so much more to learn...

mood: contemplative
listening to: warwick avenue - duffy

and so, 'tis the final 21 hours (or so) of the year that is 2008.

many thoughts have been running through my mind for these past couple of weeks - wondering about what was different this year (if at all) compared to the last, wondering if i've changed over the last 12 months, or whether or not i would have done some things differently and more so, how this year would be ending for me.

but first things first - my new years resolution scorecard! last nye, my resolutions were:

  1. learn a new language (check!)
  2. learn a to dance (check!)
  3. take up guitar lessons (ahem...)

two out of three ain't bad, no? *gives myself a pat on the back* =)

now, lets see... what has defined this year?

  • a year of surprises - some good, some not so good. sometimes by others, and at times, i have even surprised myself.
  • a year of new friends - some good, some not so good (?). =P
  • a year of rehashing the past - not. good. at. all.
  • a year of rediscovery of faith - all good =)

and what hasn't changed despite all of the above?

  • i'm still a poor judge of character... and it's tough, knowing you can't really trust your instincts. sigh*
  • i still wear my heart on my sleeve as hard as i try not to... and this is tough too, cos it pretty much means it'll get scraped along the way. sigh* x 2.

but most important of all, i thank my lucky stars because i am reminded over and over again, that i am constantly surrounded by those dearest to me (yay!) =)

in any case, a friend once said, "do not reach for a past that is no longer there". how true. how can one move forward if he/she is constantly looking back?

so here's to hoping the shit doesn't hit the fan in 2009!! hahaha....kidding....kidding...! well, not really...but anyway... let me try again =P

so here's to you and i in 2009...

may our minds find peace, our bodies - purpose, and our hearts be filled with love.

*takes a swig of champagne*

*fingers crossed*

=)

p/s: and God forbid that we should lose our sense of humour!
