Happy New Year!! How had your New Year been? Fun I hope. Well, I spent my eve in front of my pc with a group of friends playing Dota. I know this may sound boring but I think it suit me just fine. Staying at home allow me to reflect on what I had done for the past year and also to think ahead of what I want to do in 2008. Plus the fact that Dota is free and allow me to have my own personal space rather than squeezing with tons of other people make it more appealing.
To be honest, 2007 had not been that fantastic to me. I think I had grown up quite a lot. Losing a close of friend of mine and also having a close friend of mine doing something which I never thought he. All these seem to be like a medicine helping me to grow and be strong. Things happen for a reason. Problem is that we might not be able to understand each reason behind it.
Like why did God had to take away someone so young and capable? Why did someone close to me had to tell a lie so blatant that I were the last one to find out? Why is it that I had always try my best to be nice to everyone but this do not seems to be the case for others?
Recently finish reading The Kite Runner. It's a very touching book and there are a number of phrase in it that I like. To quote from the book :
The ending was all that mattered. What all wanted to know was the ending. Did the Girl in the film find happiness? Did the guy in the film fulfill his dreams and got the girl he had always wanted? Was there happiness in the end, they wanted to know.
If someone were to ask me whether the story of Hassan, Sohrab and me ends with happiness, I would not know what to say. Does anybody?
After all, life is not a film. Life goes on, unmindful of beginning, end or crisis, moving forward like a slow, dusty caravan of nomads.
The above sentence seem to summarize life. Yes. One can be sad, unhappy and wondering just what's wrong with the world around them. No matter how much time they spend in wallowing in self pity, life goes on. Life do not care if someone had left you. Life would not stop just because it is painful to move on. Life will not stop even if you want it to. We just got to move on. Treasuring our memories, loved ones and looking forward to what's lie ahead.
I am looking forward to a better 2008. Hope that you guys will have a great year ahead too.
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
