Invictus

Invictus - William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of fate
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years finds
And shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Happy New Year 2010..

let's recap my life for year 2009..

• Wenn starts schooling, N2 (nursery 2) for the first time in his life..
• Wenn able to cycle his bicycle with trainer wheels on..
• My 10th granduncle, Datuk Sim Mow Yu passed away..
• Great list of 2009 Summer Movies..
• I've worked for a decade..
• my maid of 5 years went back on her home leave and I survived!!
• all jittery just from Singapore Primary 1 registration exercise for Ken..
• picked up bead jewellery making..
• Ken's first milk tooth fell off today..
• met up with my usm friend after 10 years..
• Ken's graduated from K2..
• Primary School Admission for Ken..
• 10th wedding anniversary, with just a makan as celebration..
• my lao phng you got married.. the last in my circle.. we went back all the way from being classmates since Std 2..

Come to think of it, not many events actually.. and a lot of decade event.. work, met up with old friend and wedding.. for the whole of 2009 i just remember working very hard at work.. spending hours and hours.. fortunately, i'm rewarded with a good grade, not the best though.. but, a least compensated somewhat.. Looking at my slogan for 2009, "A Year of Thrift and Kids", i think i did accomplish them.. towards the later half of the year, i try to date Ken and Wenn out every Fri.. so, i'd been leaving office on time on Fridays.. reach home, take my dinner, and then I will be off to Compasspoint with Ken and Wenn.. i know it's not that healthy.. but we will browse the shops and end up having supper before heading home.. and, I've been doing quite well at NOT shopping for toys.. good discipline in me and the kids.. the kids didn't pester me to buy them toys.. they are contented just browsing the toys at the shops.. So, i guess overall I did live up to my 2009 slogan..

Which brings me to think, what should my slogan for 2010 be? Seriously, I'm so busy in 2009 that my life just whirl by in a haze.. so, in 2010, my slogan should be, "Stay Calm and Level-Headed".. the kancheong spider in me is taking a toll in the quality of my life.. i find i'm so stress out throughout 2009.. for 2010, i want to take a different approach.. I know with Ken starting P1 and with me clueless of the expectation, and not to mention I have to adjust my schedule, ie wake up earlier, reach home earlier so i can guide ken with his homework, etc.. i need to stay calm.. i can already imagine myself being stress out and lashing my temper on people around me, esp EM.. it will not be a pretty year.. and also to be level-headed.. i'm such an emo person.. hence, VERY temperamental.. i wish i can improve on this as well..

So, one year from now, i will re-visit this post of mine and see how much I've accomplish..

Lastly, here's wishing all my dear readers.. "May 2010 be a year of happiness and good fortune." (good fortune in buddhist term here means blessings)
