Welcome 2009! It's a new year, a new era, a new beginning for many of us.

I would like to wish all of you a joyful and happy year ahead and may all your wishes and resolutions come through.

Looking back, 2008 has not turned out the way I would like it to be. Nonetheless, I won't be disheartened. I will put the past behind, keep counting my blessings and smile through the hard and good times, tough and merry moments.

I am sure many of you are looking forward to the new year though we are armed with much caution with the current bleak economic outlook. But whatever the financial papers, the experts, the feng shui sifus or the professionals are saying about what will happen in 2009, let's move forward with courage, enthusiasm, optimism, joy and hope.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009
