What do I remember about 2011?
The first thing that came to my mind was the SMRT breakdown. It was so significant that it wiped off memories of the whole year. So, of course, 2011 was more than just the SMRT. Let's recap some of the happenings in 2011:
- the Arab Spring. Downfall of Hosni Mubarak. Demise of Muammar Gaddafi. Egypt still in turmoil. Syria still in turmoil. Iraq still unsettled. Afghanistan - ??
- the last KTM Train pulled out of Tg Pagar.
- GE & PE. WP won 6 seats. Loss of GRC to opposition.
- when you have bad news, you forget the good. There were 2 Royal weddings. Britain & Bhutan.
- flooding became more common. From once in 50yrs, now we expect floods everytime there is a downpour.
- On family front - My nephew got a daughter. Now, she is critically ill.
- Niece passed her PSLE. On second try. Good for her.
Well - 2011 was not so bad after all.
What does 2012 bring? Hope and pray for the best. Life is not a bed of roses, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel!
Think positive, and put our trust in GOD.
I for one don't believe in new year resolutions.
