Year 2008, Rewind

As the year 2008 makes its place into our memories and as we all enter the new year hoping for a better year ahead, I look back into the year.....

I am happy cos...
I got two international trips this year.. first a one month long vacation at Dubai with my sister and later a 3 month long business trip to Europe. Both have been very memorable esp Dubai being my maiden Voyage.

Alhamdulillah, I still hold a job for myself even during the time of global recession. It's this job that gives me the luxury of sitting at home at peace and blog.

I bought myself a car :) hehe... After eating up into all my savings so far :( which actually is bad i know. Most might say why does fazal need a car? Ya..I too think the same now..

I am sorry....
I missed my friends wedding. It was always something that I wanted to attend, but things so happened that I was no where even near during that time. Now some of you reading this might be wondering who is this dear friend of mine??? :) Dont worry,I am not gonna say it here ;) But i am sure that person will read this blog.. So hear is a "BIG SORRY" to you..... I dont know how many times i ve have told you a sorry before this..

I am sad...
I lost/broke my dear cell. My first ever cell that i had bought from my hard earned money. Now i now many will not agree its hard earned. After all its not that hard to go and sit infront of the computer all day :) But people, ask a person who does this and you will know how hard it is.. Not just the cell, i lost all my contacts, I lost all the messages in it, I lost a good part of my life with it.... And in the end ended up buying a new cell at a time when i was facing a cash crunch.

What I missed...
On a lighter side, As always I missed out again on lotta pretty ones like every year :) somehow the the miss rate of missing all the "miss's" has been very high ;)

A good appraisal inspite of having got a 5 on 5 rating. It was no my fault that my appraisal fell during the economic recession. Was it not for the timing, I would sure have been an overpaid techie ;)

What i learnt.....
Thanks to my stay in Austria, I learnt how to cook :) YES!!! I can cook, be it veg, non-veg, rice, noodles or chappatis, I can now cook food which is edible and at times tasty :)

What i lost and re-gained....
Haha.. No doubt, weight :) After having shed some very serious weight after a 3 month long stay away from home, now i am back to sqaure one. That reminds me i have to add one more point to the section what i learnt.. Staying away from home is the best way to lose weight atleast for guys like me who have great respect for food, by making sure not to waste food :)

What surprised me..
I have 3 followers for my blog :) Outta the blue.. Makes me happy...

Lastly what i hate and hope will no longer happen....
I really hate all you readers who read my blog and leave no comments. Plzzzzz... leave comments :) I love hearing from you ;) I am not hear to just speak.. I am hear to hear from all you folks....

Well, a good way to record things of the past year. I'd also like to remind you that tomorrow is the Hijri New Year, Muharram 1, 1430 A.H.

May Allah guide us all in the right path with a bright future ahead. Ameen.
