Hello, Goodbye.

You say goodbye and I say hello

Every now and then I sit around and look at life pass me by. Then the fact that time is flowing by quickly as well hits me and I start panicking. But such periods of reflection are inarguably beneficial for oneself. Or so I say.

2008 has slipped by, rather quietly, though not that smoothly. Every single event in 2008 left a notch in my soul and, hopefully, stay vivid in my memory. Things only happen once and memories then to fade away pretty quickly.

For now, the most vivid moment in 2008 stays sharp, and looks seemingly like a cross-processed film. Other significant events are stored away, locked in the depths of my memories where I sometimes pull out and relive the moments second for second. One thing I have learnt to do, though not that good at it, is to record videos in my memory and playback as and when I want to. Such as the "Space Shot" ride during my Genting trip.

Much of the things I set off to accomplish during this year has either failed miserably, or I have not gotten anywhere near it at all. Who do I have to blame? Evidently, not enough effort and commitment was put into everything. This is one point to improve on in the coming year.

Consistency is another issue to be addressed. With half the time failing to do what I want to do, and the other half not knowing what to do, I really do have a lot to consider and amend. Life has been pretty docile for me and that might change anytime. I really cannot wait till the last moment before slamming the emergency button and hoping for things to get better.

Hopefully, 2009 will be much less of a roller coaster ride, and more of a constant trek up to the mountain summit.
