Seems like time is moving at an accelerated rate and before you know it, a year have already passed. 2009 will be a year that I will never forget. It is the year where I learned that if you want something really bad, just go for it! And with enough persistence and with God’s will, you’ll get it! It was a year when I learn that I can push myself to the breaking point and come back sane. This was of course with the help of loved ones, encouraging me all the way through. And I’m thankful that I have them by my side.

It was the year that I started my full-time job as a Systems Engineer, writing kernel drivers for embedded communication chips in an R&D firm. It was the year that I learn - no matter how much you think you know, there are still things which are unknown to you. Learn and soak as much as you can. Then use the knowledge wisely to help you solve the problems you face everyday.

As I look forward to the year ahead, I thought of the resolutions that I should accomplish by the end of the year. Kinda like a short-term goal. Sitting at Starbucks a few days ago, Mer and I decided to come out with our new year’s resolution – something tangible so that we will know what we should work towards to. Here is my 2010 resolution:

1. Get a driving license.
2. Save $10,000 by the end of the year.
3. Learn and master at least one new programming language.
4. Be more proactive.

And on top of that, I really hope that I can get my award-winning photo by the end of this year. What is an “award-winning-photo” you might ask? Budding photographers are always trying to get that awe-inspiring photo which brings them up to the next level. I’m still in search of that particular photo – a photo that not only shows the beauty because of the angle or lines or colours or perspective. But one which has a composition that tells a much deeper story than what the eye can perceive. The “break-through” photo.

I hope 2010 will be a wonderful year for everyone. May all of you accomplish what you’ve set out for this year. Cheers.
