"You're wishin' too much, baby. You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughta be.”

we met for nye's steamboat yesterday, and after the rest left, shuwen, fen, marie, manda and i went to countdown and watch the fireworks. it was enthralling - as fireworks always are. somehow, no matter how many times you've seen them before, every time is still as magical as the first time.

so it's 2007. in the past, i've never really felt the significance of the new year. like, it's just the new year, maybe new school, okay, new friends, okay, so what? but this year, it's different, kind of like i'm relieved to leave the past behind. maybe because 2006 wasn't a very good year for me, what with all the stress from a's and other issues as well. in addition, this year marks the beginning of a new phase for all of us. from now onwards, we'll be leaving school life behind us, forever, teetering on the edge of adolescence towards young adulthood.

i read this from melody's blog, it's a quotation from snow cake. "the past is only a memory, the future is only a fantasy, the present is where we truly live."

may the year ahead be a fruitful one for all of us.
