there's no easy way to describe in words the journey of the past year.
for sure, it began with feats after feats, glory after glory, all of which had brightened my days, and all of which had given promising signals to the year.
yet, when the year marred with series of unfortunate events that rival lemony snicket's right at the tip of the year, i couldn't help but taking a reflective retreat to spend my new year's eve this time around.
if my 2005 began with bright lights despite continuous natural disasters, then 2006 looks uncertain from here, not even a guiding light can reveal what's ahead.
wait. my guiding light is only a flickering light from my mobile. i've nothing left.
may yours be brighter, everyone :)

Dear you, may you have a blessed and happy New Year, and please be optimistic that your guiding light is not only what comes from your mobile ... *isn't there always silverlines in every cloud ?*
How's da party by the way ?
Hey you!
Happy happy happy new year.
You know, many of the best things are uncertain and unknown.
So, who knows?
GOLDA,

ULI,

PAPI,
another year, more Asian films to come, eh?! :)
DODY,
so is yours.
SILVERLINES,
you know what?
literally i saw a few silver lines on a cloudy sky during the trip to my hometown last month! talk about finding it for real, and that's freaking me out, a little, before feeling relieved for such a wonderful experience unlikely to happen again, not in near future, at least :)
my new year's eve was spent with friends walking through the banks of singapore river, watching people passing by, and ended up having breakfast at 5 am in holland village, near my house.
how's yours?
KITTYCAT,
