Happy New Year!

OK, first of all, I DO feel guilty for not making an internet wish during Awal Muharram, which marks the NEW YEAR in Islamic calendar. That was just on the 29th Dec. So, I guess I missed it.

Then all of a sudden 31st Dec came in. And again, I missed this one. Today is the 1st day of '09, so it is kinda late to say, "Have a happy new year."

Good thing being a Malaysian, I have another chance to greet people with New Year wishes. And that would be on the Monday of Week 5 - Chinese New Year.

Having said that, I have 5 more weeks to come up with new year resolutions. Anyway, for those still feeling the vibe of New Year, be it Awal Muharram or 2009; HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU! May the new year bring better health and wealth to all of you :-)
