A new year, a new beginning. 2008 has been kind and I believe with optimistic mind set, 2009 will be a better year thus here are some of my 2009 New Year resolutions
1) Stop wishing I've loss weight
2) Stop staring at my friends food thinking theirs taste much delicious than mine
3) Stop buying books when I've not finished reading my last book
4) Stop accumulating my wants but be satisfied with my needs
5) Stop anticipating my next bag packing trip
Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
But to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,
But for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,
But for the patience to win my freedom.
- Ven. K. Sri Dhammananda

Life goes on
on and on like how Celine Dion sings my heart will go on. 2008 is a year of unpredictability, a year where economy goes into depression whereby my insurance company, AIA is doubted. However, among the calamity and heartbreak, here is my top 10 favorite moments;
01: The start of my one and a half month back-packing trip to Thailand and Laos. The moment I step out of Chiang Mai Airport, I know something in my heart has change…
02: Meeting numerous remarkable friends along the way in 2008, The PRESTAT babes and the multi-racial backpackers I’ve met in Thailand.
03: My chums picking me up from the airport, sharing my joy of finishing my long envious backpacking trip.
04: Screaming hysterically in Lee hom’s concert. His talent is extraordinaire! What’s is even endearing is that the concert ticket is a birthday gift from my chum, Mary
05: Volunteering in the Asian Civilization museum as a Buddhist guide.
06: Laughing my head off watching the House Bunny in the theatre with my chums.
07: The birth of my godson. Believe it or not, I was in the hospital when he was born. 18 of March!
08: Meeting Phra Panya, inviting me to be a temple boy in Ubon Ratchathani.
09: Turning into a vegetarian on 14 of August. I never thought it would be so easy and gratifying.
10: I’m leaving this empty as 2008 has yet to end. ;)
Regardless you like it or not, 2008 insists on finishing its last day of the year, if not the last minute…thus live your life happily, it’s your choice!

Feeling so Good...
when I opened up my eyes today
feel the sun shining on my face
it became so clear to me that everything around me is showing my way
I feel like there's no limit to what I can see or do
got rid of fears that were holding me
my endless possibilities
has the whole world opened up for me
that's why I'm feeling...so good
I never thought I would
jogging around my neighborhood
been taking care of myself like I should
I am who I want to be and
knowing of what I should do
cause nothing can bring me down
no one thing in this world can turn me down...
now that day is turning into night
and mum's home cooked dinner is my favorite time
there's nothing in this world
can break this spirit of mine
Rain comes heavily at night
but I still know the stars above are gonna shine
anything I hope will come true this time
Cause I'm feeling so good
I never thought I would
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is the unknown
Now is the knowing
And I should be lucky to know that...
