1 litres of tears...A New Start

'Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing...Live on'

Not sure if the above quote really comes from the real Aya-chan's diary, but the main idea is there... The year 2006 has been a 'dramatic' year for me and I muz had really shed 'a litres of tears' as i watched Korean's Dae junggeum, Sad love story, Goong and K-movies like 'A moment to remember, Daisy, The Classic....' I thought this wld be a korean-theme yr until i came across the jap-drama '1 litres of tears' and subsequently 'Taiyou no uta'... i muz say jap-drama really aced in the pace and plot and of coz the cast..

Anyway back to the drama that made me shed bulk of the tears (since i cried in almost every episode..), the most touching thing was the diary the main character, Aya, wrote in. From the initial neat handwritting which recorded the start of the high school life she's been anticipating to the increasingly 'in-readible' heart-wrenching words of fears and helplessness...the diary really recorded and traced the short but well cherished life of Aya..

Thought of the 'diary' I have written abt 3 years ago...which recorded the 1 mth i took to complete an 'art-work'. Of coz this is nothing compared to Aya's diary, but it's really amazing to look back and to revisit a 'well-documented' chapter in your life.... the exact feelings and emotions were revived once again and i really didnt know whether i shld cry becoz it's ended or smile and be glad that it had actually happened..guess this somehow rekindle the 'writing spirit' in me (if there's any in the 1st place..)..shall make this one of my new yr resolutions to start with.

Spent the last moments of the year 2006 with myself and clearing my room.... been throwing alot of stuff away, including my complete collection of 'i-weekly' (yah.. guess im a weirdo for collecting them haha).. physical and emotional baggage needs to be emptied every now and then i guessed..to welcome new stuff?? i hope so too...

Some random thoughts and new yr resolutions for 2007:
1) To be strong and healthy
2) To start learning driving
3) To read more and write more regularly..
4) To have a new start...


The year has gone but it has also made us strong.
The path was long but we walked it with a song.
There were fears and tears but we also had reasons for cheers.
Wishing you Happy Memories of 2006 and have a fulfilling 2007.

to be continued...
