Happy New Year "Plus Reflections"

First of all I'd like to send my best wishes to all our friends in the blogging world regarding the new year ! :) May all your and your family wishes and dreams come true this year ! :)

Now, reflecting on last year, to me, 2006 was a very good year. On th family front, my sister, cousin and Khalid have all achieved their degrees successfully with them all getting jobs as bankers in the first couple of months after graduation ! Well done Boy and Girls ! :P We didn't add to the family this year which is always a shame ! :( Everybody keeps saying it will be my turn to be a dad soon but I doubt it ! I am NOT ready for this ! And besides let me at least find the mother ! which is my usual reply which I am sure that my family members are used to and sick of by now ! :D

On the social front, last year I had two of my best friends married, well done lads & congrats ! ;) And of course I managed to expand my international friends list, thanks to the blog !

Without this we wouldn't have been able to meet, Gazza, Lorena, Still Breathing, Stjernesol, tooners & amoontie. I am glad that I've met you all and hope that our cyber friendship thrives in this borderless world ! :) To my mate Tim, cheer up mate, I've got a feeling that this year will be your year ! ;) I know it's hard when you lose a family member but this is life and I am sure that your dad is in a better place now ! Send my greetings to your mother, brother and his young family ! :)

Finally, on the personal front, I can only look back at 2006 with a smile and thank god for all his blessings ! Most of the goals I've set were achieved, I think that I've improved some of the glitches in my personality :P but still loadsa work in this front is needed :D Career wise I gained a promotion, made my staff a stronger close knitted team and more productive.

Only one topic (goal) is left untouched/achieved and I am sure that 2007 will be the year for that goal to be sorted out ! ;) Won't say what it is, just to keep you on your toes thus getting more hits on the blogs counter :P :D

That's it I guess ! Welcome 2007, Bye bye 2006 and thank you for everything, you have been kind to me ! :) So How about a list of my goals for 2007 ? Will you all will have to wait for my next post ! ok , that's me outta here !

Cheerio & best wishes for 2007
