あけまして、おめでとうございます。

how is yesterday any different from today? well i woke up to a brand new year of 2011 eating a cucumber first thing in the morning. oh and doing laundry that has piled over the week due to my parents not being at home and me leaving it till now due to lack of time.

but really nothing has changed overnight. and that's not necessarily a bad thing in my books. counting down from one of hong kong's tallest skyscraper with my closest friends couldn't have been more prominent and ideal for a hopeful celebration of a better year to come. but to me, it was a count down to realization that i am still the same person, that my friends around me are those who will always understand me, that hong kong is the city that i will truly call home. it gave me nothing but assurance that i can continue to start this new year blessed and surrounded by the amazing people i have met at every stage of my life.

and so cheers to you, 2011, because no matter how much of an obstacle you may or may not throw at me, i will always be ready. because i know the most important thing is really quite simple - to never forget those who have shared my experiences in every way possible. because i guarantee they are the ones that will last me till 2012 and the many more years to come. but until then, 2011, i hope you and i get along really well.
