The Way We Were
by Barbra Streisand



Mem’ries,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?
Mem’ries, may be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it’s the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

2004 has certainly left a monument in our heart with its tragic ending of tsunami in Sumatera which has caused millions of lives affected by it. It also made the tsunami in my heart is very much smaller comparatively. My heart goes to all the victims of tsunami. May The Lord ease their pain and sufferings and may He graces them with strong heart and will to rebound from this tragedy.

I don't know how many people out there are puzzled by my dissappearance from this blog for quite a while. The problems I have at the moment are not solved just quite yet. I'm still waiting for some confirmation and need to make a few phonecalls here and there. I have plans in my mind on how to solve them but for some unknown reasons, I couldn't find the strength to pursue the solutions. Maybe because I know the solutions will not produce the results as soon as possible. Ahh, patience is not the virtue I have at the moment. Oh boy, poor me!

I wish to say thank you to everyone who gave me word of encouragements when I was down for the past weeks. I appreciate them very much. And thanks to Aini for reminding me, "dulu kental, sekarang mesti lebih kental". Thank you for your unwavering and unstaggering support. I wonder what will Caza say to me if she knows what kind of shit am I in right now. Hmm..I probably have one or two ideas about what she will say.



Anyhow, 2005 is at the doorstep now. Waiting to be welcome with all our endless anticipation. What am I looking in this year? I don't really know. I do have plans but I don't know how to fit my plans in this year precisely. I guess why not if I just let the time takes its course and gives me cues wherever to slot in the plans here and there.

Good bye 2004 and welcome 2005. Please bring me more good times than bad times, will ya?
