This new year, for the past 6 days; i can't say it's been the best the new year i've seen. And yet, it wasn't the worst either. I dont recall having a start which is really that bad to be called worst.
On new year's eve, there was Karaoke with the folks from work. We got early release on that day, so we sang our hearts out at Party World till 8PM. Though i'm still having my stiches over the spot where my right wisdom tooth used to be..i did a couple of oldies to soothe the pain. Then we went over to Cineleisure to catch Avatar in 3D, was a pretty interesting show. My 2nd 3D movie, so far i have not been disappointed in any way. Well worth the price of 13$.
By the time we finish the show it was already 1130ish PM. Almost due for countdown. A few people ran off right after the movie, fearing the crowd after the countdown. I stayed behind with another friend, we rushed over to Marina; was halfway across cityhall by the memorial...when they let off the fireworks. So we just stood by the roadside, spending about 15mins tilting our heads over the lights. Not the most mesmerizing fireworks i've seen, but i suppose its better than watching a pathetic tv box at home.
Got some icecreams from Ah Pek by the road side for 1$ a cup and headed for supper. Called a cab and reached home by 330am. Not a bad one i must say. I'm grateful for the company that i keep.
6 days onwards, i made a decision. Today, i told my boss that i would agree to take up the new post that he offered me the day before the year ended. No, it is not a promotion. It is just a change of role. Someone resigned, i was just offered a chance to fill-in. Judging from the lack of things on my department...i dont suppose i would have alot of 'choice'. I have my dream. But sometimes dream have to give way to reality. Perhaps my dream will have to be on hold till my next slumber. Reality checks are always painful. For now, i guess i'm just gonna have to bear with the pain, grit my teeth and move on. I'm feeling alot restless, hopefully the dust would settle soon. I do not like this feeling, where i'm trying best to gauge, to feel what i'm suppose to be feeling...like finding a missing button in the dark with your eyes close...and not recalling if your button is square or round...this is not a good feeling, it's not easy to get people to share either.
i'm hoping its all gonna turn out better, for a better year and when the year comes to an end, i can relook into this entry and said i've done a pretty good job. Like BBfren use to say, Hope Springs Eternal. I only hope eternal is forever.
