new 2006, new resolutions, new hopes... what else?

-3rd day of year 2006-

a new year means to have new hopes, new plans, new perspectives and get unfinished things to be done in the new year. usually i dont plan resolutions because i know i wont keep to it or in the other sense is that i think my life is good enough and am pretty much contented with what i have - a bunch of buddies whom i can share my woes, a boyfriend whom i feel he loves & cares for me far enough, a family that i need not worry much, a job that i am happy with so far. isn't that good enough?

i did not do anything great over the weekend. just spent my time with my love ones and friends, learning what new happened in their life before embarking on their new journey into 2006. a couple of interesting events happened over the weekend.

(1) i was @ the lawyer's with one of my friends talking to the lawyer on drawing up separation paper. (2) got to know my gal-friend decided to "break up" with her boyfriend of 7 years. (3) a newborn baby was brought into the world last night.

interesting to know from the laywer that separation/divorce has been made so simplified and easy in Singapore. so long that no child is involved and if both parties are agreeable, a couple can be divorced within 6 months after they ROM for as short as 4 months -- this is called annulment.

as i was listening to his explanations on the different procedures (annulment, separation & divorce), at the back of my mind, "how worthless a piece of marriage paper can be especially if no customary ceremony is being carried out!". i can be a part-time marriage legal consultant... hahaha...

of course then again, there was so much hype when we were planning for the 1st wedding in akino. =P

surprised by 1 of my sec sch gal-friend that she has "broken up" with her 7-year boyfriend especially when she was so looking forward to his return from australia 1+months ago. another case of things happening at the wrong time for both parties - girl: all ready to get married and settled down. boy: just back from studies in australia, looking for a job, very much still wants to enjoy life with friends and not committed to be tied down.

finally got an sms from feli last night! her little baby boy decided to pop out to take a look at this new beautiful world! going to visit her and the little one tonight.. am so looking forward.. so heartwarming to start 2006.. =)

a super long essay for the 1st blog in 2006.

may everyone has gotten all their hopes come true in 2006 and live their life to the fullest without much regret!
