why is it that only fleeting scenes are left?

merry christmas!

and the arrival of christmas hints at the closure of the year. hmmm.

this does seem like an awfully long year because i can hardly recall anything that has happened.

this might mean:
a) i have a terribly short memory.
b) the year has been totally boring.
c) both.

but in fact in 2008 i...
finally earned my driving license.
got a car of my own.
survived year 1 and went on to year 2.
sweat it out for music express 14.
had quite a hard time writing for the school newsletter.
sat for two totally 'toroh' semester exams.
bade farewell to hall life.
sat for jlpt level 3.
went for the extremely rare pigs xmas meet 2008.
visited osaka for extremely good food.
managed to survive one year without news of macey.
and stuff like flying a kite, making new friends, surviving com231(heh), conducting a ton of interviews etc.

and curent affairs are a different topic entirely.

but all these seems to have happened aeons ago.
*scratches head*

i guess it's at this point in life that seemingly significant events in your life start to become simply a mark on the diary.
too busy that there's no time to recollect.
too many goals that you only mull over those that you haven't achieved.
too caught up with life that the only thing that's on your mind is which step to take next.

and so in the same tone,
i really think there are so many things i haven't done.
things that should have been done but not yet, unfortunately.
but i'm also quite sure that i'll still have the exact same thoughts at the end of next year.

aiyah, 2009.
let's just try to see how it'll work out.
how much regrets we will have left before another year finally ends.

少一个，是一个吧。
everybody work hard together okay?

ramble ramble ramble...
currently listening to: 苏丽珍 [方大同]

ahhhh... the night.

......
*cold wind blows*

okay, failed attempt to act romantic.

方大同's music always has this romantic vibe to it and makes me wanna fall in love right away. occasional yawns here and there but no doubt impressive. wonder why i haven't bought his album. hints at me losing touch with mandarin pop maybe.

oh regina and i visited hmv today, and i was so surprised at how much their korean pop section has expanded. the last time i went it was still only half a shelf of mainly boa and tvxq, and now it's two whole shelves of korean pop? hallyu ne, hallyu da. *shakes head*

and i very nearly bought the big bang album if not for my stingy nature at work. seriously big bang has made some good music ever since g-dragon started writing their songs. talented lah this guy. i wasn't that into hiphop to start with, but bb somehow provided me with some new additions to my palette. addictive lah.

anyways, the holidays. i'm proud to announce that i've made absolutely nil progress in my to-do list that was drafted since the end of the exams. hair not cut, books not read, presents not bought, shows not watched, places not visited, jobs not found, shopping not shopped, exercise not exercised, and another 101 things not done. so far it's been youtube, tv, occassional outings and more youtube. haiii. how many more of these holidays am i going to waste!! grrrrr.

as such. my resolution for the new year is likely to be...
*takes a deep breath and yells*:

to get things done the moment i decide on them!!!

yeah if resolutions ever get kept.

ahhh... it's been a long time since i rambled so.
shall now tune in to youtube, the slacker's favourite channel.

rip.
currently listening to: Near [CSJH]






172 people. at least.

how can anyone kill so easily?

how?






----------------------------------
added 5.50PM

this was how the world was like.
this was how power came to be the governing force.
but unfortunately, also the destructive force.

it worked, because one had more power over another.
but it was doomed also because one could then disadvantage another.

it is failing, because now they seem to share the same power.
the same destructive power that could turn the world back to how it was.

but what's different now is that.
such power may no longer be the solution anymore.

like how much can one do against ten?
how much can one government take care of the entire country?
how much can any organisation really bring about change?
how much can an anti-terror group fight against an underground terror org?
how much can education resolve the complexities of human cognitions?
how much can the economy accomodate varying standards?
and...

how much can killing someone solve all your problems?

the world is impossible.
all it takes is just only a slight deviation from social norms and anything and anyone can collapse.

and seriously.
stop all that 'salvation' and 'for the greater good' talk.
it's the greatest irony that has ever happpened.
