Last Holiday for 2008.....Hello 2009!

Just back from my last holiday for 2008 - Genting Highlands. 

Never been there but it's bloody cold (wind factor mostly) around 18 degrees. Was under-equipped for that weather & brought only some long sleeved tops & 1 long pants....even worse for kids as only 1 set each but they aren't really adverse to the cold (I think they really liked it though). Told hub that I think I am too used to our seaside vacs as the minute we stepped out of the bus, was hit by the hordes of people that I immediately got a massive headache (i.e. grouchy). The wet weather meant that most of the guests stayed at the indoor theme park which proved to be claustrophobic as 5 of the 7 hotels were fully booked for the 3 days we stayed there. It was meant to be a vacation but I don't think I had one - am soooo glad to be home in fact. Nonetheless, must remind myself not to complain too much cos at least manage to get away from the doom & gloom that clouded the past few months.....Genting news aren't fantastic which is in a way great when one's on vacation I guess :)

Happy New Year 

If 2008 didn't bring you joy, just leave it behind

Let's ring in the new year 2009 with good things in mind

Let every bad memory that brought heartache & pain go

And let's turn a new leaf with the smell of new year's wind

Let's learn from past mistakes & make amends for 2008 

Most of all, may this new year bring you lots of hope & cheer

Have a great 2009 ahead!
