Wow it's 01.01.2009 ... the first day of the new year.
We spent the night at KL Plaza Suites with a bunch of our dear friends. We had potluck and after dinner we went down to the streets. It was full of people especially along BB area. At the strike of midnight the fireworks shot into the sky ... it was a beautiful sight indeed. We stood at the corner of HSBC opposite Lot 10 away from the concert area. I managed to get the VIP standing area tickets but the guys didnt want to go so I gave the tics to Kimmy to go with her frens. She said it was very crowded and stuffy in there and they did not stay through the whole concert. Of course they got sprayed with all the foams stuff ... We were lucky as we stood clear from all those who were spraying and did not get wet!
I went for the yearly ex-Ho Hup staff luncheon affair at the East of Highway Restaurant. This time I think more people came including Dato' HHL. The first thing he said to me was, how is your father .... and telling the others .... I know her father for many years already. Dato is such a sweet and caring person. The food was good and they even had "yee sang" ... actually CNY is just around the corner.
So what will 2009 have for us .... a lot of financial woes .... I'm really scared of reading about the credit crunch all over the news and that it's going to be bad this year. I prayed during the fireworks and really prayed that 2009 will not be as bad as everyone says that it would be. Many said that we would be feeling the effect around March/April but for now I still see many people in the expensive restaurants / hotels, having dinner and dance to celebrate around BB area.
As for me, I really hope to be a better person, save money, guide my kids in the best way possible and grow in my faith. I really hope and pray that everything will be better for us.
