Cherish.

Currently Listening to: If You Seek Amy - Britney Spears

"The New Year isn't about what happened, it's about what's to come. The past is always with us, just waiting to mess with the present."

I kinda like this photo taken by C.

Watching the season premiere of CSI Season 9 almost reduced me to tears... almost. Regardless of whether it's CSI, Grey's Anatomy, The OC or Brothers and Sisters, i've grown over the years with the respective ensemble casts and have become accustomed to them being a 'family'. Needless to say, the loss of any cast member, especially if death was bestowed upon that character, would feel very real. I took away an important lesson today that could be summed in one word - cherish.

"He lived his life to the fullest each day, as if it was his last day..."

I haven't really had time to stop for a breather since ushering in the new year. Being down with eye infection is really an indication that i should slow down, breathe and pace myself. Still, I guess that's not really an option for me given the increasing number of assignments/projects as well as the increase in expectations, all going on concurrently. My 'disappearance' will become more evident once CNY is over and yes, one might say i am in burning bridges with my constant absence, but i guess i've already made my choice to spend my time more wisely than waste it on a night of partying. Anyway some bridges really deserved to be burnt la, especially those who think too highly of themselves. BUT i'll cherish, cos the feeling of loss, it's not something i ever want to experience.

This year, i've taken to having my i-pod as my best friend.. This best friend of mine carries all the songs, MMO's and lyrics which i need to listen and memorize so i'm pretty much going to be oblivious to everyone around when my earphones are in.

Happy Lunar New Year in advance!
