+ two thousand five with love

another year has jiffily come to an end. summing up on 2005, in my honest opinion is the most mindtwisting, heartstomping, bodyjiggling and ductpouring year so far. the waves of tsunami may have caused severe destruction to the affected countries, leaving the remaining to feel emotionally affected, homeless, penniless and the effect of losing the comfort zone they're once in. crashing of the tsunami..was that the beginning of a hectic 2005, i questioned myself.

this time last year... i was contented. really am. in a short span of time, i had everything i never imagined myself to have and feel. my loved ones are all in good health. everyone i know is happy. when 2005 came, i swear i had hoped for another brand new beautiful year.

...and it truly was.

the year that made me realise the real person in me. painfully exposed many of my weaknesses. to appreciate the small little things that brings happiness to my sadness. the rights and wrongs i've grown to follow. with the people i love being away, the men in my life: dad & my 2 granddads struggling to keep up with their lives through their sickness, seeing my best friends fighting through tears of relationships... got me stronger. i've understood how things hardly comeby the way we want it to. that i should not worry abt me in 2010, but to live today as though it WILL be the last one. i'm still learning the ropes of love and life. hopefully i'd be given the chance to, as tomorrow begins.

they say a picture says a thousand words. i'll let my pictures do the talking.

au voir~ 2005. and thank you.
