Absenteeism

In this confined vastness,
with silence filling up the room,
sitting here by the window,
emptiness fills me up.

It felt as though it was only yesterday,
although it has been such a long period of time,
your absence had been felt ubiquitously.

It felt as though we were still,
somewhat close,
somehow excruciating,
moving on the line,
or is it just me?

In this silent night,
the thoughts of you came across my mind,
the feelings of you still being here,
that feeling.

Perhaps,
        It was just me,
                      Missing you.

Summing up that year - 2014

It's been almost the end of the first week of 2015.
And I hadn't been free enough to sum up my 2014 >.<
That busy life of mine,
it ain't gonna stop :)

Been all busy throughout the whole year.
pretty much productive I shall say...
Work and studies...
But due to certain circumstances,
I resigned and continued to study full time,
to complete my ACCA which I targeted to complete by this June sitting
*fingers crossed*

Those who knew me,
knew I couldn't settle down since I'm a workaholic...
They had all tried to convince that it's for the better future...
That...
I knew...
But...
I just miss those days where challenges of work and study crashes,
it was what made me motivated & pushed me hard enough.

After that ACCA exam in dec,
I hadn't rest tho...
that week itself,
I traveled to Langkawi island with my ex colleagues and interns...
What's next after that week was a wedding of my bestie from zoo gang!
and 2 days later?
Taiwan vacation with my family...

Finally,
some time to settle down,
to write down my encounters and experiences.


As you grew older,
you realized time was never sufficient...
that was because as you grew,
you realized that how time is important!

No matter what,
always make time for families
then friends,
and lastly,
socialize :)

It seems to me that,
almost every year,
I lost an important person to me,
somewhat closed,
somehow much loved!

2014,
I've lost 2 of my family members,
each from a parent's side.
Devastated of course.
But they remain still in our hearts with the memories created.

I've lost a best friend too,
she was once my closed friend...
so close that I'm somewhat blinded by it.
*sounds like love?*
btw,she's still around!

There are mutual friends of us,
came back telling me that she had never treated me like one before,
as she denies it,
whenever ppl said how closed we were...
I on the other hand,
was pretty hurt once I heard...
but then again,
I chose to ignore it...
I chose to even ignore what had been talking behind my back...

Some say,
"why not you make the first move?"
I say,"I had but with her personality, I knew the more I do it, the more it's gonna push her away"
we hadn't been talking for almost a year now...

it was difficult for me,
for once, we had shared the good & bad times,
it's even more difficult for me when I knew what's going on behind my back..
but I moved on...

I chose to keep the memories we had,
no hatred,
no grudges...
She left with no words said,
and we never had talked since...

I've learnt to let go certain ppl in my life...
Though with much reluctancy,
with much love,
and how closed we seemed/used to be,
it ain't gonna work when it's only coming from one side..
all I knew was,
I've done my very best!

There are certain ppl in life,
and you thought they're gonna be there with you for life,
for as long as they could be,
but truth is, 
they weren't...
They're there to teach you an important lesson in life...

For that,
I thank you for showing me the true self,
even though it was a bit late...
but I've learnt...

2014,
made a few friends around tinder.
some left,
still kept in touch with one or two.
*friends without benefits; I know what you're thinking*

So,
what's next for me?
I had no idea yet...
current goals are...
complete my ACCA,
get involve with sports more,
and lastly, a job :)

It's gonna be a more challenging year by year,
but that's what life are made of...
ups and downs...
just like the heartbeat of a living thing ;)

it's half past 3 in the morning now,
best be getting some good sleep before a long drive tomorrow...

On another note,
hair's turning purple! WEEEEEE!
and the header?
I'll fix it SsssooooooooonnnN!
