Only 34 blog post is compost this year, excluding the year I started the blog, this is the least amount of post I compose in all time. Among 34 posts, more than one third is about travel. I wonder will my blog content change from life event to travel event entirely in future. I still remember my intention of blogging is to jot down all the happy times in my life, but the post gets lesser and lesser according to years. Sometimes I’m just wondering, is it true people become less happy as they grow older, or the definition of happy change according to age. However, 2019 marks the 10th year I blog, I’m happy to see my blog celebrating its 10th anniversary. It’s a milestone for me.

Let's give a round of applause to 2020, finally, it’s WAWASAN 2020!
Bendera berkibar di angkasa
Lambang negara jaya
Rakyat sepakat sehati sejiwa
Dengan berbakti dengan megah
…By the way, anyone still remember WAWASAN 2020? WAWASAN 2020 means Vision 2020, the vision calls for the nation to achieve developed country status by the year 2020, so when comes to WAWASAN 2020, the words that come to Malaysians mind is modern, progress, advance… However, to me, WAWASAN 2020 means a better Malaysia. We hope to see a better Malaysia in 2020.
