Ushering in a New Year

wassup everyone??? first off, a happy new year to all Atlanta-ians! although i dunno how many of u will get to read this.. well, its a new year, 2005, and its our 2nd semester.. some of u may have done well in da 1st semester, give urself a pat on ur back, well done.. for others, like me, who didnt do so well, nevermind, try again, work harder! very soon, another academic year will be over before we know it.. : ) all da best for the new year!!

anyway, as we usher in a new year, as we make resolutions in our mind, as we wish one another a fruitful, meaningful year ahead, lets not forget the hundreds of thousands of victims of the recent asian tsunami disaster... everyday, on the front page of The Straits Times, we only see an increasing figure of those who have lost their lives in this unfortunate event... even several hundred Singaporeans are not spared either, as more than 200 are still missing.. although ths disaster only lasted for hours, it will take years to rebuild what was lost in an instant.. homes, families and lives wrecked forever.. i hope we keep them in our prayers every night.. and i hope we learn to treasure everyone even more...

I love you, Atlanta!
