before the day ends, let me welcome 2009 with an embrace. after welcoming 1430, 2009 seems like any other day, to me, at least.

i received so many messages last night that it almost got me irritated, because it somehow disturbed my sleep :0 but don’t worry, i don’t start the new year with grudges, haha.
thank you for the messages of hopes and prayers for 2009 for all of us. may all the best, and only the best for yourselves. :))

my 2008 has been a good year. truly. and it’s december ender is even better.
first half of the year was hectic for i took up a number of projects which pretty much revolved around Alive education, coming up with lessons and articles, some serious reviewing on Alive and had the opportunity to share my amateur experiences with new teachers. it’s what i’ve always wanted!

being a trainer myself teaches me a lot about education. simply put: i love what i’m doing! i’m determined to gain more knowledge on anything education: teaching/training/curriculum/planning/etc etc. there’s so much to learn from more experienced educationists!

one of the best achievement i had: DRIVING LICENCE! it’s almost like a ticket to freedom~ haha. and being able to drive my family around is such a good feeling really. this year, i want to drive more!! :))

and then i got a whole bookshelf for myself, i mean, my books! after so long stashing them away in the closet, they look so nice on the shelf! ok, i know it may sounds weird being excited about a bookshelf and books, but i can’t help it. :))
buy more books and read more!!

after a year and a half being a *TEMP, i can say i have a proper job now~ although still quite vague of my status, for i’m working AT one mosque, but really, am working FOR another mosque. neither here nor there, but at least, it feels like i’m having a real job now. when you’re a *temp, you tend to take things for granted. but now, i can’t afford to make mistakes. do pray for me. 2009 definitely sounds exciting and hectic already!!

and please let’s not forget the Bali trip!! what more can i say?? most friends might already know how we have been feeling about it, what’s with the countdown-ing to the trip and the many many post-bali pictures all over facebook and multiply and whatnots.

2008 is truly memorable. i’ve gained so much. so many people have made a mark in my life, especially on my knowledge and spiritual quest. and ender december was not only about getting a permanent job or bali trip but also something to do with what i used to termed ‘blue knight'(?) 😉

2009, here i come~~
