It’s
unbelievable that 2006 is about to leave us within 24 hours.
During new year's eve I don't usually write nor remembering every single things that have been happening in my life the whole year. One thing that really makes me insist in writing this "'06 little note' is a memory of a conversation that was held a year ago at new year's eve party.
So I begin...
(Reverse 365 days)
New
Year’s Eve 2005. My friends an I held a
count-down-to-2005 party at some place near the beach. Peaceful
atmosphere indeed although some of us concerned about the issue of
tsunami and earthquake but thank God it all went well. Anyway,
after counting down to 2005 we all blended into a conversation about
our 2006-wishes as well as the curiosity of what 2006 is going to be for
each of us.
(It's not over yet)
I don't remember how we got into this conversation. Let me just think for a moment...

Ok, I think it all started with one of my friends who happened to be partly Chinese who was discussing about Chinese calender sign for 2006.
"The 2006 Chinese sign is dog", they stated.
"Hey, that's my Chinese zodiac sign", I shouted.
They stared at each other. Silent. Speechless. So, I asked why. None of them answered. I kept on asking but they remained silent. I though I wouldn't care what it was all about. Finally, one of them told me that I should be wary in 2006. According to Chinese calender, it's a dreadful thing to live in a year where we have the same zodiac. As Chinese prediction, I'll cope with many miserable shits, difficulties, and failures through all the year. The chance of happiness is tiny.
I thought for a moment then I said thank you to them. To be honest, it didn't bother me at all. I didn't believe in anything they told me but I did respect their belief which indeed is part of their culture in seeing life.
Back to present… (Dec 31st – 4:28pm)
My life in 2006 was just like 'life'. Really. I believe I'd been through sadness and happiness, failure and success, new and old, come and leave, dark and bright, ups and downs. Those are the things that had made my life colorful and I thank God for that. That's life. Well, that's how I define my life.
Conclusion...
To me, fortune telling, horoscope, and things like that are interesting but I don't have to believe it. If it says positive things, I use it for my motivation. If it says negative things, then just throw them away. Always think positive and look at the bright side.
Happy new year guys. We all earn the white 2007. May God guide us through all the year. Amien...
Cheers!
