When the melody goes mute...

Remember that scene in ice age 1 where the dodos are trying to prevent sid from stealing the 3 melons theyve been saving so that they survive the ice age? And unfortunately, 2 melons fall off the cliff somehow n sid gets his hands on the last one (to feed the baby) and all the dodos say in unision and slow-motion 'the lasssstttt mellloonnnnn' with long faces?? remember??huh?? no?
ok fine.. cann the last melon.. today is the last day.. of 2009..
(full sad intro na?? yep.. roll your eyes till u see your brain.. hehehahahha.. my pleasure..!)
So.. this year has been awesome... kinda simliar to 2007... it started off with no studying n lotsa tension.. then the unavoidable board exams.. then much awaited hols n happy days..then college admission... then new college, new people, lotsa fun.. then the most evident parallel to 2007, new guy... a time of bliss.. then serious complications... ups n downs... till it turned into only downs... n then.. the last week of the year.. unlike 2007, where things changed.. changed for the good :)
2009 has been a year of learning for me... just like every year, i feel like i was such a kid the previous year n i know so much more now... im glad its like that.. id hate to be stuck with the minimal knowledge and wisdom i have.. so every years been getting more thrilling, scarier even.. n tougher.. In fact, for the 1st time i made some resolutions.. n 10 personal 'vice-commandments' :D... lil cheezy na? but i want to get somewhere, n having it on paper makes it easier. I dont really want to write about the new year n my aspirations n all.. we've had enough of it all around us .. ya know... *booming voice* 'TWO THOUSAND TEN'.. all that jazz... na.. i want to write about this year.. 2009.. i loved it... n as much as i want it to end... there are so many things that happened this year that i want to remember forever..
People... or one person particularly.. who i learnt alot from... n also.. in the course of the various unfortunate situations that kept occuring, i learnt some valuable lessons.. that HAS to be the highlight of my year... n it also pretty much determines what my aspirations for the next year will be...
It was literally a roller coaster.. a mixture of emotions..immaturity n confusion.. but beyond all that.. the biggest lessons i learnt were that im nothing without God.. n i cannot rely on my own strenght to resist temptation.. n there's only place for one God in my life.
luckily, i have loads of diary entries n photographs to remember this year... but all of a sudden, im so excited about whats happening next year that all this 'evoking' seems boring.. so..
Happy New Year!!
