Looking Back ...

How many of us can remember how exactly we spent 2006? Every single day of it?

I can only recall the "bigger events" - the completion of "Stripe on 69th", making it to NATPE Festival, it being selected for Australian International Film Festival, some birthdays of family and close friends, some work which involved some known personalities and an old friend who recently passed away.

But to dismiss 2006 as unexciting would make me the biggest ingrate of all! Because I did experience some wonderful moments and get to meet some really good people. And they have all added a lot of value to my life and make me very rich.

Thank you 2006 and all the wonderful people who have come with it!

A Good Way to Read

My buddy Melly and I have made a pact to try and read some of each other's favorite books. So she's going start "Crime and Punishment", a book I've been telling her about for a long time, while I've already begun "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte. Melly has read that book years ago and still calls it her all time favorite.

I have only made it to chapter five. Yet, I have a good feeling I will finish it. I like the style of writing and it's been a while I read a book with such refine English - "This is certainly, a beautiful country! In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society.", "... looking, meantime, in my face so sourly that I charitably conjectured he must have need of divine aid to digest his dinner..."

Momentum of Doing Things

Old skills never really go away even if you hadn't used it for a while. They always come back naturally. Be it riding a bicycle or drawing ... I hope ...
