2008

Howdy friends! It's been sometime since I blogged eh? Ok, yea yea, it has been really a long time since I last posted my blog. Been real busy and yea gotta admit a little lazy. What can you expect? It's the vacations and I have been working as well, at my bar during the Christmas period wearing the geeky 'Santa' hat where I received lots of smiling feedbacks from customers. Christmas was actually monotonous for me this year where I actually fall ill. Yea again! Damn my immune system was really dead in 2007 and I gotta admit the truth. I don't recall how many pills I have consumed. So much so I got pretty afraid I became a 'drug' addict. To tell you the truth, I despised taking those damn pills. I hardly get sick and 2007 was the worst . My body just malfunctioned.

Anyway 2007 is gone! And now is Jan 1st 2008 and HAPPY NEW YEAR people. This is my year. Yea you got that right. It's the year of the rat in the Chinese calender. 2007 was quite bad actually eh? Had lots of natural disasters, basically lots of earth quakes and not to mention the death rate which tolled up to a freaking amount. Let's hope 2008 will be good and people listen up. You make the 2008!:)

One of my resolutions for 2008 is meeting new people and making more friends. No, not just the females.. Haha.. But also the males. Making a friend is not easy for some people I must admit and I use to be one of the coy people where I hardly make the first move to speak with an unknown stranger. They say "Do not Speak with strangers." The thing is if I do not speak with an unknown person, how do I make a friend? Odd eh? Now let me change the phrase. "Speak with an unknown person and make a friend every single day!" Making new friends is like buying new clothes. The only difference is new clothes would bore a person after wearing it for countless times but friends never. Friends are like special siblings. They are the one we pour our shit out. Not even our family knows all our stuff but friends do. So have a goal everyday. "When I get out of the house, I need to speak with an unknown person." It don't have to be with a 'real' unknown person. It can be the hawker centre lady, the petrol kiosk man who fills up your tank, the newspaper lady or anyone where you can strike a simple conversation like "Hey how's it going?" or "Hi, how's your day?" Tell you the truth. It is said in a study that people appreciate another person who actually cares about asking how their day was or striking any small talk. We are humans. We need to constantly communicate and show love and concern.

Speaking about love and concern, try to show them everyday. When your mum cooks something for you, even if it's a simple dish, tell her it's awesome and you love it. Even when she's at her negative mood, she'll morph to a positive mood. When your dad comes back from work, ask him how's his day was. Even it was a bad day, he'll feel good you ask him and he'll definitely tell you because you care about asking him. It's a simple chore but we humans mostly avoid doing it. Don't do it just to your family. Do it to everyone around you. Maybe some people will go, "Dude, you gotta be practical man." Yea, I know it may not sound practical but I wanna try. I wanna make people happy. I ain't saying I would not get a bad day but bad days never come everyday. If someone is happy, it makes me happy and if it is because of me the opposite party starts smiling and laughing, I'll be even more glad. Though one claims with money happiness can be bought, but I never support that phrase. Materialistic happiness is never lasting one. It's more like a 'cheap' thrill. I wanna real happiness where I can feel the vibe through my body hopefully every single day. That is what real happiness is about. So people make your 2008 and useful and and worthy one. Cheers!
