The new year countdown

During the final night of 2009, my family went to Bandar Puteri 12's hilltop to countdown into the new year. We were not alone as there was a coundown festival being held there, jointly organized by Bandar Puteri Community Support Group, Digi and IOI Mall Properties. Food and drinks are apleny so while waiting, we were entertained by dances, martial arts shows, and a live performance by a local band called Black Ally (which I'd never heard of).

We were lucky to be blessed with a clear starry night, with a full moon illuminating the night sky in its full glory. The scene could not have been better when gazing downwards from the hilltop towards a sea of lights spreading across the horizon.

10,9,8....3,2,1 Happy New Year!! Fireworks ignited the night sky, painting the sky with streaks of colours and patterns. The ongoing thunderous boom was close enough to be intimidating, yet the sight is too beautiful to behold. Far across the distance, folks of other locations had ignited their fireworks simultaneouly, and the whole night sky was mushrooming with dazzling arrays of fireworks. The feeling of standing on top of the world being able to witness everything was indeed breathtaking.... It was a simple countdown, yet it was the best I had, around the friendly neighbourhood of Puchong, and together with my family.

The remnants of 2009 fade away, ushering in the year 2010. As with every other new year, most people will be drafting out their new year resolutions. I have only one simple new year resolution, that is not to make anymore NEW resolution, but instead make realistic small goals for myself to achieve everyday, taking small steps towards the many resolutions that I had dreamed of and discarded for these past years. ;)

Happy 2010 Year everyone! Let's all do our best for the many challenges that will face us in this year, and at the same time take good care of our health and remember to laugh out loud and have fun as always. :)
