The year is coming to its end, and I was looking back at what I did in the last 357 days of 2005. For those who juz knew me, allow me to glimpse you thru.

Jan - April

I was still working in MOE then, as a customer service executive in the call centre (a.k.a hear people complain, and try to help them with those complaints). Life was pretty weird then, coz i was handling lotsa students who were undecided about which Poly to go (Of coz i said Ngee Ann rite? heh), to go Poly or JC...etc, while yours truly was also at the exact pivotal point of his life. On one hand I was telling people like, "Hey, you must think properly about ur future...etc!", and on the other hand, I have like already wasted 5 years of my life wondering wat 2 do. Yet another distinct irony of life yeah? But for once, I really felt that I was doing things which were quite selfless, when I went the extra mile to explain to the confused youngsters about their dilemma. Its nothing noble, but it really made me a happier person.

Start of May - 23rd May

I went Hongkong with my very close frns then. Really, that was the time of my life. Despite my numerous complaints abt the smelliness, the expense, I truly enjoyed myself utterly. I guess the company made the difference (not the things i bought...etc). I know it is near impossible anymore to replicate the same kinda experience, but I really hope that the chance would avail itself again one day.

When I came back from HK, I was sick, big-time. The kind which made u stay in bed for eternity. Thankfully, I had company, and i recovered b4 sch started.

24th May - 15th Dec

Whenever we are about to enter uncharted waters (like going into a new sch), I guess all of us would be worrying about certain things. Mine were plain; I had no confidence that I could fit into the poly environment, with the burden of my 7 additional years. As many of you call it, generation gap.

Anyway, so far, everythings going pretty ok. I am grateful for all my friends who tolerate my irritating-ness, my bluntness. To many people, friends may be merely companions who happened to share similar objectives at a point in time, in the same enivronment. To me, you guys are people who have certainly etched a significance on the evergrowing memory blog in my heart. Thank you.

For those of you who know me, you'd probably have realised that I dont really like to talk about serious stuff which I'm like very affected by. I prefer talking about happy staff, thoughtful stuff, which would be more beneficial for everyone. Pain and sufferings are part and parcel of one's life, and sometimes, bearing the burden alone helps make the lingering memory last longer.

16 Dec onwards

Made myself busy with christmas celebrations...etc. Went Malaysia, as most of you already noe. =) Yesterday night, got drunk again with Alex, Chin Wee, Melvin, Shawn. All guys night! But I must agree with alex, that None of us shld assume that alchohol is the answer to all problems.It is only a suppresser.

What's on the menu for next year?

Seriously, I know it sounds funny and immature, but I'm not sure how my next year should be at all. I dun really see my purpose, like why m i studying...etc. I guess time will help work that out, but currently, i'm as lost as an over-zealous tourist who suddenly just lost his map. Anyway, Merry Xmas everyone! Make it a point to catch up with people you are missing out on, especially ur family. I hope that your Christmas this year will be a love-filled one. =)

p.s. I'll be blogging again tis Xmas, specially for all who care for me.
