coming up next

it feels so surreal, that before this week is over, we will be in the next year already. another mad flurry of activities, retreats and trips, and i'll be in 2010.

what's to like about the year, what's not to? retrospection will come another time, but i think it has been a year that has been more intense, more painful, and perhaps also more satisfying.

i think as we grow older, the stakes become bigger, and hopefully our sense of responsibility increases proportionally with the stakes.

the blows become harder too, and i think in this single year, i've met with more setbacks than any other, and suffered more disappointments. but it's not a year that will bring me down, 'cause i have learnt to forge on (and whine less.)

and my results for the semester? not very good. disappointing, and i fared far worse than i thought i would. especially for creative strats and imc, but i'm glad that i still hung on to a second upper.

but no, i am not satisfied. simply for the fact that it's a result slips full of B+, and i fervently hate that grade. because to me, B+ = average, and i refuse to concede to being average. i am f-ing stellar.

I was taking a walk a while ago, and was just playing with the thought of my life partner in my head.

It's hard to imagine, but there is someone who is already perhaps 20 years or so into her life, who will be the right person for me. Someone unique and special, with her own experiences, whom will end up being my best mate for the rest of my life. And somehow, me and the person I am growing to be will be just right for her too.

And it could be someone I have never met, or someone I already know.

20 years or so into her life. And I have no freaking idea at all.

Ok, just a random thought that gave me some joy a while ago. And if these kinda thoughts make me so excited about life, what's bad with that. :)
