On the threshold of a NEW YEAR...

A year has come and gone ever so swiftly...The year 2006 has been a rather eventful one for me...though albeit a somewhat unlucky one too.

I was on the bus and looking out through the window when a sudden thought struck me. A seemingly infinite row of trees and road signs pass me by ever so fast, it is as though I was watching a fast forwarded version of my life unfolding right before me. Perhaps I am a person who values nostalgic sentiments or maybe just another ordinary bloke locked within the cages of his past...but it seems that the world is revolving so fast...every second seems to be slipping me by.

I was watching a choir concert with my friends where I was reminded of the fond memories that accompanied me through the colourful stint in JC. Seeing so many ex-choir mates taking to the stage blending harmonies and spreading the Yuletide cheers through carols...to be honest...I was rather green eyed for that moment.

Sometimes I really wonder....What have I done this year ?...What achievements have I made ?
Some chose to pursue their passion to perform on stage
some decided to get a car license
some wanted to beef their bodies up till they resembles some sort of a heavyweight bodybuilding champion
some walked(rejoined for the matter ) onto the path of spiritual enlightenment
some revisited their quest for intellectual stimulation
As for me...I guess I did not accomplished any of which...thus my feeling of foreboding and emptiness.

Anyway...me being always the optimist...believe in the light at the end of the tunnel. Though I may have nothing noteworthy to show for this year...hopefully I would be able to complete either one of the above mentioned.

Footnote : Thanks to the guys who brought me to Mos on wed...had a really smashing evening...
And also... Happy New Year to all !--------Cheers
