2006.

this year has been largely, in retrospect, a good year to me.

.

there was of course, like any other my fair share of pain, anger, loneliness, disappointment, guilt and all.. but there was also the wonderful moments that more than compensated for the bad. i truely believe that i would not have lived 2006 any other way.

.

i'm thankful for the new people i got to meet, the living of a dream, the satisfaction of finally finishing up and moving on to a next phase in life (however hard it may be...), the new lessons i got to learn, the old ones i get to relearn, the experience gathered along the way...

.

i believe i've grown a little.

.

i know the coming year wont be easy for me, but i know too that it'll be worth it.

.

i hope you all had fun in 2006 too! enjoy the last of it and cya all in the new year! :)

"keep smiling, for the smiles it brings if not for anything else." ;)

.

i'll keep smiling, i'll keep walking.

=)

smile!

seven.

i like someone. but she's attached! (so that was the easy bit...) :P

how do i know if she's the one if i cant get to know her better? and how do i get to know her better if i shouldnt be asking her out all the time?

why?

cos i like what i see and know. and i like it enough to overlook on the above-mentioned obvious problem.

so what's next?

help.

shit happens...

have you ever felt like doing something but knew that logically you shouldn't?

.

Cognitive dissonance

.

the internal conflict it causes can and will bring down anyone that is unfortunate enough to experience it. these are the times when the thoughts, the actions and the words all dont match up. if only things were a simple yes or no, a must or a must not, then life would be comparitively simpler too.

.

but no.

.

that just isnt the way things work, and each contributes a bit part to the mystery of life in its own twisted way. which makes it so much more interesting. so much more worth living for, the way i see it anyways.. =P

.

the disconnected thoughts. the senseless words.

.

whoever said we have to make sense all the time? =)

happy holidays!

once again it is the time of the year again, when the rains pay us a visit a lil too often and when everyone is in a celebratory mood with christmas and new year so close to each other. this year was no exception. cept for the fact that i'll not be having anymore school holidays anytime soon. booo...

ohwells, lucky for the fact that i have to clear what pitiful amounts of leave i have, i now can relax for abit before the mostly lifeless days and short nights hit me again! let me be prepared... and cya all when the madness dies down! meanwhile, have a good one! ;)

i try.

woots! i've almost gotten my insurance thingy sorted out. that just leaves abit more of the pesky budgeting issues, abit of deciding which mobile plan to get and i'll probably be set to concentrate fully on work (work for saving towards dreams la... i'm not that mad about work work itself yet)! :P

these weeks after the DnD were pretty hectic imho. a new engagement and lots of moving around singapore. unclear deadlines that were revealed only too late added to the problem tho. i'd probably not want to spend a whole sunday in office again but it will be a technical impossibility, given the fast approaching peak period in audit. lucky thing here is that most of the people in my unit are pretty nice and helpful, which always makes things a whole lot easier.

a life of joy is what we seek

but oft it's not within our reach

so live it well we all must try

for happiness we just cant buy
