In a manner that I cannot explain, I feel that this is a very good time to write an entry, 12 minutes before my birthday passes.
In the 365 days that passed, many things have happened in my life.
Things that probably changed my life, gave it a new direction.
Things that probably changed the life of others too, whether or not those things gave them a new direction though, I cannot say.
It is a little surreal, I must say. But I'll be honest and say it anyway. The most exciting, happiest, and heart-breaking days of my past year uncannily occured all within the last month.
(I started wrinting about the upcoming Business case competiton but deleted everything because I thought it's really unimportant.)
It may seem illogical, but the events unfolding before and immediately after the BCC meeting on the 10th of May made the briefing session on the 10th looked small and utterly unimportant.
The events before the 10th are very important, but they are very sad too.
Actually, too sad for me to recall. And I don't want to.
All that I know from that fateful night was that alot of things were lost by the time the sun came up again.
I lost faith and trust in a person. Faith and trust I always reserved for a friend.
Someone lost a friend too, permanantly, but did she realise? Will she?
Another lost sight of happiness. God willing, she'll find it someday.
Most importantly, everyone lost a dream. A dream that 4 young people fabricated over many late nights in an old trusty car.
An absurd dream that 4 people can grow old and live together in a big mansion that they co-own.
We knew it was absurd back then. But now, whenever I think of it, I just wanna laugh, or cry. Truth is, I cannot make up my mind.
Now, if we are to fast forward from THAT sun-rise and skip the 10th, the only day I will ever remember from this past year by the time I'm 35 years old will be the 11th of May, 2006.
On the 11th, I went to the Zoo. Yup, the Zoo.
No, you read that correctly, really.
For as long back as I can remember, that was the happiest day I had in a long long while.
(I'm still waiting for someone to send me the photos. Can't wait to see the White tigers!)
If anyone is to ask me, I'll never be able to explain why I was so happy.
The only unfortunate thing that happened was that, any given day, no matter how good it is, has to end sometime.
What's the next thing I can look forward to? Flying kite in Marina? = )
