2009 sadly opened up its curtain presenting a tragedy for Gaza. All throughout the year, I learned that the magic of instant film was put down to a halt & some jolly good fellow decided to revive it back (yay!), that love does not need a token in hundred dollars tag in order to prove its worth, how trivial daily office equipments can bring such joy to two loony (but lovely) ladies, where a one-day workshop made me fall in love more & more in the wonders of writing, that I have to learn to love the fool in me, where I was among the lucky ones picked up to have breakfast with The Boss, then I went & got a new camera, also found that we don’t have to attend Princeton or Yale or any Wellington Cocksniff institutions for scholarly lectures, 2009 was also the year where the inaugural KL Design Week took place & the KLickrs participated, the year where a lovely stranger, whom is very dear to our hearts passed away and the film & movie industry & not to mention the universe will never be the same again, where more & more publications ceased due to the unforgiving economic crisis, where one of those many experiences in hospital taught me to evaluate my priorities, and our cat decided to play the loveliest prank ever on us by giving birth in our mailbox, the year where us (Azry & I) beach bums never failed to celebrate our 2nd anniversary running along the coast, then there was the day where I found my shooting stars, where after all these years my transfer request was finally approved and above all, I was promoted (2nd yay!) but not actually loving the murderous work hours & had me contemplating about Charlie Hoehn’s advice, the year where we lost a dear little bugger (and so much more), also I took the time & rolled up my sleeves & wrote a lengthy letter to 16-year-old me, here’s my 2nd year blog post, where I went to a Manchester United football game and regretted, the year where it is possible to create a scent based on an act of humanity, also I found out that I may looked Indian to others and that I am a ‘rat-riding copywriter with a designer heart’ with a blog that ‘links to beautiful things’, in 2009 a new form of karaoke emerged, where the first 10 minutes of an animation film struck a chord on what marriage is all about (at least to me) & how we can learn so much more from a movie, my 2009’s Eid was spent finding out something pleasant & losing it in just a couple of days, and weeks after we MAGICALLY organized an open house and survived, then about a month I conducted a public perception study and whether you like it or not we are still pretty much caught in biased racial prejudice, and hey do you know that being angry all the time actually promotes better decision-making, also the year where I was diagnosed with a chronic disease (I was hoping you’d click on the link before going bonkers), the year where we braved the monsoon season and had a blast, and above all, we have no valid reasons to be less happier or less grateful than Katie Kirkpatrick.
In the midst of updating this blog, believe it or not, I am actually far from updating. Things around me are rapidly changing while I’m stuck in the very same place. I felt I haven’t seized 2009 to its very best. Me, being hard on myself, as always. On another note, you finally had an idea what I had been prattling on all year long now, hadn’t you?
