A new year is upon us and just like that 2006 is but another year gone by.

First joke of 2007:

We’re all sitting outside in Barath’s porch for a New Year do, midnight-ish and the mosquitoes are having a field day with us. James, kills one, drops it on table. Glances at Barath nervously.

Barath: Why la?

James: Can drop on the floor ah? (Barath’s a bit… buh-jiggity)

All: Loud laughter

Barath: Sure can la..what la..

Feli: Tengok tengok after you drop, quietly he’ll creep in with a small broom and penyodok and sweep the nyamuk up.

All: Louder laughter

Barath: (disagrees vehemently) WHERE GOT? I DON’T HAVE LA MINI BROOM ALL..

(few minutes elapse)

Bryan: OMG WHAT IS THAT?

(cue visual)

This was hanging on the gate. Zooming in:

I know this is self-explanatory but lo and behold I think this is, WAIT!, it IS a mini broom and attached dustpan!!!

All: Laughter that would not quit for the next ten minutes causing massive eruptions throughout the course of the evening.

(end)

Sorry Barath, I had to share this..we still love you but this is too good to pass up (hugs)

On other news I turned 21 in 2006. Being 21 I wear my symbolic key with pride - a constant reminder that having held out as long as I have I can finally claim all those adult privileges. Trust is hardest to earn and easiest to lose, I can only thank my parents who have deemed me worthy enough of their trust to give me my "freedom" (air quotes are courtesy of the limits awarded by that freedom). 

2007 is doubtless going to be one of the hardest of my life. I graduate at the end of this year but getting there is going to be another story. A looong hard frustrating one.

Gaining my "adulthood" at 21 also means that I am soon going to be In My Twenties and thus in a few years it will soon be time to talk about Settling Down and the M word. A word I abhore by the way..it will just remind me more of the fact that I am not ready to think about things like that when my only favourite M word is MTV and Monkey (a word which incidentally I use too much). Haih, I wish I can go back to when I was five and my biggest problem was…actually, at five, nothing much used to bug me. Then, my favourite M word was Milo..still is actually =)

Funny how we spend most of our lives waiting to grow up and when it finally comes down to it, all we wanna do is go back to the playground and get our hands muddy, get wet in the rain and get scolded by our grandmothers for taping over her favourite Tamil gospel songs with monologues about how much we liked chicken curry (ahem, Joshua).

Nonetheless, reality comes around knocking really hard sometimes and what else can we do but screw up our courage and answer. We’re all gonne have to eventually. Might as well enjoy it while we can. I’ll leave you with a few choice pics from my Xmas Boxing Day thingie.

Till then I bid you most humbly, adieu.
