all good things

well 2007 is finally here. time flies huh. its strange how time passes quicker as you get older.

anyway, my new year's night was passed at my aunt's place. was quite a night although not everyone was there. the michelle, melissa, lance and michael were not there. pearl, my bro and anna were not there too. but nevertheless still had quite a fun time. it was so funny when aunt sally was more excited than anyone else when the ships put up their flares at 12 midnight. but she was so nice about it "i'm so excited cos you all are here to celebrate new year with me". hahhaha how nice of her.

sigh back to work tmr. i'm dreading it. sheesh. i know abigail. i know it's all part of life. well, i got a job offer at a design firm and i don't really know if its what i wanna do. i know i shouldn't rush to make a decision but i don't want them to hold the place for me until march and me to tell them only then i do not wanna work there. it isn't very nice. wells. what i;m thinking is working at believers music as a guitar or keyboard teacher. and freelancing on design. i don't know. this way, i get to spend more time on doing something that i feel is more useful. but then i heard that the pay at believers isn't very good and i do not believe i am a good teacher. imagine me... hahah i can't totally. but i guess it would probably be a challenge. it's really something to think about because what if i don't get freelance jobs? would i be able to earn enough to help put my sister through school and live independantly?

anyway, i am halfway through a book by Jodi Picoult called Vanishing Acts. this book is INCREDIBLE. the method of storytelling is not the traditional through one persons eyes. but the story is told through the 5 main characters. the stories of these five people are seamlessly woven. the book deals alot with the fragility of what we already know and what's lost and what happens when you find it. what if its not what you think you've been looking for. what happens then? you can't just throw everything away. what now. its exceptional. i'm saving the book. cos, i can't find more of her books. anyone with more of Jodi Picoult? or Cecelia Auren.
