does anyone even know what is the meaning of 'Auld Lang Syne'? i dun. for so many years in my life, i've known this song, sung it (the hentam asal bunyik version), hum it and once i was even selected to play this song with a flute when i was in primary school during one of our teachers' retirement. i think i can still play the song smoothly today. but never have i known the real lyrics or the meaning of 'Auld Lang Syne'. i didn't even realise the title was not english. but this year.. somehow i got curious and googled it. got my answer. turns out 'Auld Lang Syne' translates from old Scottish dialect to 'Old Long Ago' or for non-Shakespear english user like me.. it means 'Days Gone By' or 'Good Old Days'. something like that. it is a poem about love and friendship in the past. about embracing them as we move forward. interesting huh. nice to know.
so a brand new year. somehow i feel nervous about it this time. like something big is gonna happen.. or not gonna happen.. or will stop happening.. or will never happen again. i dunno. but there's something. i could feel it.
as 2008 closed, i've closed a few chapters in my life with it. i know.. closing is never the nicest or mature thing to do but at times, it seems to be the only way. i certainly didnt feel good about it. but at least i felt relieved. relieved that now that they're locked for me to feel anything about, i can finally move on. harder or easier. but it'll all get better in time. insya Allah :)
resolutions.. hm guess it doesn't apply to me. coz it never happens! i'll forget after like three nights. except for once. my birthday resolution that i would stop biting nails. that was the ONLY one that came true. and was rather miraculous actually. i mean.. i've had that nail biting habit since i have teeth i guess and all of a sudden, i woke up one morning and felt so gross about it. like someone just slapped me and put some senses in my head. dun really know what happened there. but hell, it worked! i guess we can do anything afterall if we put our minds into it. so i have no resolutions this year. except maybe i wanna be a stronger person. no. i command myself to be stronger. coz life gets tougher when u get older.
and speaking of the devil.. yah, another year older this year. i'll officially be a quarter of century old in a few months! can i scream? i wanna scream.
