Obligatory new year post.

2011 was not the least bit uneventful. Like any typical sippingsoda year, it was a roller coaster ride, a stroll in the park, a dip in the sea, and so much more. Life is always dishing out surprises, good and bad, and after so many years, I've come to love and embrace it with an open heart and an open mind. Of course, sometimes when things get bad, I may not sound this optimistic. But I can't ask for anything more exciting than this.

And the icing on the cake is that I spent the last days of December feasting on roasted crab and chardonnay in Pier 39, San Francisco, sinking my teeth into the juiciest filet mignon, paired with a glass of merlot, in a (replica) cowboy town. I end the year by dancing to the heart-thumping beats of the Fiesta Bowl block party in Tempe until I was all hot and sweaty on a supposedly cold winter's night, right in the centre of the action, a few feet in front of the big countdown screen.
