2010 has been a year of many things for me. Some of you probably already know the things that I have went through. But by far, the single and most important thing that has happened this year for me would be the fact that I moved my career to Singapore. I can't help but recall the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost;
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could,
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
I think the phrases ..
"Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way" ... represents my thoughts and feelings perfectly.
I kept the first for another day, yet knowing .. how way leads on to way.
Indeed .. my road to Singapore has lead me on through peaks and valleys. It has led me from one thing to another ... and indeed .. I doubted if I should ever come back ...
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence"
I sincerely hope that I won't be telling this with a sigh .. somewhere ages and ages hence :)
In any case, this is not a post of reflections. Too much reflections to post. Yea .. my head is getting slightly bigger (and nope, not having problem wearing my tees yet).
As I have told one Silly Gal .. " ..wishing you a year of many joys, laughter and smiles" .. and now ..
I wish the same thing to all of you who drop by and take a peek at my blog time to time ..
A year of many joys, laughter and smiles. For I know .. when there is smile and laughter, there shall be relief from the burden of this world. And when you find it hard to even think of a reason to smile, look me up.
I can't promise I can crack you up .. but I know for you who read .. I am willing to be the clown (Fortunately for me, there aren't many of you who read :D)
So cheers, and may 2011 be a year of joy, laughter and smile.
你知道当你需要个夏天
我会拼了命努力,
我知道你会做我的掩护
当我是个逃兵
