The Eve Of 2011

As 2010 is drawing to an end, everyone is bidding goodbye to 2010 and making resolutions for this coming new year.

I can still remember that I was in Beijing China for last year's new year eve, initially I was hoping for a New Year Countdown or Fireworks at the Tian An Men Square but the weather was too cold to persuade me to leave my comfy room. Furthermore, our tour guide told us that apparently the locals don't really celebrate 1st Jan, instead they focus more on Chinese New Year according to the Lunar Calender. By the way, until now I still think that whatever he said about the celebration was a lie. So in the end, I spent the whole night staying in my warm hotel room watching TV programmes (such as their national orchestra performances, both western and eastern and dramas) and even fall asleep before the clock strucked 12am.

As for this year's new year eve, I am currently back to the small peaceful town of Taiping for the wedding ceremony of a friend of mine which will be tomorrow. 1/1/11 = 1111. Meaningful date huh? Sitting in front of my laptop while listening to the "noise" of Fireworks and Fire-Cracker. Reading people's new year shoutouts in Facebook and Twitter. Switching my mood to nostalgic and starting to recall on everything happened within the last 1 year.

Another quiet yet peaceful New Year countdown for me.

Frankly speaking, this 2010 wasn't really quite smooth for me. Stressful Tension moments and Heart-Breaking moments keep playing the "Catch Me If You Can" game for the first half of the year.  Thankfully I did manage to step out from the shadow during the second half of the year, especially during my 5 months internship period. You know sometimes if you take a step backwards from the circle and observe it with a third person point of view, you can actually view the entire situation clearer and thus evaluate the relationship better. With that, when disappointment strikes either an individual or the group, we can handle the down side of our emotion better and stronger.

Here is a link to the video of the World's famous new year Fireworks at Syndey Harbour Bridge. Nice Fireworks indicating a fabolous new year ahead.

And this London Fireworks were even better. Check it out. (updated on 2/1/11)


Any new year resolution form me?? Well, I just hope that me can graduate smoothly by the end of this coming May. The rest?? I think I will take a step at a time. =)

Happy New Year eveyone.
May this coming 2011 brings more health, wealth and love to everyone.
Cheers.
