Happy New Year

I hope all of you have a lovely Christmas. Year 2008 is coming to an end soon. Do you make New Year Resolutions? I usually don’t because I find them so difficult to keep but as we get close to 2009, I’ve been thinking about them as they were related to blogging. Year 2008 has been good to me.

I started blogging a bit over 2 years ago. It is a great way for my family and friends to know what was going on with me here in the US as well as me writing down all the recipes I’ve tried. To my pleasant surprise, it just took off from there with more people visiting my blog, reading my recipes and some people even asking me to try out their products.

I think blogging is such a great way of keeping in touch and through this great medium, I have had the pleasure of getting to know a lot of nice people, some of whom have become good friends. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and kind comments and hopefully I get a chance to meet up with some of you when I visit Malaysia this coming January.

In the meantime I will continue posting more recipes and pictures in my blogs for year 2009, so feel free to drop by any chance you get. Thanks you once again for all your support and wishing all of you a wonderful and Happy New Year!!
