After the Dead of Night

I read lots of New Year posts and thus, nostalgia permeated every single cell in me.

Everyone's writing about how 2008 was, what did they achieve, reminisces of the year, stuff that can make me cry (I'm very emotional, mind you).

Which is good, 'cause it's like a 'reflection' session. Mr. John's favourite pastime.

For me, 2008, like the other 17 years in my life, was not a smooth sail. I never expect it to be. What fun is there when life is a just a straight road? What is there to hold dear if everyday is a sunny day?

There were ups and downs, as usual. Laughters with smiles, smiles with tears, tears with broken hearts.

The aims I set for 2008 was mainly involved with school, SPM and the drama competition.

Call myself a Christian yet I never set a goal for my spiritual growth. To tell the truth, I feel like I'm drifting away from Him. Worse still, I'm doing nothing to go back.

2009 is a fresh new start with lots of new things. College, TSF, family vacation and new friends.

Nevertheless, I'll still cherish the things I have now. Even if they grow wings and fly away, cruelly leave me behind, steal by others... come what may, some things will remain forever dear to me.

The year has reached the dead of night, soon the first ray of dawn will shine through ebony clouds.

Happy New Year
May 2009 be a blessed year for you as it will be for me
