New YeaR

And so ends 2004. Quite an eventful year this was, a year of major changes, accomplishments, growth and beginnings. Lots of things happened, I think. I went backpacking in Germany, went to USA to study, did certain things for the first time, and learnt from them. Cried alot, laughed alot, hurt alot, but also was much happier than I've been for a long time, not since I left RGS actually. ^___^ Year of growth, my horoscope said. And year of growth it was. ^___^/

And now it's 2005. When I turn 21. It's funny how you think alot more once you hit 20. When the big '2' creeps into your life. I'm at the point now where I'm proud of myself, for having come this far, learnt this much. But at the same time, a part of me is sad, i guess, sad for the lost of innocence. Life was so much easier last time, when only the little things mattered. Time passes so fast...suddenly, everyone's older. Those technicolour dreams of yesteryear have faded away, replaced by practical needs. Things don't get simpler, they get complicated, darker, harder. And you can't help but wish, sometimes, you were back in secondary school, where life was just going to school, meeting friends, having a good time. Now it's a mad rush for the degree, for graduation, for adulthood. Sad, really.

Currently in the plane to detroit. Somehow, it's so much harder to leave home the second time. The first time, you are travelling to a new place, life is a fresh new slate, a new beginning. The second time, you are returning to a different life, with its own set of problems and all that entails. You're leaving one set of problems for another. *lol* Funny really. But life is like that I guess. Leaving home for my second home. And the feeling within me now is rather inexplicable, bittersweet. Will be my first time celebrating my birthday and chinese new year overseas. My 21st birthday nonetheless. And writing this, I can't help but tear a little. No more funky cake lunches with jov, at least not while I'm here. Sigh... And CNY this year will be a cold, white one. Not red and hot and noisy, but cold, white, quiet. So many things different. I can only hope this year will be as good as the last. Hope I will come out of everything stronger than before.

*LOL* apologies for the drama ^^ i just read guy gavriel kay's fionavar tapestry ^^ his language sorta rubbed off me ^^;;;

Just reached UM. Right in the middle of a snowstorm, with snow likely to be 6-10 inches high at the end of it O_o Sick too. Fantastic. *haha* But nonetheless, had a great talk with stejuste in LAX ^^ All while waiting for one single flight attendant to turn up O_o We were delayed by an hour! And in detroit, was delayed again when NWA couldn't find a jetway operator O_o. *sigh*

And so I reached my dorm, threw down bags, and rushed for class O_o Math was boring >.< But mech eng was cool ^^ Cambridge prof with nice brit accent and brit wit. Lovely ^^ he has these eyebrows that keep quirking up. Reminded me of snape for some reason, but he's old *hahahaha*

Thus my eventful day ends. Tired now ^^ shall sleep. ^^ And alexandra's actually online. She never ceases to amaze me XDXDXD
