012! A year that is going to be filled with unknowns, a year right after 2011 which had the most natural disaster in history, a year which people made movies to tell of the end of the world;

But its gonna be an awesome year for sure! A year filled with surprises, a year to desire more, to hope and dream bigger than ever before, and a year to love more and forgive even more.

2012 is gonna be the bomb! And I mean it in a good way :)

Happy 2012 Everybody!!!
