HAPPY NEW YEAR!

a tiring day, i must say. went to celebrate a friend's birthday before that & headed to clarke quay to countdown.

i confess, we did bad things at clarke quay. =X we bought these bottles of party spray, 4 for $8. but after buying them, we were like, "why did we buy them?" so we posed as those who were selling all the party stuff and tried to sell our bottles, 4 for $10. we got rejected a couple of times, but eventually we sold them to some guys. i feel kinda bad about that, but that's gonna be the last bad thing i do before the new year.

and the countdown. at a side of clarke quay with a few friends, we counted down with the bustling crowd and watched the fireworks. the fireworks were so pretty! i made a wish again. but this time, i only wished for happiness. it's a new year, and this is the time for me to let go.

but as i was sitting by the river, taking in the picturesque night view of clarke quay, with that lady singing Selena's "Dreaming Of You" softly in the background, i couldn't help thinking about the good old memories. the serenity and the beauty, the walk down memory lane. not only of him, but of my dear friends. the fun, the laughter, and not forgetting the tears. when the topic of us embarking on our different paths soon was brought up again, i just felt so sad. yes, we'll meet new people and make new friends. but i really hope that i'll never lose touch with all those dear friends of mine.

there was a man beside me. he was alone and he looked sad. seeing him reminds me of how i've thought about how many broken hearts there were out there. is he one of them? i guess that's how life is, isn't it? you get your heart broken, but the lessons you learnt, it's all part of growing up. i've got my heart broken, and i'm growing up.
