A New Beginning

As 2004 comes to an end...boy, what a year it has been......

Time flies... 6 more weeks and we are in the new year..... 2004, has been a year full of interesting and some unexpected events.  Badawi's landslide victory, Euro 2004, Anwar's released, the Olympics, John Howard's landslide, Bush wining his second term and Arafat's passing.  The world scene has gone through many changes.

On a more personal scale, 2004 has been, like the events around the globe, interesting and unexpected year.  The excitement and disappointments of 2004, it is hard to decribe it with words.

Many times throughout the year I have asked God WHY? WHY it has to happen to me? WHY when things seems to be going well, a big obstacle has to put in my life? WHY God? WHY? Well, as many people has encouraged me by saying that all this happen for my own good.  Yes, indeed I do agree with them.  All events of the year happened for my own good.

The many incidents and happening of 2004 has developed me into a Man of stronger character.  A Man who realised the he need to make a stand and start making important decisions in life.  A Man who has to stop just talking and make promises and take ACTIONS.  A Man who got to start standing up  for what his heart believe in.  Many times in our life we use too much of our head to lead us in life, but like many things, it got to be balance with what we believe in our HEART!!  LIFE, could only be better if we balance our love for others and our love for ourselves!  As was mentioned somewhere in the Bible, how are we suppose to love one another if we don't love ourselves?

LIFE..... is a blessing from God. 

LIFE.... is for one to cherish, not for one to dwell over the many mistakes made.

Jumping onto the band wagon...

I have been throwing around the idea of keeping a blog.  I did start writing somethings some time back, but kind of lost direction in where I going with it.  It is like driving a car with no destination in mind. After reading numerous blogs life my bro's and friends alike and more friends, I decided to start a fresh and start blogging with the intention to keep many friends and foes a like, up to date on what on earth I have been up to all this years. 

It is exactly a year since I last been back in Malaysia.  This is the longest period I have not been back in Malaysia ever since I first came over to Australia to study.  Not too sure at the moment when I will be back.  At the moment, my passport is with the Malaysian High Commission for renewal.  Believe it or not, for a country moving towards being a developed nation, the service is still 3rd class.  It takes 5 months for the whole renewal process to take place.  Thus, no trip back to Malaysia could be arranged to the end of Q1 next year!!

For friends in Kajang, I am still alive and well.  Sorry for not keeping in touch via email or other means of communication.  The year has been a hectic one for me. Yes, I have been granted PR status and would most likely to be staying put around Australia until the 2 years period has been fulfilled.

For my many other friends and foes, apologies as well for not keeping in touch as often as I used to do way back.  I could come up with thousand and one reasons but should I was all the bytes?

Generally, I have been well.  If you noticed from the pictures below, I am darn jolly and happy!!!
