Another quickie - 1429H/2008M review

It's that time of the year again to review the past year and get ready for the next. Uncannily, the year's new year almost coincide with the Ma'al Hijrah (New year for the Muslim calendar) so, i'll make a quick review for both.

On the Hijrah side, all have been fairly good, especially for the Ramadhan and Syawal months. Since now i'm in the working force, these two months have been challenging and interesting at the same time. For the first time ever, i paid my own Zakat Fitrah and gave out duit raya (angpows) to family members and close relatives.

On the normal calendar's side, as mentioned i got into the working force. And with that all the great challenges and learning experience that comes as a bonus. The only downer... well 2 downer, was when i found about my health (prone to high blood pressure, especially when stressed) and when Aoi-chan acted up on my birthday. The rest is as they say; spice of life.

Anyhow, would like to take this opportunity to wish:

Salam Maal Hijrah 1430 to all Muslims (sorry it's belated) and a very Happy New Year to all~~~
