Each year I look forward to the year end festive season cos no mater where you go (despite the crowd, the rainy weather), you just have that warm and fuzzy feeling in your heart. Presents to buy, cards to write, people to thank..
Each and every year I count down to the Christmas/New Year period.. then before I know it.. its over.. so its a cycle.. you wait, it happens, you wait again, it happens again, you wait once more........ maybe we just needed reasons to look forward to something, or just so that time will pass quickly?
I realised I haven't wrote anything here for more than a month! What have I been up to for the past month? Lots of late nights, booze, crazy things. Looking back now, I felt like I hardly spend time working, just a lot of partying and more partying. And I enjoyed every bit of it.
But there's more to life than enjoyment.. so yup got to get focused on my work again. And other more important things in life.
Yes I still think that we should not conserve our energies for tomorrow because you never know if there's going to be a tomorrow.. just need to live each day as if it'll be your last but I don't want to die a drunkard. Ha.
This past year had been another rollar coaster year for me. With me starting serious work in the corporate world for the first time. My first 6 months at work! (Say hi to a lifetime of working) Its been an amazing learning journey. Got a taste and experienced some of the things that I've only read or heard about previously.
So because of this, I can hardly remember much about things that happened at the first half of this year.. I remember spending New Year at M'sia with my cousins, spending birthday out of the country (again) etc. Just very brief. I wonder if that would be my life from now on. I can hardly remember anything at all. Maybe I just need to consolidate my photo journal. Time seemed to pass so fast!
Apart from the job, one of the greatest achievement for me is to cross the 8th year mark with dear. There had been many ups and downs in our journey together, I'm just very thankful to have him with me all this while. Hopefully we can look foward to settling down in the near future.
And yes, dinner with my god brother three weeks ago. I'm very tempted to do a Mastercard ad for this "event". (Dinner at Sushi Tei: $92, MRT train back home: $1.90., sms from him "Jie I enjoyed the dinner, thanks! Am alr home, you? Take care ok"... PRICELESS. Took him so long to want to just sit down and eat a meal with me, for us to break that invisible barrier between us. Its been a long one year plus. To come to terms wtih our grief. I'll always be here to take care of him.
Of course, there are friends and family, whose encouragement and support had seen me through the darkest moments. You know who you are. Thanks for never letting me walk alone.
So here's wishing everyone a great 2008 - of great wealth (in whichever ways you want, not necessarily just material-wise) and great health!
