Merry Xmas and Happy New Year
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year
Originally uploaded by kennyt.
I'd like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year. I
will be away from Wednesday (21st Dec) onwards. Kenny will be spending
Xmas in Singapore! There will be a party with close friends on that
merry day. Boxing Day will be in Hong Kong and will be back to
celebrate New Year's Eve in Singapore again. Don't think that life is
all fun for me though. I do try to keep the happy thoughts and times
in the blog. But it has been a tumultuous year and even more
roller-coaster December for me emotionally. 2005 has had kinder
moments, like the trip I had with my sister and brother. The
snowboarding experience in Australia over the southern winter. The
dinner I had with my parents last month, after missing them for so
long. The great opportunity to write for some of the best editors and
publications around. The blessed year of financial stability or at
least being able to scrape through. And I've had the great fortune of
being surrounded and cared by some of the most understanding,
thoughtful and supportive friends I've had in my whole entire life.
For that I am forever grateful. 2005 has been a memorable year indeed
and it stands out among the years I've lived for it's eventfulness
By saying that, I also mean to say the year had its fair share of
trying times. What I've put on the blog so far are just a
concentration of my thoughts and pictures I've snapped when I'm
feeling good. But if you've been noticing my lapse and sometimes delay
in posting, well it just means I am not in the mood. Life is such. It
will give you a candy, and then slap you in the face. It's a mixture
of goodness and sadness but hopefully not one right after another,
like my analogy. At times it does happen, and it did happen to me this
year. There are a lot of things that are beyond our control in life.
To err is human. Life will present itself as forgiving and nurturing
but one day some of the smallest mistake will bite back, and you will
see that it's like God's weaving of life. It's all part of his grander
plan. That if you take sugar, your body will produce insulin. If you
receive goodness, there will be sadness. In almost equal amounts. If
you can only taste the sweetness and crave only for them, then that's
not life, its an idealistic shell - the tales of story books and
movies. So to those who read this, I hope you will see that there is a
balance in everything. That we cannot dwell in only the goodness or
the badness. It's all equal. That we cannot only expect to love
someone just for his goodness, but his occasional badness as well.
That's the way to love life, embrace life. Merry Xmas and Happy New
Year
