Anniversary

Saturday, January 06, 2007

The one year anniversary of my dear introduction to my current life came and passed in a flash. I only hoped the people whom I have met this time last year are all doing well in their respective fields, or at least, surviving like my peers and I.

I have not come across anything that resembles such a love-hate relationship like the one I am experiencing with A%r* now. I owe alot to it for making me stronger, but really detest it for its involvement in my youth, for all the mortification and blows it has dealt me. But I guess what doesn't kill....

Here I must thank all the people who have endured those times with me. Even though some of your faces are slowly fading away, those scratches, bruises and verbal abuses will probably not fade away anytime soon. Haha what a way to put it but those are probably what we will find closest to our hearts, since they are the ones that brought us nearer.

I don't know how this has turned into a thanks-giving entry but I should also give credits to my radio which has kept me company, especially throughout those cold and dark nights as I laid on my bed thinking about nothing but outfield training the next day and the challenges that await. Some people ask me how I have become so familiar with all those chinese songs but it shouldn't be too difficult to understand if you have heard them over and over again, even when you wake up in the middle of the night and can still hear it playing beside your ears.

Tank's 三国恋 that has given me the drive and momentum for SOC. David Tao's 蝴蝶 for the determination and perseverance to finish Si*p*c. Lee hom's "Kiss Goodbye" for the bittersweetness during the Tekong days.

2007 has officially started. I see the familiar traffic congestion during my bookout, the sight of students clad in uniform swarming shopping centres after school hours and the cleanly shaven recruits taking in some fresh air from civilisation now and then. 07 might not be a happy year as of yet, but once again, to all who are contented with life, stay that way and to the rest, let's just try harder.
