my my

how we all do grow old
was having a look thru frenster
ya know..
accepting new invites, replying msgs sent umpteen ages ago
that sort of thing

so i looked thru some of the sites of some frens
and i realised
my my, how we do grow old

looking thru their pictures
baby faces gave way to square jaws and set countenances
pretty smiles settled into womanly looks
notty faces bearing the signs of a little too much drink,
a little too much cigs, a little too much rubbish other things

once we were young
and we had plans
and we made plans
we would live together
we would get rich
we would do this
our babies would do that
we would go here
we would do that and this

some of us followed thru and some of us did not
some reached where they wanted to go
and some well..

as for me
this morning my granny she greets me with a
"Happy new year, another year older already!"

for once i tot
SO FAST?! i just had my birthday!

and for the first time i felt
THANK GOD i don't look my age

so those ppl were right
i would be thankful one day
MUAHAHA

looking back the past year
i've been happy
glad to have done what i did
glad to have seen what i did
glad to have tried the things i wanted to try

i'm a little bit well travelled now
a little bit more experienced
eh.. you don't argue with the market lady ok!
i whack you with my rubbish bags then you know
you better just agree
HAHA

i've lost a few so-called "friends"
and i don't really regret it
(said with a little bit of a guilty smile)

i've made plenty of good friends
and i really enjoyed it

i've met people who were willing to come over to my house
and babysit my house when i was all alone in it
(one did walk all the way over in the middle of the night once for which i was very grateful)
and a little bit afraid of the noiselessness
eh.. it was a big place ok
if no one there ar.. very scary ok..
ok la ok la..
i was in it too
but it was a BIG place!

drinkers to take care off.. i mean party with HAHA
footballers to make snacks for
friends to have good times with
and people who were wiling to help out when needed
and who are welcome to drink the 'family tea' ;)

i still know someone who has all my respect
i wish her all the best and may one day your deeds be recognised
may your selflessness guide others on their way

i've finally got a job i'm serious about
and its not boring
or too mundane
or too un-challenging
like all my other previous jobs
i like my job, to be honest
'cept the lack of sleep part
and the nice but nutbag work crazed manager part

i'm in a place where i can pretty much live how i like
and not get nagged
'cept the kurap not very well mannered people part

i've done most of what i set out to do
and i've probably done a little bit more along the way

i'm happy for now
i think i've done alot more than most people my age
but i've still got the rest of my plan to carry through

it's probably just beginning
but i feel like i'm ancient
the things i've done and seen
its not really a wonder when one thinks about it
but i guess in a way it doesn't really matter

the road stretches ahead
and it looks like it could be good

i wish everyone a happy new cny
may all your dreams come true
and may you reach it without too much heartache

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
