Time of the year again...

Each and every year, there will be a time frame where each and every person starts to get really emotional (popularly known as EMO for short), and think back on past happenings. For myself, it's around this time of the year, just before the New Year starts. What goes on is that people will think back on good things that has happened to them, the bad moments that has occurred, and the chances missed out on. Also, some think of what they'd like to do for the New Year, what people call 'resolutions'.

Well, personally, my resolution list is in the midst of formulation and finalization eventually before it will be revealed. Till then, stick around somewhere. The past year has been lean, with more poor moments than joyous occasions... The familiar would understand my point; others can only hope they'd understand more... Tis' not a good thing to be telling the world, you see. Cheer up, I'll tell you the good things that has happened.

For starts, I got contracted into regular service in the RSN under my choice vocation, the Naval Chef. It would, I believe, be a stepping stone for my future, and would be a much more rewarding experience, as compared to being a combatant as a gunner or comms specialist... Onwards and upwards I'll move on and on. =)

Next up, I got to know a Queen, one who commands respect and summons fear in me. Someone who's bidding I do, and someone who can influence me at her whim. Sounds weird huh... Yeah I know it does... Don't overreact, nor read too much into it... Get real, people...

Also, I've gotten to know a hell lot of people this year, from the military and also outdoors. There were people who I'm glad I got to know, as well as people who you'd rather leave on the shelf... Well, the world exists in a balance... Each rotten fug-hed is balanced by a good one. Glad it works that way.

Finally, before I close today's entry, I'd like to mention that I believe I've matured mentally as a result of the course of events that took place this year. Life, I'm ready for you. I'll tackle you the way you'd never imagined I would. Because I learned, because I braved the weather; the scars I carry with me serve as a reminder that never fades, never leaves. I'm here. Come get me.
