The Year that was

The year gone by has been full of ups and downs.
The ups have been to opportunity to visit quite a few new countries (atlhough mostly on work), work on some intresting and challenging projects.
And the downs have been also quite a few, the main have been the passing away of a good friend (Paper Tiger), the impeding doom due to current economic crisis, etc
I can easily say that during the year I have managed to one prove my bosses trust in me right and also prove to myslef that i can handle tough and challenging assignements and events.
I guess the truing point professional came with the event on last dec 30th and the event on the 6th of Jan. Throught the year the Brand Re-Launch, Cityascape Duabi we also major achievements for me.
I just feel that athough i did gain a lot in materialitic things like my lovely 4x4 the Prado, my not so modest size 50 inch LCD TV, taking my family for a 1st ever international vacation, I wish i was able to achieve more.
My 3 resolutions for the year ahead are
1. To try and complete my graduation with an official degree
2. To try and get my weight down to a 2 digit figure
3. Stop "wasting" money

Also i would like to spend more "quality time" with the wife, try and find things that we both like to do together. This is one issue i want to tackle seriously. The reasons are nto just enough will power and effort from my end mostly

Lets see what the new year brings. I hope the year is good for all around especially the economic situation the world over espcially here in Dubai

cheers to the old year and here's welcoming the New Year
