Screw New Year Resolutions
Every New Year comes and goes.
"The year passed by so quickly!?"
Your standard New Year comment. No need for resolutions, I do what I like, anytime, anywhere. WE can change whenever we want to. So, screw it.

Friendship and the Christmas
Ah, how wonderful friendship is.
How sweet it tastes, how strong it is to hold you together.
How comfy it is for you to fall back on.
How convenient when you need it.
Late chillout sessions, even later heart-to-heart talks.
Boozing a little, playing lame games for the sake of fun, laughter, peace and joy.
Chilling at dark places, dim lights. What a great place just to lay back, play some jazz on the stereo, and do major catch up.
2007 was wonderful, but I guess each year has its highlights.
2008 here I come.

Primary School Days.
So yesterday was the best gathering of the year. 6-1, 2002. Great job weiqing. So dinner was at sakura but it was still okay.
Most of us spent the time laughing at the past and the stupid stuff we did back in the day. Great to see Mrs Tan and Mr Ee there, though, and the rest. At around 10plus we headed out for a class picture but Yumei's not uploading it yet so i'll do it when she does too, haha. Got a little booze from cheers courtesy of Hsingshen.
And then the rest left. There was Me, Jackson, Lucas, Welsonn, Chuping, Wayne, Yumei, Sophia and Qinyu. Headed over to Yumei's and all that I can tell you that its a really great hangout spot. Cards, Mahjong. Her brother joined us in a little and he was hilarious. Teh games were real fun and extreme!
Soph and Qinyu left early, what a bummer. So the rest of us left at around 3plus for simpang, and then we left there bloated.
Again, I hardly blog about my daily in and outs but yesterday could be summed up in a word.
fabulous.
The chats, the hanging out were good enough.

Juicy Gossip
Okay, there's this notion that girls like to gossip. I disagree. Some guys can do, too. Even better at times.
Gossip comes from a source. The source seems identical to a big fat juicy orange. The more you squeeze, the more you get. But whats the point? You enjoy it once, and thats it. Why be bothered by such mundane issues when we have better things to do in life? Let me retract my statement. Maybe some people do not have better things then do than gossip, huh.
Don't we have our own problems to care about? Why bother indulging on the latest shit on someone else? Let's try to put ourselves in order before telling someone else, or standing up for them. I'm not saying its a sin but, what I'm trying to say is, you don't do certain stuff where everyone can see you. Thats plain stupid.
Take a look at this analogy. Hardly anyone steals under a surveillance camera, right? No one goes to the toilet keeping their cubicle door open. In short, don't wash your dirty linen in public.
What enjoyment do we get from all these?
"Oh look! So and so just got a new pink car!"
"Man, her guy's ugly like my dog"
I really have no idea. Events will come to pass. We don't achieve a higher standard of living just by bitching everyday. But I guess some of us have to, just to let off a little steam. Instead we should think of what we want to do, our ideas, something that will last long. Without action, ideas are just fantasies that remain. It's stupid and obvious. To achieve our dreams, we must take the first step. It is about now, not what has gone.
You don't tell people what to do; instead we should work together and see what we can do.

What keeps us going?
I walked into the maternity ward which was decked in vanilla white paint. Behind the glass were rows of babies identified by serial numbers. They were either wrapped in baby blue, pink towels. All at rest, sleeping peacefully. And all of them looked the same.
Then I was at the cemetery. Rows of graves were popping out like mushrooms over a plain. It was so dead quiet, literally. Some were well maintained, others had weed grown over it and the others were sinking into the ground. All of them looked the same, except for one. It read:
"Here lays a man who lived his life for others. Although he was not the brightest among the rest, he always gave his all to people around him. He was a successful businessman, doting father, loving husband, filial son and a loyal friend." The rest of the words seemed to be eroded by the rain.
Maybe that whats I want mine to read. What's yours?
What do we live for, what keeps us going? For money, and the things it can do. When we were younger, we lived for the fun everyday with our childhood friends. A little older, we go day by day just for that piece of paper that puts us into secondary education. And then, we work for another piece. And another. And another. When it comes to the last piece, you're compared. Compared with all others who have that piece. And then you slog. You work for your promotion, the monthly salary. You build a family. Maybe there's something to live for, after all. Your perfect spouse, so you thought. You have kids. They turn from adorable toddlers to pains in the neck. But you still love them anyway. You keep working, you work to keep the food on the table, for your kid's future. You have to make sure your retired mom and dad don't go hungry too. Oblivious to you, your kids are following the same route you've taken. You retire, they take your responsibility. Soon enough, you're gone.
What does this mean? What do we actually live for? Today? I don't know. I'm just taking a day at a time, and see what good tomorrow has in store for me. I'll keep finding whats to live for, whats going to be in store, whats good for me, tomorrow.
