A spark to burn...

In 18 minutes, it will be 2016.

When I think back on 2015, I am at a loss of what I have done really... Trying to recount.. well here I go. I turned 25th, a quarter of a century :) I am feeling really grateful that I had reached this milestone. Whenever I turned a year older, images of people who had their lives taken away from them would flash across my mind. One strong image always lingers, my friend who has lost his life way too young, not even past the 21st mark... Those tears, that scene at his wake, everything... Thus, I feel really appreciative that I am alive, especially on these kind of milestone year :)

I got myself a full time job. It sure has its highs and lows... but one thing that I can confirm, I kind of really dislike office hours job. The mundane '9-5' job, though mine is 8.30-6.... lol. I started to become more confident in my driving again. That is a good start haha.

I guess I could call myself in a LDR... and realise how hard it is. Though that makes me feel all the more appreciative for every encounter and every effort to keep it up. Longing and waiting is so hard, and every feeling is magnified. It takes a lot of open communication/honesty, trust and understanding to keep it up really. A bit more understanding of myself as well, and him.

I learnt poledancing and is keeping it up! Woo! This is one activity that I had actually kept it up for ages and am aiming to go up to the highest level, considering my history of never really completing any course that I took up to the maximum.

I am starting to learn Japanese properly, well due to interest and also the prospects of work related stuff, but am not aiming to go to the highest level, just to a level where I could read and converse with natives without much difficulties.

I went to Maldives and strike that off travel destination list :) To travel to that place with a person I like makes it more meaningful as well.

I finally started the 'soap business' with mum, a joint effort and a trial/attempt to earn more money. It was a good experience. :) Hope even though the orders are damn slow, but they will still come in.. hahaha. At least let us earn back the base money.. lol.

Cant really think of much stuff that is significant at the moment... so... thanks 2015, though not as memorable as 2014, it has been much fun and is a year of growth. Now, to welcome 2016 :D

Haha, resolutions shall wait for a while before I set them :) hehe

Dreams~

Under a starry night,
Where strong winds blow...
Where droplets of dews
sparkle on lush grass...
A lone soul surrounded
by the beauty of nature...
Reminiscing the past,
Lost in memories...
Dreading to return to the present...
Staring out at sparkling stars
and moon above...
Wishing and wishing...
For time to stand still...
Dreaming and dreaming...
for wishes to come true...
