05 ends

today we see off 2005
tomorrow we usher in 2006

with a new year entry
comes the usual new year resolutions
which are set and hardly met
but im proud to say ive met just abt all of mine
cant exactly rmb but ive missed not more than two
altho its good to set goals to achieve
this time i dun intend on making resolutions
over the year we lose sight of these things
and they become meaningless
until the end of the next year
den u realise and announce u didnt meet your resolutions

right now im just gonna look over my shoulder
look back at the year gone past
highlight some more important events

April: the acX story
yet again, not one of a fairytale. 2005 marked acX's first ever title defence since cross country started. as we know, we failed. ridden with my 12th ankle injury, it was a hard fought though lowly 10th place for me. our magical multi-month journey did not have a happy ending, but the build up was typical acX - stupendifantastabulous. as i look back now, i can still maintain my stand - i wouldnt exchange the experience for the title.

May: spiritual peak
yes i noe when i peaked. it was a snowball from the december youth camp. another amazing journey for me. i learned to live the life i should live, and i learned how to like it. i learned how to go about being a real christian and i learned how to do it well. now at least i know.

July: missing in action
the track and field. a tight schedule meant i missed the 800 record and even got dethroned. but second was good. i was content. then i missed my 1500 through a virus which almost killed me. seeing how im now in ib, i missed my last nationals with e giants from the same age group. it was a test of my ability to fend of the disappointment and frustration. i think i can give myself an A.

September: the qhueen throned
unofficically, the khing got his qhueen. of course a high point in my life, and still building upwards, moving forwards. no signs of slowing down. zilch.

December: team bonding
the traditional acX team bonding. involves plenty of training, lan, making fun and poking fun. we've actually come a long way. if some of us still even remembers, there were signs of cracks in acX when the new blood came in. now we're one again.


of course there are things that i wished i could go back and change, but keeping in mind that ups and downs must coexist together and that downs actually compliments ups, i must say it was a more uppy year than downy. the year's been great.

so here's bidding 05 goodbye and embracing 06. with hopes or beliefs that 06 will be a good year. hello world.
