Happy New Year 2008

Happy New Year!

=D

Wishing all of you a great year ahead! Those who need to do better in studies, hope you will do better (go and study)! Those who need to grow taller, go and grow taller (eat more and jump more)! Those who wish to grow prettier, hope you will grow prettier (go and visit beauty saloon). Those who need to grow younger... er... a bit difficult.

To all you readers and friends, thanks for the support over the past year through exams, fears and death. I really appreciate it very much.

Start of a new year and the first emotion I felt was anger and disappointment. What the heck. What is the point. I think this is enough from me already. I tried very hard, very tired already. Am trying too hard, wanting too much, thinking too far, dwelling too long. New year, new beginning, don't want to go back again so I'm letting go. This time I'm striving to accept and not to turn back.

And I'm officially sick on the first day of the New Year.

I came home from a show just now on the last night of 2007 and I was walking past people, going in the opposite direction. I looked at people with friends, families and couples. I was alone but not lonely. You know how I've always wanted to find that person meant for me? At that moment it didn't matter that much because inside I felt great. Maybe you exist, maybe you don't, but I love you now anyway, and for now that's enough.

Bye bye 2007, I've learned plenty the past year. You sure have taught me a lot but I don't want to go back there again. You are the harshest year I've ever gone through and I'm glad you're over.

Hello 2008. I know you have more to teach me, but I hope you'll be a little gentler. For some reason, I feel there's something calmer and promising about 2008. Hope it is the case. See you when it's brighter.

Happy New Year 2007

Did you hear that? Did you hear that? The popping of party poppers and shouting around your estate. I did! It's 2007!

Happy New Year!

Wishing all good health this coming year as well as a fruitful and fulfilling 2007!

Haha, I just switched on TV to Channel 5, just for the 10 seconds of countdown then switched off the TV again.

Hi, 2007. I hope I'm welcomed into you. =)

Bye 2006

Almost the new year! A couple more hours to go. If I'm a wet blanket, I can say that a new year isn't anything much. It's only a couple more hours - time, something we constructed and imposed upon our daily life. Something we attach (too much) meanings to. In the new year, the earth still continues to spin, the sun continues to rise and set, water still flows and we still have to pay our bills. When the clock strikes 12, we spend a minute (more or less) cheering madly, then two days later we're either back at school or work, back to facing the (even larger) pile of work and people/colleagues we don't really like.
If you think about it, isn't it odd we celebrate the passing of time? Time, that which most of us want to stop and that which we always want more. Ironic. We wave quite happily bye to 2006, a year pass.

Then again, we can always look on the bright side! If 2006 hasn't been a good year, then maybe next year will be better. Optimism, you know. =) It's an hour to 2007! I'm so excited! (Ok, maybe I'm not that excited. 2007 just means I'm turning 21 soon. Considering how I felt when I turned 20...)

Everybody has been doing a recount of 2006, what they have done and all that. Hmm, should I? Nah, too much to summarise. Besides, I'm sure you'd be bored. =) One thing though. I've learnt a lot in 2006. A lot of things in many aspects like life, blah blah and myself, blah blah. Just read through the archives.

By the way, heard that 7 bombs went off in Bangkok just now. Not 1, not 2 but 7 freaking bombs. I just wish that when the clock strikes 12, no bombs go off in Singapore or anywhere in the world. Throughout the year too, please just let all of us be safe. Much as I don't see much in my life now, I'm trying to build it up again so no I don't wish to die yet. Why are humans so fond of killing each other? I don't understand.

Bye 2006. Thank you, time, for all that you have taught me in this past year. I hope I'll learn as much in the upcoming year.
