Reflection in December

Although we still have about 2 weeks to go before end of 2009, this rainy weather has made me reflect on our ICING year. It's probably because of these well wishes that I came across while I was packing away the ICING party items (yes yes, we've been so busy and there's still quite bit a of loose things lying around. :P).

Jan & I have definitely accomplished quite a bit this year. In retrospect, 2009 has really been a hectic year for us. The results are more or less what we wanted and of course, some plans were changed and fine-tuned and some things simply did not materialized.

However, there were many pleasant surprises that we didn't even expect. And the many new friends we've made too. Oh, the joy of running your own biz and the excitement of it all!

The ICING style is very close to what we have visualized about a year back. And I'm really glad we had that little talk after our gymming session back in 2008 that got everything rolling.

To us, this is a great start. We really appreciate and are thankful of of all those who have supported us and encouraged us along the way. The journey is made sweeter with all of your well wishes!

In this post are some of the ICING Party pictures that we want to share. This party is one of the highlights of our 2009 ICING journey, made possible with all the support and help from our family and friends. And of course, our very dear customers! If you didn't join us this year, we hope you will at our next party.
