move it people! crazy person rolling-through!

Writing a new year's resolution on the 3rd week of January seems late, but since I'm in Singapore, my new year will start on the 7th (or 8th) of February. (Chinese new year, that is) So technically, this post is way early! (see, there's always a good reason for being late for something!... just make sure you use the word "technically" to make it sound valid... and smart!)

For the past years, there have been several "to-do lists" for the new year. But this year, for brevity's sake (coupled with the all-too-usual laziness to write) my resolution is simply this: "to dare to do things I have never done before"

As early as I can recall, I've always been comfortably playing on the "safe-side" of things. And as much as I hate to admit it, I'm one hell of a boring person!

Ok, let me rephrase that, I'm an awfully mentally-deranged "interesting" person, living a terribly boring life.

Seriously, my idea of fun on a weekend is staying at home, watching movies on TV while laying on the sofa and eating delivered food...Yes, yawn if you must, i will take no offense...

But a new year is coming, and therefore, the forces of nature (and peer-pressure) dictate that I do something different with my life! So, in light of this new mantra I will live by, I had this insane daring idea last week to buy this:




I know, i know, I should have included a disclaimer like "dare to do things I've never done before, provided that it will not cause bodily harm and earthquakes", but then again, where's the fun in that?!

wow! 2008 na?!?!

I don't know about you, but isn't it surreal that we're actually living in the year 2008??? Sometimes I find it really hard to believe because it sounds so "futuristic"... hehehe...

When I was a kid, whenever I hear the year 20something, I imagine flying cars, aliens, and all those cool stuff you see in the Jetsons cartoon. But now that I'm actually here in year 20something, all i see are weird people... I'm not so sure if they count as aliens...

Ever feel like time passed by and you didn't even notice? I get that a lot! For example when someone tells me that a certain event happened on the year 1998, i usually think it's just a recent event, but when I think about it hard enough (thanks to my high-speed math skills ), OMG! it's been almost 10years already?!!

All these ramblings lead me to one final conclusion... damn! I'M OLD!!! (yes, as usual, it's all about ME!!!)

Anyways, before I rant any further: Happy New Year, my fellow old people...
You're old! (and most probably weird as well) admit it! (yes, i like sharing my misery)
