Happy New Year 1431H and 2010M

We have just celebrated Awal Muharram, means the starting of a new Hijri year, 1431H. It is also nearly the end of 2009. 2010 is just around the corner. For most of us, we will be having a long holiday from Christmas until New Year. However, this is not applicable for me for this year...No cuti-cuti!

Come new year, most of us probably will come up with a new resolution. My resolution is to continue this year's resolution until next year, as it has not been resolved yet, huhuuu...

If you still don't have a specific one, I am sharing with you guys a good guide for what you should target to improve your life in the coming years...
