Time flies by so quickly. As one reflects on the year, it becomes clear that there are things one wished one has done, and silly mistakes one wished one has not committed. Yet, as time flows without stopping....forward, unto the shapeless future ahead, there is nothing but reflection, for no change can be brought unto a decision that has already been executed.
Precisely because of the fact that we can't change the past, we need to reflect. It has been a quiet transition into the new year...quietly slipping as the seconds dripped by, and without really realising, nor really caring, 2008 came to an end, and 2009 begins. It has become less imminent, the sense of time...at least, for now it matters not to me what time of the day or what day of the week it is. But soon, I shall have to return to the world where time moves at a pace where things flash by, a world where time is a commidity, scarce as it is.
Life moved sluggishly for me this past week, yet the time disappears quickly without my realisation. As 2008 came to a close, the year...long, inconsistent, full of events...yet strangely with not much memory of it. Strange, the concept of time is such that one year is not long, yet it seems to me so far away that I wonder if it was not a few years ago... Stranger still my inability to remember most part of the year...or perhaps, life was not of such significance till now...at least, not it my memory.
The new year has come, signalling the advent of a decade. And as I prepare to fall back into life as a student, I wonder....how will I be changed by this year?
