Hello all! Once again it's a New Year again. Maybe the last one we'll ever see if some predictions come true about the world ending in the 1990's? Another time to think about times past and times ahead. It doesn't really seem that long ago that I was reminiscing about growing up and turning 21 and all that jazz. Yet... it seems that we've been through a year already! Before we even realise it, we could be 6-feet under (or in the case of Singapore, 6-stories up?).
Gotta admit though, in this has been a pretty awakening year for me. What with going back to school and making new friends (a term I use loosely), life is a changing, as apparently is my grammar as I read what I just said. I guess I've always viewed the world through rose-coloured glasses, a believer in the do unto others as you would want others to do unto you. Well, as I've been slowly finding out, that doesn't really work when the 'others' don't follow the same philosophy. I guess old friends are still the best (and sometimes I have to think only) friends.
It really saddens me to know that there are people out there that put on a fake facade not for any other reason than to hurt and betray others. Well, I guess it's still live and learn then. Little did I come to realise how prophetic it would be when I said that turning 21 would be a "wake up call" (8th February 1998).
What's new in the Temple now, I hear you asking. After so long, what else could the Caretaker have put in? Well, glory be and hallelujah (no offence to the religious ones), everything has been updated! Most obviously probably would be to the #Trawlers Enclave with the addition of the #Trawlers Stats courtesy of wacko and the update of Enclave members. More extensively, but not as obvious would be the hundreds of links that have been added to Enlightenment over the last few months. Membership to the The Inner Circle is ever expanding thanks to the new conscription policy enforced. One of my personal favourites has got to be the latest contribution to the Thinking Room by the Temple Healer... Heh... Sorry buddy! 8) Sometimes I have to think it could be true though...
Well, maybe what people say about being alone and depending on no one but yourself? What do you think? There has never been a point of time greater than now, that I wish I had siblings...
Me, Myself and I
