Good Morning! A new day, a new month and a new year! Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and may 2016 bring to life all that you wished and dreamed for….

I am hoping that 2016 will be a much better year for us than 2015 was.
My usual health related resolutions stay on as usual, but this year I want to do something that I have never done before – something for myself. I want to learn something new – maybe photography or knitting or croquette, I really don’t know, but I will figure it out within the next month or so and make plans to take it up.

I also want to start my new job search in ernest in early 2016 and by mid to quarter 3 have a good job in hand.

For the children, I wish that 2016 becomes their landmark year where they excel in school. They have a huge jump now from 4 subjects to 8/9 subjects this year in secondary school. I will continue to mark Secondary 1 each week so that I can look back on how the year went by for them.

We are also planning on BB’s formal baptism into our religion towards the end of the year and we’ve started the planning process. This is something that Brahmin boys do before they go off to the forest to study with their guru – the formal thread ceremony. We’ve delayed BB’s thread ceremony for a few years now, what with S’ father’s passing and then PSLE. So better late than never and we do it when he completes this school year.
I also want to continue blogging, and perhaps getting my mojo back for writing. I do want to revive my Chica and Chiki series (I dream of being a children’s author some day!)

That’s all that I hope, wish and pray for 2016. Hopefully I achieve atleast 70 – 80% of what I set out to do…

Once again Happy New Year and may this year be the one where all your dreams come true…
