Rounding up 2008

2008 is coming to an end soon and I had some time to think about what had happened throughout the year... Wow! Lots... lots of ups and downs.. A few major ones are

1) Motherhood - I watched how Zorian grows and it is really mixed with tears and laughter
2) Schooldays - I left work for school but had to stop it and back to work
3) Marriage - Tough times as we ride through financial and emotional problems
4) Health - My dad suffered a stroke right in Jan 08 and marks the beginning of a bleak year
5) My Best friend, Wooyin's mum, passed away :(
6) Economic Crisis

Perhaps there are many more but probably these are the few major ones on top of my head now. Leaving work for school was an attempt to pursue my dream. A really brave one I suppose. Even though it ended nowhere but there was no regrets. I tried. With a different priority and perhaps sacrificing this pursue for my family, I hope things will turn out well in the end. Only time will tell. So, its back to work again or rather trying to get back to work. :) The stroke which caught my dad had put the whole family in some kind of a 'trial' test of the love we had for one another. United as we stand, I would say/hope that the worst storm is over. At least things are more stable now. As for the economy, it was also laden with bad, worse or worst news ever. The economy is now in a terrible recession with high inflation rate, high unemployment rate.. what can be worse? So in the meantime, will try and spend more time with Zorian and catch up with friends... Life can still be nice with simple things.... :)
