Happy New Year 2005.

it's 2.15 pm. Jan 2nd 2005.

first off, let us not forget - that this year has started off with trying to recover from a bang of a disastrous kind. mother nature gave us all a big kick in the balls.

so as the few of us go on with life as usual - don't forget that many people out there have lost everything.

so, whatever religion you practise and in whatever way you speak to God, do so at least once NOT for yourself but for the people who have lost. may they get the strength to survive the tragedy, the will to overcome death and help should they be unable to muster the strength and will.

a moment of silence please.

thank you.

now, the new year has begun. it's 2005.

let me just say so long to 2004 and good riddance!

it was a bad year. with more downs than ups and if i received scars for each and every down i've experienced last year - it'd have been a collection of scars that by far exceeds every other year. so 2004 - fuck you. this time, no censoring - cause i really mean it. 2004 - fuck you.

i won't talk about all the downs i've been dealt with last year cause it's over. and it's just redundant talking about them lah.

but despite all the dirt - some diamonds have been unearthed. the things i will be doing from hereonin are so different from previous years.

all of sudden, this year i'm a kickboxing instructor. who'd have thought?

i've got VTC - Victorian Theater Company - of which i'm a part of and the people there are all helping me become a better actor. and hopefully - sometime in the middle of this year - we (as in the members of VTC) will put on a show that we can be proud of.

being in college is the expected thing. i'm not gonna talk about this one. i know what i have to do with regards to college. so that's the end of the 'college' discussion.

i don't really have much to say right now except - for the last time - 2004: goodbye and good riddance.

to the rest of y'all - have a good year.

signing off, the common jack amongst the kings and queens.
