The Last of 2009

Usually near the end of the year, things becomes less hectic, as less works are pouring in and business activities, locally and abroad, slows down in anticipation of the major holidays.

I was in fact in Brussels to attend the FIABCI December Meeting and chaired the Young Members Committee Meeting for the very first time in person. Great experience in beautiful city in rain (almost every day)! To find out more about what we do in the FIABCI Young Members, you can track us at www.fiabciyouth.com I will soon post our latest report and photos for the timely update!

Got our New Year Card?

That’s our way to reflect how some of us may feel about our journey for the past decade. If you recall the New Year’s Eve for year 2000, the new millennium was greeted with much heightened anticipation (and fear of Y2K virus). All that have passed with us having to face numerous challenges and overcoming all of them, whether successfully or not. And then again, everything just seems ordinary, maybe you’re still plagued with the same problem or not able to achieve those numerous goals you’ve set yourself, year after year (needless to mention I’m talking about our New Year resolutions).

Well, we from Chur Associates®, would like to say this; “the Best is yet to come.” So don’t give up on your old resolutions, and keep it going. Because you’ll never know what the future has in store for you.

Let’s toast to a year well lived and another exciting year in store!

The practice of time recording and date keeping are just the brilliance on mankind in identifying the law of nature. The message behind is simple, I think.

There is an end to everything and after that there is another new one begins. Having an end makes everything more beautiful while having a new one immediately after gives you hope to start afresh. The end is just the beginning of another end.

I guess the act of sleeping and waking up is another great messages of nature that mankind endured.

I woke up for a brand new day today. In fact, I woke up to a brand new year today having celebrated in a traditional ritual that we proudly called “Count Down” and the lavish firework across the skyline of my beautiful city. Now, I can’t wait for a glimpse of the first sun of the New Year and the warming sensation of its first ray touching my self-regenerated skin.
