For starters, I am really not used to my frequency of blogging this week. But since I have something to say, why not? Anyway, things have definitely turned for the better, and once again this proved my wait and patience, coupled by my optimism, has led me to somewhere at least. No doubt someone told me I might go crazy before anything, but oh well. It didn't. Either that, or I am already crazy as it is. But still, I am really relieved that Yuhuai can go to Italy now. Neither party would be really happy if thats not the case. It was a nice good general feelings, with good things and things to look forward to sprouting from almost every corner. Things, as I might say, have turned refreshing. Whoever will ever think that the silly crazed bunch of us, most often known to only go online to book movie tickets, would know be dabbling in the world of aviation. Yeah..and I'm talking about air tickets to Europe and back costing by the thousands. Refreshing development. Even the senior group who wants to extend is expanding. But I'm seriously still quite worried for them. As in their safety. I've travelled to Europe before, but I know no other place is as dangerous and unpredictable as Italy. Especially the period of time we are going - in the middle of Good Friday and Easter Sunday - all the more makes it a really complicated senario here. Now I have 3 plans. Plan A: book my own air ticket on SQ from SIN to MILAN using Krisflyer miles and come back with the main group flying Emirates. Plan B: book my own air ticket on SQ both from SIN to MILAN and back from ROME to SIN. All using Krisflyer miles too. Plan C: Stick to the orginal plan the school had for us. Everything remains status quo. Subject to changes on the school and agent's side. CNY is coming, and suddenly there are many things to do..unfinished businesses maybe. Apart from the notion of getting angbows and money, I'm pretty sure CNY was meant as a festival of reunion for people too. That brings me back to a point I've been procrastinating for the past few weeks - I have not bought my new year clothes, or at least in everything I've bought recently, red doesn't take a place. Next, I'm pretty excited to know that this year I will be meeting my old friends, whether they are already enlisted in the army or not, there will be a reunion for everyone to come together. Even the meeting of teachers inclusive. CNY is another New Year to me, perhaps even more meaningful and impactful than the real new year that hit all mankind on the 1st of Jan. For one, I was nuah-ing away on New Year due to a lack of parties but now I'm really looking forward to the festivities of CNY. It will really be a new start for me as an grand, really red entrance into 2008. That is perhaps the reason why I really respect this festival. I believe whatever it is, things will only show a change, a solid one, after CNY. Perhaps it is my traditional and superstitious me shouting out again. But sometimes, it is indeed better to believe it than not. Hahah.. I was just reading my old blog entries since 2005. I cannot believe I wrote them. i guess thats the most amazing part about growing part, doing silly things you never knew you did. Really, but I can't blame my past self for that, for at that time and place I was truly happy, feeling that way and being just plain content. It was truly me wherever I am. And I'm thankful for that. Not everyone can be themselves at any given time or place. I cannot believe it is already Feb 2008. Time is passing much faster than I thought when I'm working. Incredible. Come on, rock me on. Embrace!
