GOODBYE 2005, WELCOME 2006
hope it isnt late to wish everyone a happy new year. the pc at home was down, hence the delay in updating.
i spent the last day of 2005, going to a podcast recording at esplanade with a wonderful couple - azlin and rudy. straight after that, i went to yai's place as there was a mini bbq with the aunties. hehhee... and at 7, i was already at ang mo kio mrt with riswandy and noorliza heading to serangoon cc to attend ariff's & aida 's wedding dinner. both were our schoolmates from beatty sec sch. and they have been together, or at least ariff has been chasing for aida, (hehehe... jgn marah, ariff!!! *winks*) for as long as i could remember. it was a beautiful wedding. perfect. no glitches at all. it was sweet of ariff to sing that nite even tho it was expected of him to do just that. he just loved singing and performing in front of crowds. i cant helped to say again, but the wedding was beautiful.
congrats ariff and aida, may both of u have a beautiful marriage life together just like the beautiful wedding that u had. both of u look gorgeous that night.
straight after the dinner, i went out to meet my sister, as she drag me to the dreadful countdown at esplanade. i told myself many years back not to go to a mass countdown party in any part of the country, but oh well.... just for the sake of my lil sister, i had to go to one. i got no choice, since she is still to young to go to a club. she actually wanted to go to the foam party kat sentosa, can u believe that?? isk.... i felt like a mother hen with two 15yr olds and a 10yr old gerls, sia. heaheha.... bawak anak2 abu keluar. hehhee...
adik, when u are older, pls lah.... try to avoid all the street parties. too many ppl... pening akak... jgn buat lagi eh.... kakak dah malas nak pergi tempat2 nie semua...
last year was the first that we did not really celebrate bapak's bday on the day itself, since i had a wedding to go, and we actually settle to have a late lunch / early dinner at sofra turkish restaurant, on sunday at ard 5. thanks to abg as for paying. hehhee... the food was okies, i reckon, but i still prefer the old turkish kitchen they had at millenia walk and rendezvous hotel. the servings were also big and most importantly it was yummy... and value for money.. sofra need to do a lot especially for customer service.
so... here's the new year... i had questions coming up to me asking what is the most significant thing that 2005 had for me. at first, i cldnt asking that. the significant things that happened in 2005 were that my gerlfrens got married and left me being single alone!!! arrrgghhh... hehhehe....
then when i think back, 2005 was a year of unions and reunions. it was definitely the unions of lots of my friends. and reunions of me and lots of other friends. in may, i was reunited with all of my secondary school friends from the normal stream. i meet up with another group of the express stream students during azlin's wedding in april and the very recent one, at ariff's wedding. met up with my primary school mates from westlake primary, like ishmann, nasir, sabrina, nurhasrina, and bump into mazlina once at a wedding. met up with the guys from my past. and through friendster, there's a couple of friends that 'found' me again after so long.
so, 2005 was definitely a reunion year for me. i had fun and learnt alot from the journey. now that, i've met most of my friends from my past, i wld still want to meet those that i didnt meet. and i want to meet up with new friends, definitely.
and my wish for 2006, i hope i'll be a better muslimah, i'll find solace within myself, i'll be a better person especially to ppl ard me. insya-allah.
to all of us, hope that this new year, we learnt from our mistakes in the past and try not to dwell on them, we have to move on and continue with life. hope that 2006 will be a great year for all of us, insya-allah..
