Onwards into the unknown

2008 will definitely go down as one of those significant years in history. From the financial meltdown in the US spreading all around the world, to the tragic terrorist attacks in Mumbai, to Sichuan's earthquake that claimed the lives of thousands, this definitely has been one crazy year.

But no matter what chaos we see in the world around us, there is always some room for joy and cheer as families reunite to enjoy the festivities for Christmas and New Year. So drink, be merry and soak up the party atmosphere. You've worked hard this year and you deserve this break.

Here's to a better 2009.
