Happy New Year!

So, 2011 has finally come to an end. Although it hasn't been the best year or anything for me, I can say that it was an important chapter in my life. Throughout the year, I learned many new lessons on life, and on how to dream, and set goals for myself. As the year came to an end, I wasn't surrounded by friends or family, enjoying the end of one year and the start of another. I was alone, watching the fireworks take over the sky as they were set off in our neighbourhood church.



I had never photographed fireworks before, and only in the last minute did I think of doing so. I quickly looked up some help on shooting fireworks and left to my church. And I was rather pleased with photographs! Perhaps, it was my 'New Year's Gift' or something!





Anyway, it is now 2012, a brand new year! A year once rumoured to be the last, but come on, we all know that it isn't true. I'm looking forward to this year, hoping to see new places, meet new people, make new friends and learn new things. And of course, find myself in a more lively and cheerful environment, which I had been deprived of for more than a year. More on that later. :-)

I wish all of you guys a wonderful and prosperous New Year ahead!
Cheers, Shawn
