Closing speech for Year 2006

The past 364 days, in my book of standards, were sort of less-than-fruitful.

Year ’06 has seen many missed-opportunities + wasted-times on my side, it was such a huge mixed-bag of gruesome heartaches, annoying incidents, discouraging let-downs, tiresome routine, as well as a small dose of occasional laughter and heartwarming moment.

Though things didn’t turn out for the best, but hey, at least i am still very much alive and kicking, and who knows...better days might just be waiting for me around the corner, all i gotta do now is to prepare myself with a healthy amount of patience and honest effort, and have a little faith in life. Right? Right? Right?

“Where there’s a Will, there’s a Way”
“While there’s LIFE, there’s HOPE”

* Shutting my eyes tight while taking a deep breath, holding up a fist and start repeating the lines above for at least a thousand times *

Good Luck to myself.

Hmm...It is now less than 8 hours before we officially enter 2007, but before the clock strikes 12 tonight, i shall leave every little freaking thing behind and make sure that i Paaaaaaarttyyyyy!!! the remaining hours of ’06 away!

Here’s to a great New Year’s Eve, and, an even better future!

Quote of the Day--Holiday Tunes

Let us all listen to some Christmas songs, be merry, and then make the world a better place! Ho!Ho!Ho!


“White Christmas”
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas/
\With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright/
And may all your Christmases be white.

--I want snow! I wanna White Christmas! I wanna make a snowman! I wanna throw snowballs at people! How i wish i could move to anywhere that snows right now...Hot Christmas = No Fun.

-------------------------------------------------------------

“Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow”
Oh the weather outside is frightful/
But the fire is so delightful/
And since we've no place to go/
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping/
And I've bought some corn for popping/
The lights are turned way down low/
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight/
How I'll hate going out in the storm/
But if you really hold me tight/
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying/
And, my dear, we're still goodbying/
But as long as you love me so/
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

--Will anybody be willing to really hold me tight now? I wanna feel warm and fuzzy too. Anyone? Please...

-------------------------------------------------------------

“The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)”
They know that Santa's on his way/
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is gonna spy/
To see if Reindeer really know hot to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple wish/
To kids from one to ninety-two/
Although it's been said many times many ways/
Merry Christmas to you.

--Whatever happened to my gift, Santa?

-------------------------------------------------------------

“Have yourself a merry little Christmas”
Have yourself a merry little Christmas/
Let your heart be light/
From now on all troubles will be out of sight.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas/
Make the yuletide gay/
From now on our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days/
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us/
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together/
If the fates allow.
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough/
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

--Whoever reading this right now, my MAD LOVE to all of you—for spending a few minutes of your life taking interest on this humble write-up of mine. Thank you! Bless You! Love You!


Last but not least, here’s something i ripped from a magazine that really cracked me up:

(Office Christmas Party version of Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!)

Remember: Try not to do that in your workplace, if you don’t intend to find yourself to be in sudden state of unemployment after the Christmas party--but you could try it at home though, if you must.

:)

Happy Holidays Everyone!

“I was always the one who did all the talking…”

“Why can’t you just speak up and tell me your side of the story?”

“You didn’t ask me out (why?)…”

You utter disappointment of me, in such earnestness.

And me on the other side of the line, paying undivided attention to you, listening to the sound of your voice--word-by-word, phrase-by-phrase, so that I won’t miss a single tiniest expression, while trying extremely hard to hold back all my feelings and emotions.

I could hardly say anything, anything but silence.

Maybe it is better this way—not everything is meant to be said, and in this case, something is best left unsaid.

So that you could do away with all those emotional hoo-ha, and forego any difficult choices that you might need to make—by not knowing anything about me at all.

And that is the one thing I ever hope of you.

So finally i responded, “I am not gonna bother you and stand in the way of your wonderful life anymore…”.

I am SORRY, to had to end the conversation in such inconsiderate manner, with my cruel words of sarcasm.

It wasn’t the easiest thing I had to do in my life, as evident by the fact that I was actually all torn up deep-down inside when I heard myself saying what I said.

Hate me now?

Perhaps you should.

Me?

I am definitely hating my own gut right now.

How could I possibly not be? My consciousness shall haunt me for this, maybe not forever, but for a very long time from now nevertheless.

But you know what? It would be totally worth it—if you can come out from this unhurt, and gotten over this soon enough, and most importantly, move on with your promising life ahead.

Even if it means I shall remain misunderstood and be ill-regarded by you hereon in.

Bottom line is YOU OUGHT TO BE WELL, and steering clear of me might be a better way for you to follow.

(I doubt my worthiness of such close attention from you…)

The duration of 24:37:07—there goes the almost half-an-hour of wasted-moment in your life.

Sorry for being your source of time-wasting, in such early hour of the day.

I am probably too undeserving--to had you calling and even stayed on with me for such substantial amount of time…...

Oops! I did it again (and again…again…and again…)

I have done something terrible…

(I’ll be damned if I ever need to live a life without books & tunes…)

My self-imposed/short-lived self-disciplinary attempt of “no more CD/Book shopping” were totally abandoned by none other than my weak-minded self, which has always been deeply-inhibited in the unhealthy sense of greediness and an abnormal appetite for all things pleasurable.

All I could remember about this incident was: me lowering my guard at the sight of those big bold signs that marked “Year-End Clearance Sale”, which upon closer inspection led me to the discovery of some great deals in the form of discounted rates: “30%” or “70%” or even “90%” REBATE!

So before I knew it, I lost all ability of self-control and started to grab myself a handful of unbelievably-low-priced-merchandises, subsequently found myself queuing-up in front of the payment counter and then willingly handed over my hard-earned cash.

Oh yeah, now come to think of it, I didn’t actually need to pay much though, because the figures on the price tag was so low, sort of like cheaper-than-dirt-cheap, IT ALMOST COSTED ME NOTHING!!!

Heck, with price this cheap, they are practically giving out the stuffs for free!

And I think it would totally be a crime if anyone could walk out of this book fair empty-handed.

So do you still think I should be faulted for eating my own words?

Haaaaahaaaaahaaaa.
