HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2013!

JUST A BRIEF NOTE TO SAY "THANK YOU" FOR ALL YOUR KIND SUPPORT IN WHATEVER FORM OR MEASURE. I TRULY APPRECIATE IT.

I know that I have been a little quiet over the past week or so. I have been really busy with travels and the festivities. Yes, the stories will continue and the pace will pick up soon.

This is the first year, in a long time now, that I truly feel the spirit of giving and forgiving. And I realise, it must be due to the fact that I am not closing my heart and mind as much as I used to.

As the year comes to a close, I have much to be grateful for. There is nothing that I have to or can complain about. This year has been instrumental in showing me a deeper part of myself. As they say, the journey within never ends. As soon as we think we have figured something out, something else will pop out to show us how very little that we really know.

I guess this is how everyone grows and evolve further with time and each learning experience. I am very thankful that I am surrounded by real friends and families who sincerely care about my development as an individual. Eventually, I hope that I will truly become the person I aspire to be.

EVERY FRIENDSHIP HAS EDUCATED ME IN ITS OWN WAY AND ENRICH MY LIFE BEYOND WORDS. I AM FORTUNATE TO STILL HAVE THE FRIENDS I HOLD DEAR, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET NEW ONES FROM VARIOUS LANDS.

I WISH THE VERY BEST TO ONE AND ALL. SINCERELY HOPE THAT THE NEW YEAR WILL BRING ABOUT MUCH JOY AND PEACE FOR EVERYONE IN ALL COUNTRIES.

MAY 2013 BE YOUR BEST YEAR YET - WHERE WISHES WILL BE FULFILLED AND LIFE WILL BE DEFINED WITH MEANING AND PURPOSE.

MAY ALL NEW VENTURES BRING ABOUT THE SUCCESS AND RECOGNITION WHICH YOU SO SEEK AND HAVE WORKED HARD FOR.

FOR FRIENDS THAT FAR, I PRAY THAT YOU ARE ALL WELL AND HAPPY AS ALWAYS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR PATHS CROSSING AGAIN.

TO THOSE WHO ARE NEAR, THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR ME AND BELIEVING.

TO EVERYONE ELSE -

LET GO OF THE PAIN AND HURT. LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT TO BE CLINGING ONTO ALL THESE NEGATIVITY.

LEARN FROM YESTERDAY.

LIVE FOR TODAY.

HOPE FOR TOMORROW.

DON'T LOSE YOUR FAITH AND KEEP BELIEVING IN YOURSELF.

MAKE THIS COMING YEAR COUNT!

2013, HERE WE COME!
