Hey 2009! Bye 2008!
It’s supposed to be the first post of the year, however, due to the previous one, this is the second for this year! Anyway, happy new year that all is well, good is good and bad is bad (What the hell I’m trying to say). 2008 certainly does sounds an auspicious year for Chinese, the word eight(8) symbolizes luck in their native language, however reality differs so much from the fantasy world.
There is so much, and too much to be recalled of the indicents that is happened throughout this year, not only to ourselves, but also to people around us, around the world, terrorism, toxified milk, earthquake…and more. For me, 2008 has been tripled of what a rollercoaster ride can give me, or maybe even more. I guess learnt from experience on how difference people is at different places, especially country and culture. While most of my life were spent back then in my home country, this year somehow is different where I’ll have to embrace myself with a lot more of new thing, new people, new colleague, new housemates and so on. I can of course first say it’s a blessing to have such a chance to travel to this place for work, but on the other hand, everyone also understand this comes with a price, of letting go things back to what we are used to in our lives.Foods, friends, cars, entertainments…
Though I’m not yet really prepared for this brand new year, I’ll keep on stand strong and wait for upcoming challenges. Though at this point of time, there’s a usual saying back in Malaysia, that the first 5 year of a designer is almost like learning to swim, either after that period, we’ll get drown, or give up or we swim further down deep into the beautiful and mysterious sea. Good luck and all the best to you. Cherish the people around you. I mean it. And as people gets busier, we neglect all the small little things that builds up to something that we can never imagine, bond between friend that breaks, trust between family members that’s gets worse. If you see me at the street, do say hi! I’ll shout HOI! 
And not to forget, my portfolio has been refreshed with new works throughout this year, though there’s still some more work I would like to put in, yet to collect enough material at this point.
