Goodbye 2010; Hello 2011!! :)

And... here I am again :) Disappeared since August something 2010, and popped up in 2011 :) Pardon pardon, but the latter part of last year was just too exciting, and consequently, too busy, which is why I'm only able to blog now :)

2010 was an awesome year :) Apart from having two ticketed concerts ("No Explanation - Alex Wang Live" and "Christmas with Alex Wang") and a huge ticketed musical ("Believe"), empathy.productions also did very well :) Praise the Lord! :)

My 2011 started rather uneventfully :) I must admit that I didn't feel its arrival much; it just was :) Nothing wrong with that; wasn't expecting anything really :)

I'm really glad to have marked the first week of 2011 with the writing of songs :) Due to my hectic schedule, I didn't manage to write very much at all in 2010 (with the exception of those featured in "Believe"!) :)

Thankfully, I haven't lost my touch :) I don't take my songwriting for granted; on the contrary, I take it very seriously, and am so glad that I haven't lost it :) Whether the songs are nice or not, I'll leave it to you (if it ever gets released, that is!) :)

2011 isn't all wonderful, but then, life seldom is :) Received some news that rather caught me by surprise. Perhaps I should have (or did) see it coming; again, I'm amazed at how we are able to see/hear only what we want to...

Not going to go into the details here, but I'll admit to being somewhat upset by this. I'm not sure if it's my ego, or the suddenness of it (probably a combination of the two)...

I think that when we care for any one person, we put a little (or a lot) of our emotional well-being in their hands. And sometimes, they don't handle it very well on our behalf. Vice versa hold true, which reminds me of one of my favourite phrases: The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Despite acting out of the very best of intentions, and with the very best interests, sometimes, the results are not satisfactory. In such a situation, I'll say "At least the intentions were good". Certainly, a fallible human being, fully capable of making mistakes, cannot be expected to do perfectly correct actions at all times. However, having the "best intentions" surely helps to reduce the sting a little :)

Perhaps I'm trying to comfort myself... I don't know. I hope I receive a satisfactory conclusion to this episode soon; I dislike mysterious circumstances.

Regardless, I am very thankful for making it into 2011 :) My Heavenly Father and my Lord Jesus have been very very good to me in 2010, and knowing Them, they have plenty more good things in store for me in 2011 :)

So here's to you: May your 2011 be the year where you find true joy and peace :)

Shalom!
