thirty: encore

i was just taking out my first journal and reading it when i realised that it was just a year and a half since i started writing entries. i read through some of my old entries and lots of feelings came back. you come to recall and remember the people who have made an impact in your life. i felt nostalgic about those times, even as i remembered the incidences which were less happy. not that i would want to relive it again though.

and there's also the realisation that so much has taken place in the span of a year. life should really be measured by a unit like experiences per year. so much has truly happened.

i took out my photo album and scanned through everything. couldn't help feeling the same way.

what will the next year have in store? will life really be so unexpected and different in a year's time from now? it's both a scary and an exciting thought.

but how has the pass year been? it's actually been quite a short and fast year because NS took up almost half of the time. and for some reason, i can't really pinpoint any particle experience, retreive it from my memory and actually feel much for it. time then passed because it had to. that's all. but the time before and after that has been truly amazing. i got to know people so much better in the last three months of JC. now in uni, i'm meeting new faces. i thank God for always blessing me with people who have touched and who have had such a large impact in my life.

to all of you, thank you.
