and yes, yet another year has gone past.. this reflection post has taken a tad too long to be posted due to all the craziness in the past few weeks, days.. whatever..
2006.. for those of you who knew and for those of you who don't know.. it had been a roller-coaster year.. in the nutshell, it might have been a year of new friendships and lost friendships.. a year of regrets and new experiences.. a year of both good and bad decisions, but sometimes the line blurs so much, that it becomes difficult to determine either.. a year of realisation and growing up.. and yes, i do grow up mentally much slower than others.. =P and many others.. it was a tough year of struggling with pretty much thoughts and emotions..
my mum always teases me, saying that the moon overseas shines much brighter than that back home.. and i won't deny it by saying that, the grass is indeed greener on the other side.. even though life is tough out there alone, and there's more snakes than rabbits out in the fields, i still look over to that side of the world.. shoot me if you must, but that's how it feels to be in a love-hate relationship.. i'm sorry to say this, but there are many things i miss..
somehow, this year, i really felt like a potato, whose skin is slowing peeling off.. revealing perhaps my true nature?? or allowing others to know me better, ie, my dark side?? well, it's pretty horrible to be a potato, coz like they always say, some things are better left unknown.. and yes, ignorance is bliss.. but perhaps, growing up means being more aware of the truth and being ignorant is not the way to be.. and then important step to take, is to work towards correcting the ugly spots and turn them into strengths..
and enough on all these thought-provoking or rather, what-is-she-talking-about paragraphs.. i just wanna thank everyone present and around for this past year.. as a support, encouragement, pillar, anchor, listener, advisor, befriender, cheer-me-up folks.. taking care of me, loving me and letting me act crazy.. the list is too long to be fully written out here but to everyone, kudos, bows & curtsies.. =)
and half a year more to graduation and what we all like to have, a graduation road trip.. i just got 'shot' by peijia for going off to taiwan without her.. sorry girl.. we go europe, okay?? well, that's one of the possibilities.. but europe will be more of a trip of visiting friends and learning about more cultures.. otherwise, i really do want to go to beijing.. and there's canada too, with the incentive of attending an awesome friend's graduation ceremony.. =) so where shall i go??
2006 ended with a quiet note.. no fireworks like that at taipei 101 coz i was stuck out in some supposedly to be a peaceful place, sun moon lake, that got overran with tourists.. no lighting of the eiffel tower, no fireworks at brandenburger tor, no crystal ball at time sqaure.. just me and sleep.. =P
and if you didn't know, i ended the year with a trip to taiwan.. with visits to yeliu, where i learnt that i have adverse phobia towards crashing waves and strong winds.. and how much i do not want to be floating out in the pacific ocean.. and to alishan, where thick cloud cover kept the sun away from me!! =(.. and to taipei 101, where it was just an engineering WOW!! and who can forget the many food in taiwan.. well, i ate more than my parents combined together.. so enough said..
2006 sounds like an emotional journey.. so what will 2007 be?? a need to finish up school.. find myself a job that i will love.. continue acting stupid with the kids, though there is a rise of the new generation and suddenly, i feel much redundant!! =(.. save money so i can go travel around and perhaps, a countdown in another country.. =)
man sagt 'tschüs' zum 2006 und 'herzliche willkommen' zum 2007.. i will miss the fun, the laughters, the craziness, the satisfaction.. but what life is all about, is to look forward and move on.. so take a deep breathe and welcome 2007!!! =P
on a very small sidenote that will definitely catch my large attention.. 24 days left to the submission of project thesis!! i'm so doomed!!!
