Silence Speaks

ushering 2009 ...

with no resolutions in mind!

haha that's a refreshing change, isn't it? but srsly, personally i doubt my own determination and perseverance to fulfil them to the extent i shan't bother making any. anyway isn't it more practical to take things in your stride as you go along? no point in correcting last year's mistakes when things are never going to be the same again.

sorry for being mia but sis brought her laptop with her to Paris. even her laptop gets to go to Paris my god. anyway will prolly continue the macau/zhuhai thing soon.

well, a quick reflection on 2008 seems to be apt at this point. on first hand experience, 2008 has been twirling flash of blur. in the sense that many incidents happened one after the next and tada before you know it you're taking a deep breath and it's all over. in a nutshell, 2008, seemingly like any other year, had its share of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, hope and disappointment. okay i can't think of any witty opposites anymore. after 18nov, okay honestly, the friday before that, my brain has taken a compromising back seat in my life. the thought of liberation was enticingly sweet while we were working towards our goal, but once we had it, it was but a short brief moment heaved by relief. i miss studying, i miss exams, i miss assignments, lectures, teachers and netball! sighs

sometimes, you can't make up the losses for some things. with the future being right in front, unsure by the sheer magnanimity of possibilities, but held back by the past like a kite string to a tree. to let go, to go with the wind, would be a piece of cake, a snap away. but who knows what the future holds. in the occasion where i know what i want, but the people surrounding do not, do i go with the flow or do i hesitate for them? would they be a liability or would they be a possibility. the only constant thing is life is change. cryptic much?

pri sch gathering went surprisingly well although i would admit that i was overwhelmed at first by the familiarity of these people who once had been a major part of my life, with the focal words being had been. the ghost of the past caught up but i found myself settling and easing comfortably into their company. it was nice seeing how they have changed but essentially still the same people you know since primary school. spent half the time catching up reminiscing only to realise how much i've missed the easy trust, innocence of youth and how much i've missed out all this while.

twisters is officially my new favorite game. hahaha

sec netball gathering turned out to be a disappointment with last minute confirmations killing hope. oh wells, there's always next time hopefully?

okay before we all go counting down, i thought of showing something (which i took myself) we would all look forward to later in the night.



sometimes we just need to stop and smell the roses to realise that we have had what we've always wanted all along and to marvel what nature has to offer.
