"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts." - William Shakespearthe sun risen once again.
birds chirping.
light triumphs over the darkness once more.
it was no different morning.
the last day of 2006.
i told myself a million times
that i will never write this entry
but it seems like i can't help it.
lying on the bed. falling in and out of sleep.
i kept feeling the need to write this letter
and bid farewell to 2006.
walked into the shower.
turned on the tap.
water flowing through every inch of my skin.
i felt it cleansing and washing away all the burdens,
miseries, sorrows, and grieves from my laden heart.
if i had a wish.
may 2006 never come.
it was not a good year.
but one that i had to endure.
losing 2 of my beloved ones forever.
the midnight of 1 dec'06 will always remain in my heart.
You will always be in my heart,
there you'll live forever.
calling out to you in your last breathe.
your eyes turned. they were on me.
i knew you heard me. and you left.
i'm sorry to be upset.
but you know you mean the world to me.
without you, there will never be me.
i love you grandma.
your time was up.
looking into your eyes.
the soul that is ever strong.
a soul that speaks of no death, but life, determination and perseverance. a soul that fights to live even when circumstances do not allow.
you are a legend.
going through the world war,
losing your child in the bombing .
lost your husband and fought to live with your children.
working thru the day and night with no rest.
earning every single cent you could with your two bare hands,
so that your children could live.
your soul speaks of strength and courage,
one that is not seen today.
you will forever be my hero,
my strength and courage to live like you do.
i love you grandma.
30 days after you have gone.
i miss you.
i knew you would go someday.
but it was too soon....
i wish you could come back.
and hold me like i was a baby.
carry me when i fall.
prepare breakfast before i get to school.
buy lunch. cook dinner.
cry with me when papa was not around.
nag at me when i spent too much money.
chasing me home from bowling to much.
going down all the way to bowling alleys to look for me.
i miss you so much...
my heart once known to love, warmth and care.
now numb.
numb to the pain and sorrows.
numb to the emotions of life.
i no longer know how to feel.
it's a sorrow beyond words can describe.
a pain beyond pain.
i'm lost.
i have my directions.
i can navigate.
but i've lost my strength to carry myself forward.
i'm lost without feelings and emotions.
i am an actor of the everyday life.
the world's a stage, and the men and women merely players.
pawns in the game of life and death.
this feeling would never end.
it would be better if i were not born at all.
it is a sick cycle of carousel.
someday someone else that i have held on would go.
one after another.
it hurts.
the best thing i could ever do is to be silent about it.
because it is has been a law of nature that this happens since man was born.
therefore there is nothing i can do about other than to find a way to be positive about it.
like; "it's her time. she went peacefully." "c'mon everyone's gotta go someday."
well... we're taught to feel that way.
but seems like i can't.
i can't.
the show must go on!
the sun still shines and the world still goes round and round.
and the so called "time" is ticking away.
well the only consolation i had was christmas.
it was the best day i ever had for 2006.
i really really enjoyed myself at acid bar.
i'm so glad that i went there.
24hours to the end of 2006 and the start of 2007.
i may not be happy i guess.
every second and minute passing by.
you're here with me.
before it really ends.
there's one person i really want to appreciate.
my mother.
now i know how much you mean to me.
i cannot lose you.
to my dearest Audrecia Yim.
i love you so much. without you,
i won't have taken it all so well.
thank you for loving me.
and to my dearest buddy Sam.
thanks bro.
i know you will always be standing by.
i love you man.
and to all of you.
Chris, Sam, Dino and all all all...
i love you guys. thanks for standing by me all this time. have a wonderful 2007.
to wrap this year up with one song...
