新年初三

While putting Sean to sleep, I started to reflect what a year the past year has been.

It was a year where I could have been out in the streets wandering...
But with God's grace, it became a year where I spent the most numbers of days behind a desk.

It was a year where I went into mild depression.
I had never know what depression was till it strikes...
It is scary....
And the worst thing is that you do not really know that it is depression till you manage to get a handle of the whole situation.

It was a year where Sean is going through his infant years.
A year where family take precedence over passion.
That is why I have been telling friends that 2009 will be a year of NO overseas races.

What have I achieve this past year?
I had not scored academically. This is probably the field that I have to work on this year.
Passion wise, I took along with me a wealth of experiences. Not achievement per se, just wonderful experiences...

Seeing the kids grow up is another wonderful experience.
Tracking them through their development...
From the time where they learn to sit up, start to walk, start to talk, start to recognise words, start to form sentences.
All these are wonderful wonderful experiences as a parent.

If any of you like to rebutt that you have nephews and nieces, let me just be nasty and say...
That do not equate to being a full time parent.

I think I should stop kaypoh-ing and stop asking friends about their family planning.
I have seen enough to notice a trend.
Let me just leave a few words.
If you really plan to have kids, dun leave it till it is too late.
