i welcomed 2008 in a rather humble way. waited in front of my house a few minutes before the clock hits 12 midnight with jo abang eela & watched the fireworks that were ongoing from every direction possible. tm concert was ongoing at the stadium & they did fireworks as well, though it wasn't all that grand. today is january 2nd & college is starting very, very soon. i know it's cliched, but oh my time flies, doesn't it? before you know it i'll be saying "next year will be my 50th". reality spank hm?
& i thought of summing up 2007 in here, with all the intricate details, how it began, what i did along the way, how it ended, the changes i went through. i don't have anything inspirational to say, nor do i have anything special to embark on. i know what it has been, exciting, with happy sad tearful angry diabolic embarassing surprising unexpected memorable moments. every other year has been transitional, since i know i grow up every year, i've became more mature than i used to 5 years ago, just like everybody else. it's just that perhaps in 2007, the number on the scale was a little bit higher. i became more independent since i no longer live with parents dearest. i learned toleration, & i learned to compensate. i learned that sometimes it's better to shut up rather than speak up, people can surprise you & not necessarily in a good way & i learned that no matter where i am, i should never forget where i've been. i learned to adapt, remember & let go, but most importantly i learned not to let temptation, envy & persuasion take me over.
to me, a new year is like a blank canvas, and the individual is the artist. something new will be painted, but there will always be something significant that will relate the painting to the others. you can never run from who you are, but you can always improvise on it. don't be afraid to make a few changes if you want to, perhaps use a different tone of colours this time, draw something abstract instead of houses & flowers, because your strokes will always be the same & if you've been using your right hand to paint, it'll remain that way. see? changes can occur without changing everything. haha, i hope the analogy make sense :)
so yeah, what do i want to fill my canvas with? i have a lot of hopes & dreams & whatnot just like everybody else. so, let's just cut this short lah ok? i want to be a better person, from every aspect lah ok. smarter, thinner, nicer, more determined, less emotional, more successful, haha, the typical ones, to be exact.
well, let's just hope that the painting will turn out alright, okay?
