Ciao 05, Ola oola la 06

Its 1 a.m., 30th December 2005, I think I am finally ready to exorcise myself and come to terms with the end of an eventful year definitely. The past couple of days I have secluded myself, not sure why, probably because I just need the space to think about the coming new year, it has been an emotional roller coaster ride for me.

As we count down the days to a brand new year I realised one thing about myself, I am beginning to be terrified of crowd. Especially big crowd, like walking in Orchard Road at this time of the year, that is a complete no-no for me. Avoiding a meat fest becomes a personal struggle, the strong current of revellers pushing their way with their romantic notion of a celebration further toxicate me.

Sometimes you asked yourself, what have you done to make yourself into a better person?

And of course, the emotional swaggering of warped signals will start to tune in and tune out, all we want is to be happy isn't it? Some people believe in resolutions and most don't, like me I make resolutions all the time, sometimes they don't even make sense at all. Resolution can be a mind pollution, correct me if I am wrong.

Life is unpredictable, you can drink a cup of water and get choked, its all so fragile, all of us are liquidated at some point in time of our lives.

Preparing for a Brand New Year

This is the best time to idle and do nothing but just to enjoy what life has to offer, holiday is coming to an end eventually, and the year is ending.

As I look back at 2005, it seems like a graphic chart of life's unpredictability, constantly being offered new challenges emotionally, intellectually and physically. Interesting enough, we learn more about people, situation, devastation, depression, reconcilliation, possesion and action jackson.

Something about the constant search for meanings and answers, people come and people go, the truest will stay but not for long and they will go, family will always be there, music still remains the same, making art is still not easy and true love will wait... Friends are here and there, everywhere, we still keep in check that our souls are still intact with us...

Nevertheless, every year we tell ourselves to be a better person, to strive, to acknowledge deep thoughts that linger way in and way out.

We get tired all the time, we face new responsibilities, we dim our lights and we drink more herbal tea just to keep up with our tired bones.

The growth of oneself can never be realised only when we start to think about the simpler things in life. This can only happen when you have untangled yourself from the complicated web of self-deceit and other miscellaneous adventures.

There is so much to offer, but there is too little to give. That is how it is and how it will be, enjoy the horizon vertically. 2006 is 40 years less than 2046.

New Joy

Hello Joy,
December is here again and the year is ending, I have been extremely busy with Zouk Out, from creating the costumes to planning the intinerary and singing with the band as well. Too exhausted to capture the moment which I think not worth to be captured somehow.

The big '30 Gate' is wating for me ya all, being in crowded place has turned out to become a scary affair for me, especially in the heart of Orchard Rd, suddenly you realised that Singapore is getting congested. All we need is big empty space for us to breathe...

The year is coming to an end, there is no transition, its going to be a new year, new resolution, whatever that is new coming our way, I am looking forward to going back to school, looking forward to a new lease.

I am off to Jogja again this week for a well-deserved holiday, hope to come back and return with a new lease of life.
