7 Feb 08, 1st day of CNY
After dinner at my aunt's, I decided to take a walk at the beach, alone.
I guess, after a hectic year, it's good to allow some time for reflections.
How time flies. It's been a year already. I can still vividly remember what happened last year during CNY. Anyway, those were painful memories, and I don't want to bring them up again.
The sea breeze was refreshing. The air was so cool, so fresh; you could almost feel all your worries being blown away by the constant breeze. There's a reason why I chose to return to this place on this day. To be honest, I've not set a foot in here since that fateful day.
People often say that a new year marks a new beginning. To have a new beginning, it's important to let go of the past. I guess, this is why I'm back.
I walked again the familiar route, the memories in disarray. During the past year, I've been avoiding, unable to come to a consensus with the cold, hard fact. I've been living in the past, in his shadow, ever so unwilling to look forward, and even disregarding the concern of those around me. Disconcerting, isnt' it?
As I looked at the beautiful and melancholic sea, a strong feeling dawned upon me. The vastness of the sea could take away any amount of sorrow and despair. All I have to do is to throw them all out.
And, it's a new beginning once again. It's a new chapter in life, awaiting for the beautiful colors and pictures to be painted in the chapters ahead.
This floating castle in which I reside
Where the violent storms of the purple moon
Refuses me serenity
My heart is a prisoner in your dreams
The battle fades when I awake
You are still far away from my reach
This illusion that I keep alive
Is a lie that has become my life

This a prose which my colleague wrote. A nice melancholic prose, isnt' it? Describes my feelings about him so vividly...
