1. Although we don't always carry out our New Year resolutions, we must still make them. It is a sign of hope that tomorrow can be better than today, that we can improve ourselves. In the last few weeks, I have been talking to my wife and kids about our individual resolutions. It is important to encourage one another. 2. I remember the prayer that we should change what we can, accept what we cannot and have the wisdom to know the difference. You can't turn this into a computer algorithm. Wisdom is what makes us human and spiritual. 3. Last week, my wife and I visited a friend who is stricken with advanced cancer. She was in pain but serene, not giving up on the chance of a cure, but willing to accept whatever may happen. We prayed for her and prayed for ourselves. 4. Last year was a busy year for me. There is so much to do, so much that can be done, but never enough time to do them all. I've resolved to be a better husband, father, colleague, friend, minister, MP, ... Don't laugh. Cheer me on and I'll cheer you on. George Yeo

Glad to hear that you resolved to be a better MP. Try to stay away from those yes-men among your grassroot leaders and randomly walk the ground unescorted, you may just meet some real Singaporeans with ideas and suggestions that's more provoking that Gayle.

beyond that i must commend your blogging attempts and i hope to see more from you.
