the year kicked off with extreme sadness and depression on my grandma's passing in January.. not forgetting it was barely a month before my uncle's passing in Dec'09.. how more tragic and painful for my family...
soon enough my new job kicked start.... pleasant, challenging, nice colleagues... till some point... disaster had to strike again when my aunt passed in May!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who could have imagined?? who would have thought???
i recall, one trainer used to say, "life is very transient"... everything's a passing phase, transitions happen all the time... yeah.. and we never know what lies ahead... but the greatest joy i had for the year, would be the bunch of lovely people in my job... who talked crap, did silly stuff.. spoke truth and honesty with each other =) when i moved out of my branch, i recall my boss telling me, "never stay or leave for a friend..." and very clearly, i remember telling him, i totally agree, because, on leaving, those who still remain as friends would be true friends =)
partying can be tiring, can be just some social event... but partying with friends clearly is more than social =) during my emotional roller coster ride, relieving depression through time with you people (if you even read my blog!! hahaha =p) made a difference to me... true friends are probably those who ease your pain with a hug, and put a stop to tears raining from your eyes...
alas... there's one other big change that's still in transition now.. i'm engaged.. whoooaahh.. seriously.. i've always looked forward to settling down.. but somehow, after making such a huge decision... the butterflies in my stomach don't go away.. suddenly, everything is at max speed... our new home's in renovation now... and soon enough, "single" will no longer be my status!!! scary eh... i take reference from friends', cousins' and even marriages in my family, and my own parents... ain't no easy task..... after wondering "is this it?"; "it's really gonna be him?"; then comes "am i really ready?"; "are we ready?"; "will we go wrong?"
hahaha, well, life's hard isn't it, 做人真难.. like work, we make a decision, we move on with it, make it or break it, it's a jigsaw the pieces the portrait of our lives..
nonetheless, through the mountains and valleys of life... i thank God for every detail carved in my life! every single encounter means so much more that they seem... any hurt and every moment of joy.
i love my live and those who left a footprint in it =)
