all over again

I guess this is when some of us look back in restrospect and think what a mess/joy it has all been. I could go on forever trying to summarise what 06 was all about. But what good would it do? Plus, I personally think new years - celebrations, countdown and all, are over-rated, because the idea of it all drives people insane somehow (yours truly included).

But if not only words can tell a story and if I were to depict my year in a graph, it would probably look something like this.






The graph of y = ln (x), where x represents time (t); t = 1 Jan 2006, 2 Jan 2006, ...., 31 Dec 2006, and y represents all the things good and nice. There were bad moments of course, but maybe they don't feel as bad as they were, because everything always looks better in restrospect. Or maybe they are heavily suppressed that I do not remember them anymore. Or maybe the bad moments did occur but were greatly compensated with better ones. Well, who's to say?

Graph is reset to y = 0 at the start of this year. I'm expecting a sinusoid, but again..who's to say?

But contradictingly enough, I believe that these intangible and immeasurable elements - elements with no physical substance, like love, pain, fear, maturity, etc, can never be quantified in such a way. And I look back at the graph and think that that is not in any way a close justification to what it all had been. But the graph looks pretty so let's just keep it there.

I don't make resolutions. But I do remind myself of the essentials. Imagine a brain full of colorful post-it notes, written on them things which I should always remember to do/not to do. Some of which include:

- olives and mustard don't mix
- separate colours from whites, delicates from non-delicates
- get off high horse
- not everything is a contest
- patience is virtue
- what goes around, comes around
- life is too short

I don't wanna say anything anymore. I just wanna start over. So let's start over, shall we?

Hello, I'm melodramatic....no more. Pleased to meet you.
