Six Months Later

The New Year of 2008 burst upon the scene in style as I watched fireworks dash dizzily across the sky above KLCC - golden cascading waterfalls of sparks and stars spilling down as if into the unblinking eyes of those watching. The red umbrellas that opened up right above my head - the noise deafening yet muted by the breathtaking display that made my heart skip a beat in wonderment and hope. 2007 was simultaneously a blur of fresh experiences , challenges embraced and to-be executed projects littering my work landscape. Six months of being in a state of stretch - abilities and beliefs - imbued me with newfound confidence and stability. Like the vodka martini - shaken sometimes by my own insecurities but not stirred.. Almost no regrets - except for a sense of nostalgia for what could have been that sneaks up sometimes. It is balanced by the sense of relish that comes from biting into substantial portions of life-changing events. I pushed myself to jump and grew after every hurdle. What's even more exciting is that there's more to come in this new year..
