12:11 AM
Its 11 mins past midnight, and the first day of the new year has officically ended ( here in aussie, not yet in sg). i somehow still can't quite fathom that a whole year has ended, seeing the beginning of a whole new one. It seems slightly surreal if you ask me, but then again, i should be used to this right? The whole concept of the "passing of time", eso since this is my 19th new year to date.
They say that how you spend the first day of the new year is pretty much akin to the way the rest of your year is gonna follow, and i'm not sure why, of all the superstitions i've been fed, i chose to believe that one. but i do. that being said, my first day wasnt perfect, far from it, but having said that, i'm more than satisfied with the way i spent it. With my family, and with the people i love. So, even with the imperfections of the day, i know this year i gonna be alright, no matter what trials and tribulations come my way, because i have them by my side. All those who love me, and i have my Lord. I mean, what more could i ask for right? (mm, well, dont get me started. i have ALOT to ask for. gimme a genie and he'll BEG to be destroyed), but thats so not the point here. hahah!
So, with that, i wanna say a BIG, FAT, WHOPPING hello to 2008. I went through quite alot in 2007, alot of them sad, misery inducing events which left gaping holes in my heart which are yet to be mended, but i'm glad all thats behind me. We can never truly say goodbye to anything in this world, not through new years anyway, because of this thing called memories which follow through with us. barring amnesia of course. so i guess the best we CAN do, is to learn from those sorrows and moments of trepidation, use the lessons the guide us through what is to come.
But wanna know a secret though? I'm scared as hell to face it all. Not again. I'm just so scared. But then again, who isnt?
