Something before the new year.
The Reflection
Alot's happened in this year of 2007, and really quick at that. I've come to meet all sorts of people, and experience new and exciting events, environments.. etc. Coming into Polytechnic, experiencing Design.. embracing music in its totality.. and tons more. Everything's gone by in a roller coaster of a blur. From the nerve wrecking opening of my O level cert, to Christmas in Bangkok.. i've not really stopped to gain my bearings. Well... its a day to the new year, and perhaps now's the right time.
The People
I've met tons o people, be it through awesome FOW, uberly awesome DOC (and the PACIFIERS), Design, or whatever. Some of em have become quality friends that i truly cherish. I've come to realise something though, and wont deny that out of these many acquaintances, i can only say that i have but a small handful of friends who would be there for me.
I am 100% aware of my looking extremely blur naturally and often, as Clara quotes " classic christian staring into space" tendencies. Undoubtedly this has led many friends to think that i am rather "tao" or perhaps even not there to hear a friend out or pay attention. For those of you who have beared with this, trust and have faith that i do listen, and have always been.
Anyway, whether or not this has contributed to my state of relationships, i am certain that change is needed. I know that i'll never stop being "sotong" christian, or well... plain blur. But nevertheless i can try to show you guys that i do care.. whether its trying to look more like im listening or being more attentive.. ill work on it.
RESOLUTION NO.1 : PAY ATTENTION CHRISTIAN.
The Passion
I've done tons this year, working on my Designs... Music and basically trying to enjoy myself as much as possible. More prominently, would be my work on my band Clover Manifest which has progressed rather well i should say. My designs have been coming along fine too, and im happy with how my photography is doing. I have to come to realise something though.. and i am glad that i have. These passions have overcome me to an extent, and are in all actuality very self-indulgent. I feel that i have perhaps lost track of some things that truly matter. Things i have neglected include..
-Doing some quality Charity work.
-Showing some care for my family, friends.
-Contributing to Society
-Church
I've come up with some ideas to work on these things, and some even involve infusing my hobbies and passions with them.
Hopefully, they will come to fruit and i pray that i do not falter and end up making false accusations. It's time to start thinking more about others.

RESOLUTION NO.2 : OTHERS! THINK OF OTHERS!
But who's to blame?
For a love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.
And Aubrey was her name.
We triped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was June.
No it never came around.
If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,
But God I miss the girl,
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me.
And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best.
But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.
There have been tons of experiences that a night's worth of blogging couldn't recall. Some wonderful, some horrible, and some plain hurtful. Well... no point looking back its time to look to a better year ahead and some resolutions to fulfill. There's just one thing to pull out and highlight though from this collage of 2007.. (and ive got to do this.)
THANK YOU to all of you (you know who you are) who have truly been there for me! Specially me family! GUYS! Stay with me next year okay! This sotong needs help with getting used to his naive view of life!
Signing off on the last post of 2007,
Christian!
Before i go though, heres a song. It's meant alot, probably will continue to as well..
Great song, beautiful song. Well.... it's just amazing. Thanks bread.
Aubrey by Bread.

A not so very ordinary girl or name.But who's to blame?

Update?
Once again a highly unsubstantial post by your truly. Well, nobody ever drops by crimsonology
(and those who do are oh- so familiar with these posts) so ...what the heck here i go.
I've not felt this way about someone in a long time. And when i say long i mean, really long. Like, long long long, well you get the point. While there have definitely been times where things would look up and i could feel that old jim carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind vibe coming back.. It's never really happened. Anyway, it is a good feeling to have. I'm not sure if its attributed to the holidays, the mood and what have you... but its happened. And well, (in true christian fashion) its uberly groovy insanely wickedly impossibly righteous AWESOME. (my aresenal is growing).
I've come to realise that while i may have been extremely critical of a certain someone back then, it wasnt entirely my fault. Shit happens, and people change. Whoop dee doo. When it did happen though it affected not only me but my friends around me... and i dont think i want that to happen again. Well as they say, with experience comes better results!
Anyway, dam im random today. But.. yeah that insanely awesome feeling.
Thanks. (uberly big smile)
On another note, checking out the christmas decor at Orchard tmr and hopefully shooting some grooovy photographs with Rach!
Man its been long.
Well.. Good night blog!
And few (if any) readers who read my blog!

The Post.
Sometimes stuff keeps you up late in the night. Stuff that's probably not very extravagant. Stuff that you cant drop from your thoughts. This fool apparently, is awake thinking of "stuff". What am i doing! Theres a photoshoot in 5 hours and i havent got some much-needed sleep! I dont even have a Zoom Lens, which is beside the point. Argh, Random.
Christmas songs are beautiful, i just wish it could snow in Singapore. I;m definitely starting to feel that christmas jingle, what with the tree decor ive been doing at work lately... Oh, the reopening of my christmas playlist in Itunes too!
Santa if you read this, i'll leave you cookies this time if you help me to forget "stuff". No wait, "Stuff" is nothing bad to be thinking about at all;;. It's awesome! How bout that Micro Lens St.Nick?
Now listening to: Walking In A Winter Wonderland- Bing Crosby
