Closing Chapter 2007

Closing Chapter 2007

so it's that time of the year... celebrations and parties sprucing all over, litter being thrown wherever there's been a countdown gathering, but most importantly, every individual having the one same thought on their mind ---> summarizing and closing up the chapter of 2007.

For friends and loved ones close to me would know, the bumpy road has been a long and challenging wave of sadness and also of wild partying.

Entered the year still a Corporal in Army...remember ppl, dun allow your son to ever disrupt! ORDeeed a PES C9L9, which was kinda cool though :)

Traveled to Bangkok with Yumin, my first ever trip to BKK without a girl... can imagine the things we got up to, things I had never seen or experienced in all my crusades there.

Traveled to Taipei with you. I loved every minute spent with you and remember every seconds we spent together there. I miss traveling with you...

Traveled to Vietnam, HCM, with my 2 fat brothers...okay one isn't fat... another blast of a good time there. The funny things 3 guys can get up to. You guys really gotta check out the videos we took. Crawled war tunnels, tried to kill a boy, $7 erotic hair washes, massages, sitting scooters, looking like rickshaw pullers, eating pho like everyday can, running outta money to take cab home, remembering not to leave keys on the door and who can forget: anti gravity missiles, panerais and omegas :P

One week before work starts, one week since coming back from Europe, 5 days before going to Malacca, we parted our ways. I never understood, will never understand, that triggering 'gd nite kiss' factor that led to this outcome. We all knew there were bigger underlying motivating factor(s), but this whole event really came as a sudden. Thought Europe would have made you realise my importance, but it only made you realize how unimportant I am. What a parody... Brien: 0 - Colleagues: 1

I finally secured my first job. A job I entered with much suspicions and little enthusiasm. So this was my first slap of working reality. You don't always get what you want even though you know you're better than the competition. Life's a bitch and I married one. Well, thank god I was able divorce in my case. So on the day I tendered my resignation, i also gave up my position at Vickers Securities...a contract i had already signed and accepted. Still looking at it and wondering if it was a bad move... Checkmate!

Positions that were offered after my resignation included AmFraser Securities, Kim Eng, Std Chart SME Banking, KayHian.... Somehow...it all seemed to be dealer positions...just how crappy can my life get??? friends from uni all gg to big foreign banks...earning the decent money most of us hope to get. Am I jumping the gun? should i bite the bullet?

Went to Beijing and Shanghai for a total of 9 days. Was a blast! A friend i got to know recently played host for all my lodging and entertainment and i swear that was not a small sum at all. Stayed at his place opp olympic park 2008...cool hey... everynight was filled with alcohol and non sober supper meals...

Counted down to x'mas once again at joey's hse... what's new yea...its always the house party his family throws... prior to that had the annual get together party at uncle seng's hse... i wish my granny was still here to celebrate that day with us.

NYE: still without a plan. ended up counting down at loof with cousins and their other half... while everyone hugged and kissed their loved ones... i stood there peeping thru the glass window, asking myself when my other half will reappear....... Is it emptiness that I face now, and you being an accessory to fill up that empty space? Or is it in print that the gap can only be filled by that certain sweet you...


Wrapping Up:
I still wanna walk my life with you...
Hold my head up high, face troubles as they come and solve situations in a professional manner
Cheers to all for a brand new year!
