the past year held the most changes, the most growing up, the most surprises that I’ve ever thought a year could possibly contain.
it has certainly been a very interesting year.
and this year, the days fly by like its on a jet plane
so many things have happened, so many intertwining of lives
but I’m thoroughly grateful for this year for I’ve definitely become a much stronger person than I’ve ever been and that I’ve gotten to a point where I’m very comfortable with myself and with my mind.
lets begin with the start of the year..

world drum fest 27th-31st dec…
i dont have pictures on world drum fest thou…
oh well… someone somewhere might have pictures so i’ll just wait and see what happens…
this year has proved to be the most interesting year thus far…
i’ve opened up much more to the things that are around me
i’m less shy.. i’ve learnt that there are certain things in life that one’ll just have to let go no matter what
there were so many lessons i’ve learnt
too many to count..
but all in all i’m grateful nontheless that i had the privilege to go thru these things and to have gained valuable lessons from it
i thank god that i’m now a stronger person than i ever was.
this year, i’ve also found friends whom i never thought i’d meet
these are the ppl that i’ve met thru out my ’journey’ of finding myself.
i’ve met ppl like pam, eddy, pete, harith, usamah, adam, laura, vincent, adil, alvin wong, anita, rosli, claudine, siva, faizal, james sherrard, andy kho, kenny sia, baring, jeffrey jong, khailee, yuri, adrian, sara, shamser, noel, puvan, ronnie, satpal, sethi, wenny, yan, richard, rob, emily, leonard
i’ve found a brother in rav, adil, sethi, wan, andy and vincent
a sister in pam, joce and laura
come to think of it, i’m considered a pretty lucky person to have met so many amazingly good hearted ppl in one year!
and the friends whom i use to hang out with, i know that this year i’ve changed a lot
and it can be a lot to take in
but no matter what, i’m still me
maybe a little more distracted and busy but i still have your back no matter what
so to my dear friends may, lallu, linda, ky, zeem, jim, nic, faiz, felicia, gwen, syawal, soraya, ee, vincent, justin, wen, pat, donald…
even thou i dont own the time to hang out with u guys as much as i’d like to, know that i still do love u from the bottom of my heart
life is simple as long as we simplify it.
love yourself and be truthful to yourself and than u’ll see things in a different perspective
there are so many things that i’ve learnt but i cannot state all at once
there are a few ppl that i’d like to thank thou
nic for pushing me to the brink that i decided that enough is enough..
and it was from there that i decided to take the first step into improving myself.
paul, for teaching me that, age is something that does not determine one’s maturity and mentality
and in that it taught me to be forgiving, accepting and patient
john, that i wasnt ready and that i needed to face myself and not let things slide
rav, for always being there and for the comforting thought that i know u’d bash up anyone who dares to do anything to harm me
and of course a host of so many other ppl who have made my year a worth while year
it’s been amazing knowing all of u.. simply amazing…
2007 is certainly one year that i’d remember for life
the amount of growth and things that i’ve experienced has been priceless
thank u for all the opportunities that were given to me
its been wonderful :)
