neither writing annual flashback on new year nor making new year resolutions is my habit. I always thought that if I want to do it, I'd just do it, why would I need to wait for new year to ponder about it.

but it turns out that having plan does help. upto now, 4 out of the 5 things that I put on 'wanted list' some time this year have been accomplished. the only one left is the toughest of them all, which I'm still struggling with day in day out.

a brief recap of my 2008, the year that was.
- bintan CNY getaway
- europe 18 days whirlwind tour
- jakarta trip
- cameron highland weekend getaway
- macau birthday trip
- salsa class
- basic 华语 class
- helped out on book translations for the visually impaired
- opened a food stall in church fun fair
- joined batam build project
- continued serving in choir ministry, despite the proximity
- started writing articles on ad-hoc basis for kompas community
- attended a wedding anniversary, many weddings and helped out in a few of them
- made a few new friends
- plunged into a project with super tight timeline and resources

cheers to a fabulous year ahead!
新年快乐！
