Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away with me where they can't tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you, on a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee kigh
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you to come away with me in the night
Come away with me

2 more days and counting. 2007 is almost over and it seems like just yesterday that i told Helen that there was no way this year would go by in a flash while she so vehemently tried to dissuade and dispelmy obviously incorrect theory. Now there are but 2 days left of this year, and i'm left here wondering if this is how quickly the rest of our lives are going to go by. In a flash. So speedily that we know not what has hit us till we feel the vast impact of the after shock.

Its at times like these when i reminisce the time my elders told me tales of how, the time you stopped wanting to grow older would be the moment when time would seem to take on a life of its own, and boy were they right. Spot on. I find myself wishing otherwise. Wishing that they were anything but right, cuz right now, all i can see is my life passing so rapidly before my eyes without any ability to control it, slow it down, or stop it.

So, as i look back on 2007, here are some of the things that pop into mind with but a mere moments notice:

1. Aunty Sarah passed away, followed closely by Kenny. I still havent got over it. Wonder if i ever will. i wonder if it ever gets easier.
2. I got closer to so many people and i gained two best friends who i now consider as close to my heart as sisters are. Helen and Rach, i love you guys. Helen! Hurry up and come back from England! its too damn cold and dreary down there! and rach! i'll see you soon baby!
3. My prior best friends, joce, jing and lyz. We have somehow made a concerted effort and kept in touch. I know its hard as hell to maintain a friendship after having not been in the same country for about 2 years. but somehow, we managed to do it. I love all 3 of you guys, and though we're far apart in distance, u guys'll always have a peice of my heart. forever. JOCELYN ELIZABETH GUNA!!! i love you for always being there for me, when i need to smile, vent, cry, torture you, and call you horrid names like piggy, your there. and for that, thank you. from the bottom of my heart. i'll make sure the guy who failed miserably with the surprise party treats you well always. :)
4. People i miss: sammy! ( i love you my anjadi aunty!), lata, joel, shannon, nick, thanesh, sharon, aruna, sharan (i'm so glad we finally got closer!), rajiv (even though 1/2 the time i wanna KILL YOU), bernice, khai,vithya, nish,wei ling, darshini, vanessa and if i missed anyone out i'm SO sorry!
5. i successfully completed my VCE making it to the top 10% of the state. secured an internship at a couple of mags and TV stations, entered a literature festival, learned how to play footy and then got my ass kicked along with the other Yr 12 girls. *sob*

I think the biggest accomplishment i've made this year, is that i made i through relatively unscathed. there were ups, and downs, but i made it through. and THANK GOD FOR THAT! i wouldnt have been able to make it through without my Lord Jesus, and most importantly, my family. So, what i have to say right now, is to BRING ON 2008! I'll handle anything you throw at me. Uni, here i come!

I don;t know what the future holds, no idea whatsoever, but what i do know is that i'm ready for it, for my new beginning armed with old lessons learnt throughout the years. I'm ready for my future. and call me crazy, but i can't wait.
