so it's been 2 years since we were sitting on that fence in westminster watching london revel.
and it's been a year since we were gathered at bahir's place in the city watching the valley revel.
tonight will be relatively quiet, and i've decided that i am ok with that. sobriety should be embraced gracefully every now and then.
if you haven't already noticed, i've not been "in the zone" as far as writing is concerned. but i'm determined to put out a decent post before the evening is over.
without further ado, i'll let the sentimentality take over -
thisyear found thisguy;
- participating in the production of one of Malaysia's most exciting new local films
- getting lowballed by some bastards in the industry (and some outside the industry)
- gaining weight in penang
- setting up house for the kitten in seremban
- riding camels in karachi
- scoping thai chicks in bangkok
- tomb raiding, playing erhu and guzzling amok and angkor beer in siem reap
- hitting on hooter girls and sipping s'pore slings with an englishman in singapore
- singing queen anthems with the mafia and guzzling speedy's wild boar curry with jon in cherating
- chilling, brokebacking and getting super wasted in pangkor
- drinking beer topless with the five families and upgrading my software with colleagues in genting
- scaring suburban passers by at oktoberfest with the lousiest indian drinkers this side of the city
- migrating this blog then losing half a year's worth of journal entries
- catching up with old friends and struggling to re-establish ties (didnt do so well in this department)
- buying a new christmas tree for my family (it's a symbolic thing)
i don't think i've worked harder ever in my life before, yet i seem to have squeezed in a crazy amount of play too. to top that all, i got my best ever new year's present - my first promotion! (no raise yet though)
if you've stopped by to read this, drop a note and i hope you've had a good year and an even better one to come.
if you've had a shit year, go visit this site, and thank god for not having it as bad as saddam.
