It's been awhile...

Hah. Finally I have come back to posting in this damned blog, I wonder whether it was just a matter or time. Neverthemore, I have.

IT 2009 already! The new year!

....

Now thats the problem isn't it? Is that a good or is that a bad thing? Optimists say 'Yeah sure as hell it would be better!' whilst pesimists say 'See? I told ya so...' Haha is you didn't get that then I am probably rusty, just made that up lol. OKAY nvm.

Some of you all may be thinking: 'What made me start posting again?'

Well, I would say: 'Cause Livejournal died on me.' Cause it did. !@#$.

Anyway, I was thinking, what better way is there to start of the new year with a nice story of 'the news that should have been'? Right? Well, actually no, there is a better way I shall reflect on stuff and sulk and complain about the woes of life that I should have been complaining on my livejournal account. I shall. And you can't do anything about it.

Okay, so let's take a step back now, shall we? A large one.

Before 2008, it was 2007. (No shit) But the fact of life is that, there was in fact a new year last year, which means that we did actually go through the whole new year stuff and celebrated accordingly. BUT. Yes, I caps-ed the 'but' and made that word a sentence. But stop, and think about it. What resolutions did we give ourselves before 2008? Did we manage to accomplish any of them? Frankly speaking right now as I am typing this, I haven't the foggiest idea what I resolved to do in 2008 but I can't say the same for everyone.

(I guess I didn't manage to accomplish anything, fair enough, it's better than getting worse...I GUESS)

Two thousand and eight has been a funny year, almost so to the point of being sadistically masochistic, as the joy is from pain and the pain resulted in joy and the joy was painful to bear. They are actually three different things really. We had the natural dosage of fear in the world, natural disasters which did not hit us, lots of murders, terrorism and the ever-so-subtle economic downturn. Etcetera, etc. We had the same number of exams and school stuff, correct me if I am wrong, and experienced a nice level camp.

We made new friends, lost some friends, forged stronger bonds, backstabbed people...You know the usual wishwash, just kidding for the last part I needed a contrasting statement to emphasize the feel of the sentence but since I just said this, it wouldn't mean much but you get my ultimate point. But I guess for me I basically learnt to forgive and forget, I hope.

Thinking back now, the last year was a different one. The same new year, same celebrations, same resolutions, same hopes and dreams but in the end, from whatever point you look at it, unless you are blind (then in that case, sorry), the transit from last year to this year is different. Cause we are parting ways, well for some of us at least. WE would see less of of our old classmates, old friends and in my case squadmates. It is inevitable. I shan't drone on about all the hooblah about 'the time spent together was priceless' 'whatever bond forged was forged' 'we all have to parts way sooner or later, better it be painful than painless' 'that we wouldn't mind doing it all over again...' 'That I can't bear to leave last year behind and proceed to the next because of a fear that we would never be able to be the friends we were to each other again.' or that 'maybe the next time we see each other on the road we would not remember that name or this...'. Nope, not me, ain't that sentimental...not the tiniest little bit...cold as ice...*sigh*

I digress. I guess the main reason why I wanted to start posting here again is because I kinda miss this place? The web address alone brings back memories I hope I would never forget, ever. I am going to digress again, and I shan't.

I just wanted to shout out to all of you who have been my friend, closer or just aquaintances, that it has been a fun last four years with it's ups and it's downs and it's sidetracks and turns, plus in a lot of swearing, I am glad that I have went through those four year with you guys, or gals. And I hope that the next two years would be fantastic...okay, 'fantastic' is a tad too optimistic, 'better' would be...well, better.

Here and now, I shall end.

This is limmingxiang pullyourpantsup singing off to the new year!
