My Dreams - Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter 2012 (4 season of joy)

" Your DREAM doesn't  have an expiry date, take a deep breath and try again "

" Don't wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own SOUL " 

" Never be afraid to try something new because LIFE gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already know "

Today is a Christmas day (25/12/2012) . Merry Christmas to all my readers, friends & family members . May you all blessed with good health & a happy new year ! 

How did you fare in 2012 ? In a few day's time, we will be saying bye bye to 2012 (the year of water dragon) & welcoming 2013 (the year of golden snake) ! For those who enjoy travelling, dream more & happy travelling before the snake year of 2013 sneaks away !

Where did the year go ? 2012 was a very eventful year for me and my wife. I made 4 overseas travels without realizing that the timing of these travels coincided with the cycle of the 4 seasons of the year - no way we could experience a 4 season climate in a single year in our hot tropical country of Malaysia - forever summer, hot & humid ! 

Indeed we had a lot of fun in our travels to Myanmar, Europe, China & South Korea at a different time of the year in 2012 ! Wonderful weather and wonderful outcome ! 

Highlights of 2012 in pictures :

Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter - making our traveling life in 2012 a most colorful & joyful one !

Spring - slow & steady (since May 2006 after my retirement), we have SPRING up our mind in travelling !

Interlaken, Switzerland - April 2012

Summer - one swallow does not make a SUMMER - in traveling, there are always ups & downs, bless you all who indulge in your own passions !

Bagan, Myammar - Jan 2012

Autumn - after retirement, we are in the AUTUMN of our life pursuing our own dreams !

Fenghuang, Hunan - China - Sept 2012

Winter - we never freeze but when the bitter cold Siberian WINTER is gone, a new dawn awaits us to face more challenges in our retirement life !

Salt & pepper are the two most common seasoning in cooking. We need seasoning to make our food palatable. As for travelling, whether it is hot, warm, cool or cold; the cycle of the seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter has indeed spiced up our retirement life in 2012 !!! 

21-12-2012 is the end date of a 5,125 year long cycle under an ancient Mayan calendar prophecy ! But the world did not end on this date ! So let's move on ! Let's welcome 2013 as the beginning of a new era !

Dream more ! Memories are the stars that brighten our dreams !
