2011: NOT A BAD YEAR REALLY

Today is the last day of 2011.
The auditors will come in soon to do a stock check at the factory where I worked. So likewise it's time to do a stock check on my life. Oh well just a quick one of what I have done or not done in 2011. Maybe I should indulge only the done.
Healthwise God has been gracious and I have not had any serious illness that kept me in bed for a long period.

1)My outdoor activities:-
Surprisely I manage to find some like mind people to hike with me whilst I am here at Johor.
When I first started working here, I thought there goes all my hiking activies. However I have to give up my gym activities, and there are none here in Kulai where I stay.
But I make up by having a door bar for my chin up and a abs workout bench.
Still no sign of any 6 pack yet. Have to carry forward as part of 2012 resolution? I must also include my indoor wall climbing activies. Manage to find one in Johor and even rope in my friends and my son to accompany me in my wall climbing which I have rekindle the love for it once again.

2)Photography.
This was another area I thought I had to give up, but since I was able to do some hiking here in Johor and also back home when I make my monthly trip to my hometown I took the oppourtunity to snap some photos mainly on nature and my friends.
Oh yes, I manage to join one or two photo shooting event and even organise two on my own.
Also on one of those event I manage to bring along my son to join me.

3)My God daughter, Snow
Had spent some quality time with my dear God daughter as well whenever I got back to my hometown. She will leave to further her studies in New Zealand next year.

4)My Grand Daughter,Darissa
Yes, this was the year when my first grand child was born. She was born in the month of october. That makes 3 members who had their birthdays in October, namely yours truly(Grandpa), Her Dad(my son) and Darissa.

5)New friends
I am thankful also for 2011, where I made so many new friends both physically as well as on the
blogosphere.

6)My Lovely wife
It would not be right and complete without making mention of my wonderful wife. She had been a pilar of strenght to me and help in keeping the family together while I am away working  in another state.
Thanks Darling for all you have done.

That's sum up my round up for 2011.
Soon 2011 will be history as we ursher in 2012. Whatever things has been done , cannot be undone,but what has not been done, we still have the opportunity to do it in 2012.
My wish for 2012 is Malaysia will enjoy peace and all races will live in peace, there will be good and honest law makers in the government.
