2005 is here..

wasn't planning to blog, but suddenly felt a little compelled to write
something to mark the new year. Gives me something to do while waiting
for the mobile networks to accept and send my sms-es.



somehow the thought of another year arriving hasn't been overwhelming.
Maybe it's coz there's little that i'm actually really looking forward
to, maybe it's due to the lingering grief from the earthquake and
tsunami. Or maybe it's just that i'm getting old and in need of sleep
and too fogged up to think coherently. But whatever the case, the urge
for celebration seems to be missing.



doesn't mean that i didn't have a good time today though. Somehow it
seems fitting that I met up with a few jc friends today. Went for a
movie, then had dinner and gelato at sixth avenue, where we sat and
talked till late. Brought back a lot of memories, and also heard a few
new stories. Highly interesting. Heh.



ppl do move on to different things and lead different lives. But
somehow some ppl do manage to stay together and keep in touch. I'm
quite glad that i still manage to see some of my jc classmates every
now and then (at the 'gang gatherings') to catch up. They are a group
of ppl that i've never regretted meeting, and life has always been
colourful with them around.



i've never been much good at staying in other ppl's lives; due usually
to laziness and lack of initiative, I tend to be a casual wanderer in
most cases. But fortunately there have been some ppl whom i've never
really lost touch with. These guys and gals are the ones who've made my
life a lot more interesting, enriching and meaningful.



so on reflection, and after much rambling, i realise that a reason for
celebration does exist: a few important ppl are still in my life, and
haven't yet wandered away. May they continue to be there in the coming
year.



all the best for 2005..
