That’s it. Yet another month has passed.

Thanks to Teli, from Mild Insanity for participating.

Scary sh1t just happened just now. It’s only now that I’m starting to feel the jitters. I think I really need to get my priorities straight. What is really important to me right now. What do I really want to do.

Anyway, that’s enough of ranting for now. My mind isn’t exactly thinking straight right now. Besides, it’s free for friday yet again. In case you don’t know, it’s your once a month chance to post something in my blog.

Suggested topics for this month:

• What’s the scariest thing which has happened to you lately. Maybe one of the scarier ones, if you’ve been scared numerous times.
• What are you most afraid of?
• What is the one thing that you cannot live without? Do you feel lost if you happened to leave your mobile phone at home? Do you suffer from withdrawal symptoms if you can’t check your e-mail? What is it?
• Anything else that happens to be on your mind at the moment.

That’s it. Another month has passed.

Thanks to Muggs for participating.

I’m bored! Nothing like participating in your own Free for all Friday! Ok, maybe there hasn’t been many participants lately. Still …

1. My biggest regret so far is … not being able to look ahead. I’m always looking back towards the past, be it the recent past, or old history. Fact is, I may be looking ahead, but half my attention is directed towards the back. It’s good in a way, to look back at the past, but only if it’s in retrospect and where some learning points can be derived from it. Otherwise, it’s just a not productive, and much less healthy, to keep doing it. Maybe it’s because I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s just so dim, and it’s so much easier looking back and seeing the bright light of the past, despite the fact that it’s only imaginery. I guess I have to start to get used to feeling my way around in the dark.
2. the best thing that has happened to me – friends. That’s what keeps me going right now. It has been, ever since my polytechnic days, and I’m very glad that it hasn’t changed since. The old friends and the new friends. Everyone is busy with their own thing nowadays, but whenever we manage to meet up, for celebrations, or catching-up, it’s always a pleasure.
3. Well, in the next 6 months, I hope to see myself in the same job! I want to keep this job for at least more than a year, compared to what I’ve “achieved” before. Besides, I’d say that the work environment is pretty good too. As for the work load, it’s managable right now, so all is well. In the next year, I hope to make another big trip, for 2007. Possible destinations would be South Africa, Mt Kilimanjaru, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan or maybe the Trans-Siberian Railway. Beyond one year? If all goes well and according to plan, I hope to be able to have a new environment, a new life and a new beginning.

Phew, that was long.

Goodness me. I almost forgot about this month’s Free for all Friday. Well, I remembered it, and that’s what matters. If you don’t know what it’s about, Free for all Friday is a once a month time when I open my blog for readers to post their contributions. Sometimes, I would have suggested topics. Other times, it’s just as the name goes – free for all.

The topic for this month:

• Regret – what’s the single greatest regret that you have? Come on, now’s your chance to get it off your chest. If you have several, it’s ok. Just fire away.
• The best thing that has happened to you so far
• What do you hope to achieve in the next 6 months? Year? 5 years?

Take your pick. By all means, answer all three, if you feel like it!

So, it appears to me that not many people are participating in Free for all Friday.

Well, I’ll just see how it goes again next month.

Finally, I’ve remembered / got a chance to run Free for all Friday.

Only problem is, would anyone participate, since I’ve not been running it for quite along time already.

That’s it. The last Free for all Friday has ended.

Thanks to Lewis the OrangedHairedBoy and Irishbreen for participating.

Have a great year ahead.

Christmas has just come and gone. Did you enjoy yourself? I hope so. I know I did. With the coming and going of Christmas, it’s a very prominent signal that year 2005 is fast coming to a close. In just a few blinks of the eye and we’d have entered 2006. Got to remind myself to enter 2006 for the year, and not 2005.

This is also a time for reviewing your new year resolutions for 2005, if you have set any. Did you fulfill them all? Did you in fact set out to at least try and fulfill them in the first place? Well, the year is almost over. No point in mulling over what’s past. It’s time to start setting resolutions for 2006.

Was 2005 a hit for you, or was it a miss? What made it so? Did everything go right for you, or did it not?

What are you hoping for in the new year? More peace and less (terrorists) bombings? More global collaboration against poverty? More cooperation in aiding countries hit by natural disasters? These have been the hot topics of 2005. It’s anyone’s guess what will the hot topics be for 2006.

There you have it. Suggested topics for this last Free for all Friday of 2005. Ah well. It’s the last one for 2005 anyway. If you don’t like the suggested topics, don’t worry, just post away.
