This month has been really good so far and I count my blessing that the people around me are also finding life exciting and wondrous. No I'm not on crack! LOL. It will be Hari Raya this coming Saturday and my family in Singapore are coming together - all 50 of them i.e. nephews and great grand nephews!! And this is just the immediate family we're talking about.

I wish you all good fortune and "Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir & Batin"....meaning have a great New Year and I beg forgiveness for all the things that I may have said or done to you from the bottom of my heart and soul. How can 7 words carry so much weight!

God Bless - even for you agnostics!
