..and looking back, it has been a year of ups and downs, of woes and joys for me.
there is only one big regret.
one wrong that that cannot be undone.
one instance of monumental stupidity that has resulted in pain and hurt to the one i love
one night of being a dumb schmuck, to say the least.
i will right that wrong, somehow, somewhen.
and yet, this year has been marked by friendships...of reconnecting with old friends, and making new ones...this has been a highlight for me, i guess.
work-wise, it's been fairly tough, but we have pulled through and can look forward to a better year ahead...i have learnt more through triumphs and failures for sure.
so, i bid 2009 adieu...it's water under the bridge now and i anticipate the coming of 2010 in a matter of 90 minutes (here at least)...and embrace this new year for all it's worth...
to my readers, thank you for accompanying me on this journey...

...utterly blew me away!!! it's been a long time since i've been so entranced by a movie that i completely lost track of time...
mind-bogglingly good is all i can say...james cameron has outdone himself once again with this sci-fi CGI-heavy pic that brings to mind the clash of cultures of the European "invaders" and the African natives of that continent...
easily 8-1/2 out of 10...and in 3D, it was a perfect way to end 2009. i highly recommend that if you can, watch it in 3D.

i'm listening to...
....CRY ME OUT, pixie lott's third single off her debut album.
have been waiting on this one actually, cos the first time i heard it, i was absolutely struck by it and loved it immediately...there's something a bit ole skool about it no doubt, but still so fresh in this day and age of synthesized music...
love that husky-voiced delivery...

Flashing teen found guilty after being hit by car
WELLINGTON, New Zealand – A New Zealand teen who was flashing her breasts at passing cars has been found guilty of disorderly behavior for the prank, which ended with her in a hospital after a distracted driver ran into her. Cherelle May Dudfield, 18, pleaded guilty to the charge when she appeared in Invercargill District Court, the Southland Times newspaper reported Wednesday.
Dudfield, egged on by her friends, was flashing passing motorists from a traffic island in the middle of a four-lane road in the southern city of Invercargill on Sept. 27.
The alcohol-fueled prank went awry when one of the vehicles crashed into her as she tried to run to the side of the road, police Inspector Olaf Jensen said.
“She was extremely lucky as the vehicle had slowed because of her behavior,” he told The Associated Press. “She rolled up onto the bonnet (hood) and cracked the windscreen before she came down with some minor injuries and was taken to hospital.”
The prank occurred in the city center, where a ban on alcohol use is in force, he noted.
Dudfield was fined $198.
