A page. A life.

It was a long winding path below.

It meandered like a snake crawling through the sand.

It spiralled like a tornado perpendicular to land.

Some took a path, that no one would bestow.

A spiral that took years to bend,

Was now exploited by the human hand.

A lift that shot right into the sky,

An option some thought would oust to an all-time high.

Arithmetically proven like any graph or line,

Paths would cross at an unforeseen time.

A time we make a precarious choice,

A time flustered with fear and noise.

Standing a mere inch off the cliff,

Across the sea the horizon shifts.

Ahead, look down, like a massive crevasse,

Its time, we tested our leap of faith.

The puzzle piece that fits, the puzzle piece that never fails to make me smile /

A crazy week. I rarely have such crazy weeks.

Its been a little more than 2 weeks, since we counted down to 2010. 2 weeks was all it took, for me to smile, scream, sober, saunter, serenade. A short span of 2 weeks i'll remember for the rest of my life, because of meaningful, heart-warming events.

The lingering warmth.

The fuzzy buzz.

The crackly voices.

The sore tears.

The talkative nights.

And, we end this week on a wonderful note. Thanks to my cousin Jingyi for singing this with me. And I post my song here, dedicated to well, someone (LOL)

Disappointed in thyself.

Disappointed in what I've done.

Disappointed in how I've let people down.

Sorry.

I'm just a fucked up kid.

A year that served a fluorescent lamp,

A year ahead that's still unsung.

We ended 2009 with a slam,

Let us start the decade with a dunk (:

A year has gone by since I wrote a pretty memorable post. I remember it as the door analogy, if you look into my archives - january 2008. That was my learning lesson for the year. That was a turbulent year - 2008, I should say. 2009 sowed a whole different range of feelings, a whole new dimension, and a whole new definition my own life. Every cloud has a silver lining, I guess 2009 was my silver lining.

I have a lot of people to thank for the year that has just gone by, and I hope we look into the year 2010, with a smile - and that 2012 won't happen (: Time could never be any quicker. Last year, many would remember that this day was called "km got esther's first 2009 scolding" day, well FAMOUSLY known. Yet we stepped through those times. We made the most of noises, we made the most of our smiles - and we made the best of everything we could grasp onto. Feelings of confusion, fear, love, laughter all in one memorable 16th; a 365 day-long journey.

I look at myself in the mirror. It was a reflection I wanted to see, yet didn't want to. I looked at Me, and Me looked at me - I wanted to see how I've grown, but I hated to see how I've changed. A colourful year put me past my past wrongs, and the dark times of my past. I'd always thought that life can be manipulated, but I now believe that my flawed hypothesis could sometimes be wrong. In 365 days, a change took place, one that slipped flawlessly into a path I was fated to take. The path was winding, and would never cease to stop being that way.

I took 365 days of 2009 to understand myself.

I'll take 365 days to follow my heart.

Thank you (:
