Goodbye 2005, Hello 2006

The year of 2005 is the year of no regrets (I pressume). It has been almost a year now since I'm back from down under (Australia). The memories are still very fresh and clear in my mind.

The year of 2005, the year that I changed the most. From a student to a career girl. I need to pay everything by myself now. Last time, my dad used to give me pocket money to buy my CNY clothes, but not for this year onwards. Everything got to be paid by myself. I learnt how to communicate with people. I learnt how to protect myself. I learnt a lot and the process of learning is still continue. Hope the year 2006 will be a better year for me and for everyone. A year of success, a year of good wealth, a year of prosperity, a year of peace, a year of good health and etc. Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year 2006!
