HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!! ITS 2005 A BRAND NEW YEAR!!! :p

haha..this is my first blog of the year..and i have so much to say...just came back from a mini-countdown with the mc people..we went marina drank a little, and chilled out..watch movie..i definitely prefer this kind of celebration with friends rather than packing myself like a sardine at some countdown party..and tom s oac celebration and gathering! haha..very much looking foward to it.

mc chalet was great, wonderful. :p only 2 sore points: 1) it kept raining and i only spent less than an hour at the beach in the water!!!! ughhhh 2) this one u all shud know..i cant bring myself to say it, bah!

overall it was a good bonding session for all of us i feel..finally feel that we are behaving more as a com and having lotsa fun together instead of just work work and more work.. the 6 hour ktv marathon was shiok, as was the bbq, esp when everything is free hahahah!! pity we couldnt stay for another dae. And of coz, all the events which happened esp on the 2nd nite, hahahahaha xuzi and chonghan, way to go man!!!

i always feel very very happy and joyous when my friends get attached. haha, xiji..xinwei..fiona..jianwu..weifeng..now xuzi and chonghan..haha..really very happy man..its like how to say huh, just feel very glad that people who have been liking and loving each other get together. A lot of times in life, there are people who like each other at one point or another, but couldnt get together due to circumstances. Having said that, having a relationship can mean a lot of potential problems, but at the end of the day, the experience of being with a potential soulmate and partner, and feeling that kind of bliss, romance, and joy all combined is a wonderful wonderful thing in this world. And i always believe there is something to be learnt from every single relationship, be it sweet or sour.

more importantly, whether u are single or attached, the key thing is that you stay happy and true to yourself. As long as your zest for life is there and you are full of shine, happiness, and confidence, love will come knocking on your door. Its quite interesting really, sometimes the more you want to be in a relationship or get attached, the more you wont. Ironically, the more you are not thinking of getting attached and concentrating on having fun and happiness in your own life, the more likely someone out there will like you. (haha, i think this applies a lot to guys)

even if you are in a relationship, once you lose that shine, happiness and confidence, you will lose a lot of your own attractiveness and appeal.

Its comforting to know that love still makes our world go round. I was quite shocked by the tsunami incident..and felt a little guilty that while i was having so much fun at the chalet here in singapore, thousands of other unfortunate people just miles away are having the worst nightmare and time of their lives. Maybe i was tired, but when i returned from the chalet and immediately read the papers bout the incident, i felt very emotional..even to the point that i felt like crying. We here will never understand how and what the victims went through. Watched CNN and felt even more terrible.

suddenly it doesnt matter whether you have thousands of nuclear weapons, the most advanced missile shield, how many fucking tanks or bombs..what do you shoot when mother nature turns against you?

suddenly it doesnt matter whether you are an indian, a Swede, a Brit, an Indonesian or a Singaporean..u are just another fellow human being running away from the giant waves.

having watched the movie The Day After Tomorrow only recently, brought back a lot of memories.

the world has changed again, just like it had changed after sept 11. it was quite appropriate to tone down the new year celebrations this year..this incident just keeps forming in the back of my mind.
