hello 09

it's gonna be december in a few hours' time, and i was just thinking "where has the year gone?" it's missing from my memory now. i try to think of 2008 and it seems like a big gap. i remember 2007, i remember new year's eve at esplanade, i remember going to thailand, going to every polytechnic in singapore, going to tekong, going into police.

i only remember the big events. the rest of the days are gone, melted and flowing into one big river of my life. i can't see them anymore. maybe i could if i tried very hard, but for now i'm not trying to remember any particular incident and nothing is entering my mind. where is the year?

the festive season is coming, but i suppose it's not going to be very festive to all of us poor ns men, with the thought of returning to camp surely destroying much of the fun. it's gonna be out on wednesday evening (christmas eve), in on thursday evening (christmas day), and out again on friday evening for the weekend. same for new years'.

but in the meantime, excuse me while i go search for 2008.
