stay upbeat

it is almost 11a.m. now and the sun is shining brightly in the sky. it is such a clear day outside but a bit cold on the thermometer.
i am the only one awake at the moment and i have finished my breakfast and reading my morning paper online. the rest of the household are still asleep, dog included.
what is the day's activity going to be? i think the stores in town are still closed and they will only open on 27. there is no boxing day sale tradition here i think.
i think i will go and finish reading middlesex later. it is such an interesting story...nothing vulgar mind you. i brought 3 other books with me but they will remain untouch till i go back to malaysia. hahha..i thought i had time to do some reading here but i was wrong. will make sure i finish this one book.

oh, is everyone reflecting on 2008 that is almost coming to an end? i am counting the days for me to board the flight on 31 dec at 12 noon at frankfurt.
what does 2008 mean to me? i wanted to be happy in 2008, well and i guess i manage to stay in that line of happiness. anything special? not that i can think of. still single, a year older and still love shopping. haha...
what is waiting in 2009? it is the year to start saving, expand my part-time, not neglect the responsibilities given, and plan another trip to europe (??!!). oh shall i learn to use the sewing machine as well? this thought just suddenly came to mind few days ago. grandma is good with the sewing machine and the best i can do is to fix a dropped button. maybe i should give it a try. hard to believe huh?

well, hope the remaining days of 2008 will be good for everyone. stay cheerful and optimistic and whatever gloomy days will turn all right. have faith!
