what were you doing this time last year?

While everyone is contemplating what their 2008 resolutions should be, let's take a moment and look back at this time, exactly one year back. What were you doing? How has things changed? How has your environment changed? Most importantly, how have YOU changed?

Countdown to 2007 was unique to me. Few could say they share the same experience with me. I was at Clarke Quay, immersed in the atmosphere and hype of the countdown, not as a countdown-er but as a police officer patrolling to keep the crowd in order. When the crowd went '5..4..3..2..1!', I could feel the pinch hard, being deprived of the freedom to usher the year 2007. But I clearly understood the purpose of my presence there and took it in stride. Everything has changed to some extent in my life. And I'm sure in yours too. It's too long even to summarise them, so I will just keep it in me.

My resolution for 2008, in the words of Salman, is to be a better man. That sums up all. To be a better son, a better brother, a better friend, a better Muslim and to be a better everything.

What's yours? Share them! =)
