UNHAPPY START TO THE NEW YEARThe other day Nydia dropped me a sms, asking me how had 2009 been for me so far.Bad. Unhappy.I have been quite down since the start of the new year. Partly becoz of work issues, which I wont elaborate.But more so becoz of my friends and loved ones.I lost Gerard, 1 of my most respected army mates, and someone whom I really really look up to. Gerard got involved in a car accident and suffered severe damage to his brain. He cant rem or recognize anyone anymore. When I saw him lying in hospital, I couldn't control myself. I cried and cried. Why him I wonder? He was at the prime of his life, and had so many things looking forward for him.All the dreams that we used to share together. All the dreams I know you always have.But I know you ll wake up 1 day bro. You are strong and u ll always be strong. I ll wait for u.To anyone reading this, I really hope u ll buckle up yr seat belt even if u are sitting in the rear seat of any vehicle. Life can be unpredictable.I miss a lot a lot of my old friends. Esp my Arts Club friends, juniors, & PS mates. I also miss old friends like Soozie, Siying, Don, Chun Kiat, Chong Han, Yuyan, Alvin, Zhixiang, bit, michelle, shifty, ah bian, C Cube gang, and tons of others. I have not been able to spend as much time with them as I would have liked. Maybe that is 1 of the realities of working life..in that u start to see less & less of yr older friends. My friends really mean a lot to me, for I ll not be who I am and where I am today without my friends, past & present. Yet the feeling of having so little time to catch up with them frustrates and dampens me greatly.Finally, my baby is down with eye infection. And not able to open her eyes fully. I have been really really worried for her, and feel so helpless. I would have loved to spend all my time taking care of her but again, there is only so much I can do given work commitments. Maybe I need a long break to give my mind some peace and hopefully CNY period can give me that. And it doesnt help that everyday when u flip thru the news, all u see is negative & more negative reports of the worsening global recession. Good luck to the graduating cohort for 2009.
