The drive back...

Kanika had dance earlier in the day and thereafter we left for Haymarket & China Town to have a meal there. We enjoyed the Prawn Sizzlers with some beer, Kanika enjoyed her Prawn & Noodles with a chocolate gelato & Mum had a lovely Beancurd & Veggy Sizzler with a Mixed Berry drink. It was a day well spent with Kanika getting hersef a nice floral Review top (My choice!!!), Black Giordano Shirt (My choice!!! but presented by her Grandparents).

It's fun to be at The Gym..

Some low resolution pictures from my blackberry of Dad & Me working out in the gym. Its fun to finish work and drive with Dad to the Gym and burn some calories & my beer belly. After watching movies like of Shahrukh Khan & Amir Khan one does get tempted to work on burning some fat... Dad does the Treadmill, circuit training and I do some rowing in addition to the treadmill & circuit training after which we both are off for some relaxation with steam & spa jets aka jaccuzi.

2009 for Me...

I see 2009 as a year in which I am going to make a new beginning, start living my life with more purpose.. thinking about Kanika as my top priority... focusing on my IT consultancy and putting together 39 years of my experiences together to plan a secure future for Kanika & Myself. It's been a tough year for my family & me but I have learnt a hell of a lot in the past 12 months. I have learnt where I stand with my family & friends and have indeed become a wiser man.

I will endeavour to spend the next few years rebuilding myself and I know age is not on my side but triumphant I will be as I get over the insecurities that haunted me in the past. I do have the greatest resolve to strive harder as I cross each obstacle that comes my way and achieve success in all my endeavours.

I know there will be a lot spoken and people will judge me for my recent actions to which I must confess that I have been honest in all my dealings with everyone in my life be it personal or professional. I have been faithful to those near & dear to me & always attempted to collaborate with and support those who needed my help and when the real moments of truth came I realised where I stood with reference to each one of them. I always stood for values & principles which I learnt from my father, the education imparted to me and fine parenting during my formative years.

Lets hope this year brings peace, happiness and prosperity to each one of us as this is my great desire for 2009!

New Year's Day at The Entrance

We drove down to The Entrance to spend the day there. It was nice and buzzing with people celebrating the first day of 2009. We had lovely seafood for Lunch & Mum had some Ceasar Salad with Chips. Pelican feeding started at 3pm which was nice to watch. And then drove back via Shelly Beach.
