Songs of friendship and nostalgia air on the radio non-stop and it is yet another session for recollection of events of the years past and passing.
Today is also the birthday of one very nice girl whom I used to fancy in secondary school which (fortunately for her), did not develop into anything more toxic. Happy birthday, Xueying!
It was also on this date that I was faced with the sad truth about someone whom I had always regarded as a good friend who (unfortunately for me) turned out to be an ingrate who would just as soon sacrifice anyone around him, which included falsifying facts and spreading untruths, to appease a cow.
And now that we're done with NYEs past... 2008 hasn't exactly been a wonderful year, what with all the calamities, natural (Sichuan earthquake) or otherwise (economic crisis, melamine incident, etc).
Things have been very slow and quiet on the bread-winning front. Companies are very cautious about spending. A legal tussle may be looming but thankfully a major pest was eradicated with little time to spare. Still, it's better late than never.
The highlight of the year has to be the adoption of our son, a canine furkid whom we have lovingly named JacJac (see my previous postings!). He is growing into a handsome, strong boy of 10 months and counting.
I'd be sure to raise my champagne to better things in the new year.
The best is yet to come!
