Happy New Year to one and all!!
i haven't thought of exact resolutions to make this year, but in general, the spirit remains the same: to be a better person in all aspects.
me disturbing francis who was "diligently" counting people.spent the evening of new year's eve at the esplanade. was there for the countdown and fireworks display with liang. sadly, there wasn't a countdown, or if there was, we couldn't hear it (and we were standing almost next to the amphitheatre. anyway, saw francis and hz there also. BUT they were working haha. the fireworks were quite good though.
getting out after midnight was a nightmare. luckily i suggested walking to Bugis, and thankfully, liang remembered the way there from city hall. so, we made it to an almost empty Bugis station and got seats all the way back to Clementi.
fireworks!! hey there was a piece called fireworks rite? hahaanyway, spent the evening of new year's day catching up with rj band pple at shue's house. chatted with dilin after no seeing him for ages. all in all, it was an extraordinarily enjoyable evening. everytime i go for outings like this, i always think about the good ol' jc days. haha. will upload photos when francis decides to send them to me. haha.
i had a dream last night. no not of equality amongst whites and blacks. haha. but as with all dreams, i cannot consciously recall most of the details. i just remember being confronted by a throng of people and having a single other person stand up and defend me. and then when i woke up, i thought to myself: how nice it would be to fill your life with person(s) like that. those that are willing to support you even though your ideas seem radical. and then i asked myself if i could be someone like that for somebody else. and i couldnt give an immediate and resounding yes. so how could i expect something like that from a person but yet not be someone like that. haha. and besides, it's so easy for someone to just say that he/she would stand by you through thick and thin (think marriage vows), but in reality, how often do people really uphold them? i guess the only way really, is to wait for a mass of angry peasants to point their pitchforks at you and see if anyone jumps in between those pointy prongs and yourself. somehow, i wish my dream materializes someday. haha. for it is only in adversity that we can see the true hearts of men.
anyway, my niece is coming today for dinner. luckily my sister is around to "entertain" her. haha. i'm so bad with kids. i havent a clue as to what to do with them. if i could, i would just tie her to a chair in front of the television and ask let her have an entire afternoon of the disney channel. haha. anyway, have good rest today. teachers begin work tmr, students return tmr (other than NUS), doctors (HOs) changing posting tmr (and poor gerri's on call)... have a good start to 2007 you guys!
