New Year's Eve always give people the creep. Somehow 2008 had been un exceptionally long year. Somehow it just felt so long (much longer than the rest), somehow it just felt so much had happened in that same period of 365 days. A small quote from a random conversation I had this morning, "the years before 2008 felt like half of a lifetime; 2008 felt like the other half."
So yesterday was the New Year's Eve. Well, given that amount of work, all that I could manage was to attend the nightwatch service in the church at night. Yeap, indeed, even on a festive season as such, half of it was fully dedicated to work.
Left house at 7 to meet Faith at Sempang. After so many on-offs and discussions, we finally came to a decision to meet on the last day of the year. A special year of novel events marked its end by spending it with a significant someone. At first I thought I might be slightly late, but the bus came earlier than expected, and the traffic turned out to be better than it seemed to be. So in the end, I was early instead. Well, a place of memories always struck much sentiments and emotions. Bearing that in mind, the guy-deep-in-thought decided to take the old route to that playground. Yes indeed, the only constant is in the change itself. It became serenity no more, but largely plagued with the presence of the foreign workers.
Went to the old place where we only had dinner once, before Faith turned out shortly after. Haha, had a nice long conversation after so long. Stop blaming me for setting the time earlier arh! It didn't turn out to be too much of a waste in the end! Good quality time, somemore it's the last day of the year! Walked around at Shop and Save before setting off to church together. Met Joel's cell who had gone for cell outing earlier that day. Nightwatch service was definitely fun, talking about changes and relating it to one of the chapters in Joshua, linking across Exodus and Deuteronomy. Cool service, until count down. It sure felt good. Walked Faith home. And that should mark a good end note to year 2008 bah^^
