“ENTER the the majestic DRAGON” in 2012. Any DREAM will DO.

The reign of the RABBIT is drawing to an end.

It's going to be a forgotten chapter.

You see it as a tiny, furry, harmless animal, but hey – don’t they ever tell you that never to judge any book by its cover?

Just look back over the past months and count the series of havoc.

On a happy note, it's pure relief that the unpredictable RABBIT is bidding a fast retreat to make way for the majestic Dragon.

And it’s about time.

2011 had not been such a bumper year as the whole world is awaiting healing from the reeling.

Dipping economies, natural disasters and global poverty have seen different parallels, and are still unresolved issues.

‘Tis been a year where we should also be wary about making foreign connections.

Old wine has been proven better. And safer.

And did we read somewhere that we should all be celebrating endings, bitter or sweet.

Endings herald new beginnings.

Smart guru CARL BARD has the last word:

 ”Though no one can go back to make a decemt new start, anyone can start now and make a brand new ending.”

Lamenting over lost opportunities?

Don’t!

 Yeah, when one door closes, surely another door opens.

But indecisiveness may take too long over that closed door that we do not see the new ones which are open for us.

LIFE IS LIKE THIS.

We will always win some, then we lose some.

Essentially, the quality of our choices will determine the quality of our lives.

Right.

Here’s a vintage MTV which was produced one decade ago by Singapore Mediacorp.

Time has flown.

It’s great stuff.

Relish.

The following is a divine song that embraces the “little moments”.

It’s exhilaratingly breezy and will strike an emotional chord in you.

Let’s usher in the YEAR of the DRAGON with this feel-good hit of the past.

Yeah, every dream will do.

This NEW YEAR 2012. A new BEGINNING. It can be a wonderful LIFE!

SMILE and the whole world SMILES with YOU.

The DIARY of LEARNINGS.

GOODBYE 2011.

We are sad to see you go amid the awesome fireworks …..

Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?

HELLO 2012!

Radiant showers of colorful hues light up the darken skies.

Let’s pray for an upsurge in the GLOBAL ECONOMY and WORLD PEACE.

‘Tis going to be a SPLENDID YEAR!

Animal LOVE, whatever.

Sweet, divine LOVE. Aha …..

(BLAH) Here’s LOOKING at YOU, folks!

Yeah, finally, a brand new year 2012 has arrived at our doorstep.

New beginnings, new episodes, new adventures.

I am revisiting two of my old articles to extract the essences.

Come what may, irrespective of happiness, grief, joy or sorrow – never let go of this element called positivism.

We’ve sailed through many a stormy weather and we’re likely to hit the rut again.

Life and whatever it may bring is a journey of sorts, providing lessons along the way that we can learn, testing our confidences.

What about you?

In retrospective, you’ll look back in wonderment at yester year’s mistakes and wish that, if you had been wise enough, you’d never have made them.

12 new months are beckoning us round the corner as we push forward for glorious expectations.

Nothing comes from nothing, we will learn.

So we’ve to honestly promise ourselves to focus on planning and working hard.

Wistful dreaming will lead us nowhere.

No, it never could.

I write, therefore I am.

Without your unwavering support, I wouldn’t have headed this far.

It has been a long journey of learnings.

My profuse thanks to all of you, for the encouragements and well wishes.

TODAY our trudge begins with the first leaf.

In the following twelve months, there are a lot more paths to explore.

COME, let’s take a stroll down memory lane.

It’s gonna be one happy trek.

Writer CAROL PEARSON believes that ordinary people can lead extraordinary lives when she says:

“Heroes take journeys,

confront dragons,

and discover the treasure of their true selves.”

Do you?

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012, CHUM.

May the force be with you – always!
