CHANGING CHAIRS

Yeah, it's finally the end of the week, and now i'm feeling really bad...stuck with a bad sorethroat that finally caught up with me after it has attacked various people in the office. and so here i am, stuck at home on a saturday night for a while just to do some major reflection about the year that has just passed.

2006 is an amazing year.

it is a year when i kind of stopped calling certain people friends, and in their place, made new fabulous ones.

it is a year when i got to know new types of people.......enjoying the process.

it's a year of playing, discovering and failing in some ways.

but is failure such a bad thing when it merely shows you the way to where you should be headed instead?

i guess different people view such notions differently from me, but for once in my life, i kind of feel that it's not so bad to fail anymore, because it only tells you that you've tried something and that you don't really like it...sort of cuts down the list of things you think you want in life......and makes it easier because you sort of know what the hell you want in life.

there were many ideas i was toying with the whole year..

changing job after my bond
going overseas to study after my bond
getting fitter
getting more spiritually intuned.
reading up more widely.

well..needless to say, those of the tentative nature are more difficult to resolve because i don't know how i would be thinking next year, given that i've only just began to see the big picture.

it's pretty ironic that we often go for things that we think we do not have, and yet what we're currently doing is perhaps the best thing that we have.

yes, happy that i managed to read beyond the hard content facts of my work....to get the old feeling of falling in love with some literary material. fell in love with an old author who have written books of controversy and with such swift and beautiful language that simply falls into place.

as for the after bond thing....... i guess perhaps the end of the bond simply signifies for me... freedom. something i've cherished. something that i clinged so closely to that i didn't even bother applying for scholarships, even though it will allow me to be more financially free now. but no regrets over that, at the very least i feel contented that the will to break the chains is less strong given that i've been out at the wilderness to know how it is like outside.

yeah... once november comes to a close, december can be a very happy or sad event for most of us, as the year is about to turn, another chapter forms.

what would 2007 bring?

would it bring the same adventures or more disappointments?

perhaps that's the most exciting thing about life.

you never know when it will get better or worse.
