....... of 2011, the new year.

Yours Sincerely ( Y S ) is a few days' late writing this new year's page. Many would have written on their 2010's escapades and, perhaps, their long list of new year's resolutions. Y S expresses his gratitude from the innermost core of his being for His grace to usher in 2011. That means another year to live on this glorious planet, earth. Recounting 2010, Y S has the Almighty to thank for being able to live through peacefully, joyfully and fruitfully, and so the file for 2010 is closed and stacked up !

2010 whizzed past so fast especially the last two months when YS and Better Half were inundated by the flood, and then followed by the frenzy of house cleaning and repairing. The knocks and drills of the mason had just petered away and so were the drips of wet paints of the painters. A few sticks of new furniture had also been delivered. And after the bills were paid... o la..... the house is a haven again. Life restarts ! Another year of adventures to live through.

2011 loomed in differently this year for Y S because for the first time in his life, he and his better half attended a new year's eve count-down mascaraed party at the Royal Kedah Club, instead of the year end church service. You have to guess what we dressed up as ! It was, indeed, fun to see friends dressed up ( Some down) hilariously with face masks. Their Royal Highnesses, the Tuanku Sultan and Sultanah of Kedah graced the event.

And 2011 is very significant for Y S. HE IS LIVING THE LAST YEAR OF HIS FIFTIES !!!!! SO, it better be a great year for him before he turns ..................... !!!!

So, let's celebrate life and live ..................

Thought you were in NZ. Instead you went under cover :) Masquerade!
Guess with the Royal Kedah Clubbing it'll be soon when we'll have to address you not as Y.S. anymore but maybe (who knows?)
Tun Thom?

Hello Thomas,

It is great to read that you had a wonderful 2010 except towards the end of the year. I am also to glad to note that you have entered 2011 with great enthusiasm and exuberance and I am sure with the wonderful attitude that you have for living and life as such,you will have a great new year.

I suppose everything is in the mind.I have not made any resolutions for the new year although it used to be a regular affair in my life during my working life.I don't think I managed to keep any resolution for more than a week.

Now that the children are grown up and self supporting,I have very little responsibilities and thank God for helping me to fulfill my duties to my family through years and years of struggle.I now feel light and take each day as it comes and see what best I can do to keep me busy,engaged and productive.

Wish you and your family a wonderful new year.
Joseph
