The First Post

The thought came and went in my head,as i weighed the choices that i had.For some reason,i wanted to stop blogging,to stop this habit of mine for a while.I'm not sure if it is due to the fact that i have been bearing my heart out to everybody out there reading it,but i guess when you let your thoughts flow too swiftly and without any time for breather,you get exhausted at the very end.To convince me to continue blogging,please type "Go on!" in my tagboard.Really,i need more reasons than my hunger for self-expression to move on now.

Anyway,the first post of the year.What am i supposed to say?I guess for the subsequent entries i am just going to blog about the things that happened in the past few days,which is a lot.But i cant see a lot of light beyond it,not now anyway.I am still very much persuaded by myself to stop for a while,and what Samantha did with her own blog was - i thought - brilliant.I still stand by the idea that removing all the entries on your blog is - though rash and irrational - admirable.

A normal post for the new year would involve resolutions i guess,and i am glad that - looking back at the resolutions i set for myself in the yester year - i have fulfilled all of them.I have eaten as much Tiramisu as possible in Singapore,and even Taiwan.I have learnt more songs on my guitar than before,and i have survived NS without a scratch.Okay,perhaps not nearly as free from injuries as that but still,i have my ten fingers intact and limbs still working in proper - save for the rainy days when my left knee still aches like anything - i guess practical resolutions should be the way to go this year,like the way it was in the last.

1)Get into a course in University i am satisfied with (I dont want to waste anymore years spending half the time studying a subject i dread in,and the other half whining about whining)
2)Eat even more Tiramisu
3)Love my friends more.I feel that i have neglected them in a way
4)Europe
5)Learn even more songs on Josephine
6)Survive 07.
7)Never doing enough to love the TSO

Point number seven might have baffled a lot of readers out there.But i guess that was in a way,inspired by an episode i saw from My Name is Earl.Frequent viewers of that show might know what it is all about.Basically,a couple of years ago,the protagonist of the story - Earl - is a typical American jackass.He never was sensitive enough to the people around him,never cared enough,never bothered.Basically,the utter shame of mankind.But when Earl won the lottery and was crossing the street with the ticket still in his hands,he was ran over by a car and admitted to the hospital.From then on,he truly believed the power of karma,and decided to start a list of things he needs to do to 'right' the mistakes in his life.Every episode is an attempt to correct the mistakes he listed for himself,and usually at the end of every episode he will accomplish a thing or two.

In one of the episodes,he wrote "To love my cousin more".But then he told himself,that he hopes that he will never need to cancel that part of the Karma List,because he never wants to stop trying to love him.

So that's one of my resolutions this year.To never stop trying to love her even more than what i am doing now.

I wonder what 2007 holds for me.And as usual,they have horoscope predictions,as well as chinese zodiac signs spilled all over the news and variety shows.Bad sign,they said that the chinese zodiac sign of Tiger is not going to do very well.In fact,the worst of all twelve signs.But still,Cancer seems to have its chin up next year.My mother told me to take it as a reference,but it is difficult not to be affected at all.What does 2007 hold for me?I have no idea.I just hope that the next year is always better than the last,and that no matter how bad things might get,i must always remind myself that at the very end,i am going to come out,a better fuller person than before.

Besides,we have each other.Right?

With you,i'm not afraid anymore.

PS. Do remember the petition thing.I mean it.
