Don't Look Back In Anger

Oasis's "Don't Look Back In Anger" probably inspired me to write this blog. It has been 5 days since the New Year and 2005 is really gone for good. As you all have read my previous posts (if), you guys might have concluded that I hated 2005. Yes. I still do. But I think I have learned to come to terms with 2005. "Don't Look Back In Anger".

How ironic it was when December 31st of 2005, it was indeed a significant day. It was the day that made me realise that I should not enter the new year (2006) with discontentment and anger. It's a new year, ain't it? New year brings along new hopes and resolutions. Hence, I wondered why I should carry the 'luggages of the 2005' for 2006, only to suffer when I could just throw it away. True enough. Decemeber the 31st was the Day of Redemption...for me that is. Haha

Issues that were unsettled were discussed and settled ( I used the word 'settle' twice already in this sentence. Not that my vocabulary is limited but I couldn't think of another word :P). For the first time in a long time (again), I felt so relieved. It almost felt like a huge weight was lifted from me (cliché, I know). Things are now clearer between me and that person and I was glad. Very glad. Both of us came clean with our issues and now everything is back to normal :) Sweet.

Then came 2006. I just got a job as a waiter. Boy Oh boy, I didn't know what I got myself into. Being a waiter does not look easy as one might think. Everything has to be in order, in stirct detail and precision. Yes. True. Uhuh. I'm a perfectionist myself but being a waiter just meant that I have to be perfect in being a perfect waiter. Even arranging the fork and spoon has special coordinates on the the table. My boss expects every waiter to see an invisible grid on the table.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed my first day as a waiter. I learnt a lot from my workmates and gained a lot from working with them. So I guess I will enjoy my work here. I think there's still a lot for me to learn. Let's just hope that when 2007 comes, I won't look back in anger.
