Marching in the last month of the year

Time flashes past. "flashes" is more appropriate with the element of light, unless there is something that travels faster than the speed of light? "flies" is truly an understatement.

The dragonflies fly around jus above the water surface with their occassional tip tapping on the water. The ripples tho disrupt the calmness temporarily, somehow seem to be orchestrating in harmony. N this scene repeats over n over again. Like the months pass by in the touch n go manner.

Read an article previously, 3 cynical views on life. It says: each life follows a predictable, weary course which ends in tragedy.

The 7 ages are helpless infant; whinin schoolboy; passionate lover; valiant soldier; respectable citizen; doddering senior; expiring old man. From jaques.

At 10, an animal; at 20, a lunatic; at 30, a failure; at 40, a fraud; at 50, a criminal. A japanese proverb.

Unthinkable childhood; gung-ho adolescence; disillusioned adulthood; hypocritical middleage; dishonest old age. From the writer.

Shrugs. Thats life. Then you dont even need to have your future told. If u were given a chance on a time machine n only allowed to press a button once, would u pick the forward orthe backward button?

Like friday, December seems like the happiest month of the year, despite the rain and the cold. The xmas decorations lighted up the city and the xmas carols lift the spirits of many. Frm memories, i always spend this season in town. The closest being returning on the eve. Memories are always fun n sweet. Thanksgiving parade in nyc with the many pretty big floats(wow); snow fighting at tyne mouth(ouch!); multiple snow angels making in tampere(flapflap); running in the snow in santa village(brrr); eating tall icecream in taipei(where's my tongue?); walking around watching hot breaths coming out from our mouths in the xiamen valley(puffpuff). Will be great to bring all this back home, but nothing beats the laughters and chatters when frens n family gather and cuddle together in cosy homes. Even for the foam party down orchard road when all become frens.

Welcome 十二月!
