Summing up 2006

it's been some time since i last update. no, i didn't forget about this blog.
i'm just enjoying the last few moment that 2006 has left to offer.
i finally found a job. wanna give thanks to avril for introducing me, for giving me a chance.

Woah.. just like that, 2006 passed right in front of my eyes. but the difference was that, i managed to achieve my new year resolution. unlike all the yesteryears, when empty promises were made and i had fulfilled none.

2006 started rough for me. and i really to mean bad shit.
was trying to revive a deadman in the first second of 2006 while the rest of the world were enjoying the parties, countdowns, food and booze.
followed by my grandpa's death on my bro's birthday.
how bad can the year get, i wonder.
was regretting that i didn't managed to spend much time with him before his due time.
last saw him was on a hospital, weak and dying.
i knew the outcome, seen it so many times.
but i guess i'm a coward, knowing everytime that i visit him, he will only get weaker.
we were born small and weak,
we die small and weak.
you can call it a vicious cycle,
but there's no escaping this cyle of life.
chains you won't be breaking.
however, the diference is that, how we look in between is entirely up to us.
the power is in our hands.

i guess that's the lowest point of year 2006.

when things are that bad, there are practically nowhere else to go but up.

06/10/2006
the best day that ever happen to me in all these years.
finally got together with this girl.
everything that i wish for.
was wondering what took me so long to realise that the person i'm seeking,
is actually by my side all these while.
i've been fooled in a good way, of course.
thanks for everything, xin.
let's be at each other's side when we need it.
there's no forever love, i'm not ignorant.
it's takes hardwork, patience, understanding and communication
to make things work.
love doesn't just happen.
let's keep on working and never take anything for granted.

National Service
i won't wanna speak for everyone in the country,
but i am certain i've taken valuable lessons and experience from NS.
can't really disclosed them though.
but one thing's for sure, they make me a better person in all areas.
thanks all for the memories 32 and her staff have given me.
boys really do become man after NS.
