In 2 hours time, 2007 will usher in with a bang! While the Auld Lang Syne song is played for 2006, there are a lot of good and bad memories of this year. The good news are many like Nicol David retaining her Women’s World Championship in Squash for the second time and winning many games since her defeat in the Melbourne Games in March. The other news come with mixed feelings. Saddam Hussein was hanged yesterday morning. Growing up from a poor family without a father, he rose to power and was actually an ally of the USA which even sponsored his law studies until he invaded Kuwait, a close US ally for oil business. Saddam also planned an assassination attempt of the elder President Bush. Well, with the hanging, this marks the end of Saddam’s era before the 2007 ushers in.
As for me, I hope 2007 will bring more good prosperity and better health to continue working hard and living life at the fullest. I also hope not to forget to continue praying for my granny’s salvation. She’s very frail now when I visited her recently. As she was sleeping, we did not disturb her and let her continue her slumber in the old folks’ home.
