Jemism 2006

What a year!

As per every new year's resolution, i didn't get to fulfill my resolution for 05. I didn't get to win Singapore Idol. And I havent mastered juggling. I did do something far better though, I asked my soulmate to marry me.

So 2005 will always be a special year for us, and will forever be etched as a memorable milestone in our journey together. Looking back, I never started off the year believing we would accomplish so much, ( also spending so much ) but when everything started falling into place, when all the pieces came together in such perfect sense, it's obvious theres a greater power smiling down on us. It's comforting knowing someone's looking out for us. I've proposed...got a yes.... got a wife... got a new family. My own family's closer than its ever been... and I've also experienced the greatest personal satisfaction with work this year. So no complaints.

A BIG HELLO to 2006! Without a doubt, its going to be the best year yet! That's probably said every year, but 2006 really will be THE year of all Years! So much to look forward to. I'm sure it'll be over in a wink, but i'm going to soak in every minute of it. It comes by this way but once.

I'll try my best to stick to this years resolution, and i'm adopting the thoughts of Eleanor Roosevelt when she said
"Do one thing every day that scares you".

I'm going to dream BIG.
Going to make it COUNT.
No time for politics, no time for insecurity.
JUST DO IT. Recognise that sometimes its easier to get forgiveness rather than to ask for permission.
Take Leaps of Faith. Work with great people.
I'm going to operate under the rader, and in doing so leave my footprint permanently on the radar.
I'm going to work on my legacy.
Look at things with a disciplined eye and a wild mind.
I'm going to fall flat 4.5 Times and it'll hurt.
Gonna taste failure, gonna meet detractors, gonna get brushed aside, Screw It! Bring it on.
Learn.
Breathe.
New Plan...Start working on retiring my wife. Start today.

Game on. Bring it.
