I do not want to be left out on the customary new year's entry as I always have for the past 3 years. Might be a little late but what the hell right. I am gonna try to do a short one. I am sacrificing what little time I have in my hands especially during this ungodly hours.

2007? Let's do away with the usual 'ups and downs', because every year there was never a time I am without the either ups or downs. All I can conclude is, it had been bittersweet. Sweet being it had been a really 'productive' year for me and as a person I have grown more mindful of my surroundings. Bitter being some episodes which was difficult for me to swallow, one significant was about a stranger who crosses path with me more then a year and half back and for awhile gave me a lingering hope but to end it all walking away without a single bit of guilt or much less give a thought to my feelings. At the end of it all, it's really irony he had became the stranger again all of a sudden. 'He' was a fleeting existence at a point of my life and come to think of it although I learnt a thing or two from the brief so called friendship relationship it could also be considered a waste of my emotional time. Having to feel he could have been is not something should be practice as frequently in future. Then again we all keep making the same mistakes over and over.

2008? Let's see how it progresses, so far so good. I have been annoying for the past couple of days by being extra perky around certain people who happen to have my first lunch for 2008 with me, or when i had my first ice cream for 2008 ahaha and amazingly today was my first gym session for 2008 (special mention to Kak Massy!). Unbelievably surprising how you dont plan and just do it. I hope it will turn into a routine :)

And then again, finally I am positive and still believe so much in hope that someone special is out there. Dating is getting weary and no man can hold my attention for more then 5mins. An independent man, witty, a sense of adventure in his life, definitely not clingy and at the same time not afraid to bare his soul is very appealing to me. Call me naive but this is what makes me who I am and what I want. Everyone has their own right to be fussy you know.

So I hope 2008 will be another dramatic year for me and you too :) It is much more exciting when it has a lot of over the top incidents to be unfold, worthwhile memories to be kept. Who knows what I will be blogging about at the end of the year and look back . Uh huh, I know this year will zoom by quickly!

Happy 2008 to each one of you who reads my humble space :)

*Honestly I should be packing my stuff for tomorrow night before I leave for the weekend instead of blogging but somehow it's more thrilling to do it last minute again. Yeps, procrastination is not going to be vanquish, it's in-built ;)

A parting song of sorts (true Kak Mas?)..

It still hurts you know..

James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover Lyrics

"Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow. "
