You must miss this darling of a blog. This pale little blog which fills your screen with small words.

How do you do, comrades. This time, it really has been a while. This humble blog have been publicly neglected for a long time. All of us are scattered around the country, trying our darn best to attend classes, complete assignments, doing whatever it is that needs doing, in the hope of clutching a mere paper scribbled with honour, dignity, status, and bragging rights in our bare hands. Fulfilling our duties as future leaders and workforce in this country could not have been any simpler.

Have you gained any new experiences? Any precious memories? Any throes and agonies? What about heartbreaks and love-aches? Well, whatever that you have gone through, let us all take a while to realize that we have survived a supposed apocalypse. Did you pray the night before to ask to be excluded from the horror? Did you wake up in the morning looking to the west just to make sure whether the russet sun would rise from there? Or did you run straight to your window to figure out if the world is bathed in blood and terror yet? Is it possible that you checked the earth around you to see if the zombies are awakening from their grotesque slumber? If your answer is no, then I assume that in the moment of awakening you had laughed arrogantly and mockingly at the Mayans. I think most people would share your attitude for this 2012 Doomsday prediction, but some people actually did something as means to escape the so-called prophecy. From spending life savings on an ark to building doomsday bunkers in their yards, it is admirable to see the lengths that humans dare to go when you feed them with such information.

Comrades, let us set this apocalypse matter aside. We are still living, are we not? We are still breathing. Our lungs are still healthy enough to expand and relax to allow air -though polluted- to enter so that oxygen may be transported throughout our little bodies. Well I will not bore you with such crude biological information. Today, you still have sight. You still have your senses and cute limbs. Your body is still warm and your heart beats in your tender chest. Can you hear the sound of your muscles moving and blood rushing in your blue and purple veins? Yes, these are all signs that you are healthy, able and alive. Let us be thankful that for this year, though many disheartening things have happened, we are all still living. We still have our friends to speak to. The roof still shelters our heads. Our family is still at home. During this festive season, I assume that most of us have gone back to their hometowns or kampongs to celebrate the occasion. Those who spend the holidays alone, do not fret. Lets rid you of your loneliness for a minute. Shall we use this opportunity to reflect the years that have gone by? Do you still crave for the high school life like you used to? Well, maybe a little...  Perhaps you have adapted to your life as a university student? Yes. Perhaps as we all grow older, we grow wary of our responsibilities, and we mature. We are no longer adolescents, we are beginning to turn ourselves into something that people would call "young adults". My friends, I feel young, as how I should feel, but when I look into how many years have I lived on this planet Earth, and how long ago it seems the last time I put on my school uniform, I feel somewhat aged. Those years of awkward teenage-hood are being left far behind. We are all about to end our teenage years and starting our twenties. In a matter of time, we will be working in some company or doing business. Then we have to start thinking seriously about settling down and granting our parents some grandchildren.

There are things that man cannot avoid or run away from, and those things are age and death. So long as we live in this spatial world, we will age. Time and place will change us little by little. So let us join our hands together and make the most of the time that we have. We live in the now; not the past, not the future, but the present. Besides, a number is just a number, right? People always say, it is the thoughts in the mind and the values in the heart that counts. A healthy mind makes a healthy body. A heart of love creates a man of honour. Beloved comrades, we may not see each other, we may speak little to one another, but each and every one of us matter. At least in this blog. Cheers!


Happy holidays and have a happy Christmas. No amount of adjectives can express how much I would love to see your darling faces.
