anyway. capture my memories. cos i think in time, they'll fade... the nostalgic ache, the bittersweet longings, the terrible conflict between hope and knowledge. i think it's wrong to say that time heals. it's more like... time numbs. yea fazli was right in using that word. time numbs the wound. the scars always remain, but at least the pain is gone.
Apr:
i feel kinda displaced. like my world around me has shrunk to this bubble of army reality. occasionally get glimpses of e outside world la but still damn disconnected. think maybe it's the confinement? but not as if i never book out also last weekend met up with the 0109 ppl ma. then also ben not around, nv go church for quite a while nv get to see the log ppl.

anywayyy dear god, what kind of clarion call are u sending me in that book. i really wonder sometimes if these are callings. sometimes, u think that what u do is upright and fulfilling and meaningful. but then someone comes along again and shows u how far the road ahead is.
is water really that circumstantial? so disillusioningly ironic. that we use water as the symbol of a relationship.

and somehow we always seem to forget. people matter. every single one. every individual - conscious, thoughtful, feeling and human. not just people within our lives but people without too.
i have such wonderful and beautiful visions. they're like iridescent rainbow-colored snowflakes, floating amidst december hail, unique and intricate.
Aug:
I cried yesterday. Wept. Sobbed.
Sep:
i went out with my 0309 batch today.
but that's all over now... we've a few months left to ord and the impt thing is this short period of time left. i can finally devote it to these special grp of ppl. treasure them, appreciate them and end this thing off gracefully. as with all partings, we can only hope that it won't be our last goodbye but the fact of the matter is that things can never be the same. so! carpe diem! live without regrets! yesterday has gone and tomorrow has yet to come but today is a gift; that's why it is called the present!
Oct:
ahh... the time when there was a need for privacy has passed. but still... i'm rather reluctant to open the floodgates of judgment so let me thin this veil of privacy in stages eh?
anyway... pretty intense few days. had LoG retreat during e weekend, then went to johor to gokart O.o lolz with army friends.
Nov:
finallyyyyyyy. that day has arrived.
Dec:
i officially pronounce that i have completed my sandman collection and will thus embark on the odyssey of his pages <3 ahhh such delight! such certainty of delectable satiation. ok la maybe overdramatizing -.- but!! sureeee enjoy.
We chatted about Authenticity today, the two of us.
of course the year was more than this - coda, birthdays, retreat, camp... but this is a large enough slice on its own already i'd think.
