Merry Christmas Everyone

     Everytime when christmas comes around, it makes me happy and sad at the same time. I'm Happy because it's christmas! You get invited to parties and you catch up with friends and exchanged gifts. Then there's a lot of people walking around a red christmas hat that just create the christmas mood. And not forgetting all the sales going on in shopping mall in conjunction with christmas and also people are trying to push off current year stock before the new year arrives. with so much things going on, who can say that they are not happy? Also, this year is a bit special because i have a dear friend getting married tonight! I'm happy and excited for her and i here i want to wish her all the best in her new life.

     It's 7 days away from year 2011 and I'm both excited and a bit moody at the same time. I'm excited because I get to make a list of new year resolution AGAIN, and making sure that I will fulfill it. if not all of it, at least 70% is better than nothing. Then again, a new year coming means you will get a sudden rush of motivation to get up and strive for whatever it is that you want to achieve in the new year, especially things that you did not achieve in the current year :P Month of December always gives me a holiday season feel and it does makes me more happy most of the time.

     But then 7 days before the new year arrives also makes me sad because i have to waive goodbye to year 2010. At this point I've decided to keep only happy memories and leave those unwanted experiences behind. I think I finally understand why I get a sad feeling whenever the year is closing in on me. it is mainly because I haven't lived my life to the very best I can and thus I always get a feeling of lacking here because there's always an emptiness in my heart and a feeling of regret that I did not live my life up to my own expectation. I guess this thing happen to me because I don't live conciously all the time. What do I mean by that? Sometimes I feel like I'm not conciously living life for the current moment. it is like I'm not aware what I'm doing sometimes. Is this common among people who have lost their direction and goals after a few years of routine life of work - home - eat - sleep - work .....and the cycle repeats. Do any of you feel the same way I do?

     Last but not least, here's a few pictures of the Christmas party last night:

Susan and me, acting like happy small kids after getting lollipop from Santa :P
