2008

2008 sounds like a movie title. after all there were the "300" and the "2046", why not 2008? haha...

what will it be like, if ur 2008 is filled with interesting characters and hot steamy hotel scenes? haha... or what if ur 2008 is filled with gore and blood? will that make u filled with more enthusiasm for the yr of 2008? maybe...maybe...

otherwise, i bet lots of us will be thinking... 2008 will be yet another yr of increasing pollution, more talks of inflation and rise in oil prices, etc. the monkeys in bt timah will continue to thrive, tigers in china will still face the risk of extinction and there will still be pple jumping onto the mrt tracks. whatelse can be new?! a heaven shaking, earth splitting discovery in the cure for AIDS or cancer?! or having an actor/ actress taking up political post in the government?..ops... that already happened isn't it? Pres.Regan and Governer Schwarzenegger are great examples. hmm... the earth is round, so everything is possible, yes?

what do u intend to do for 2008?
->shed that love-handles? (aiyo... they had been with u for so long, can u truly bear to throw them out of the window just like that? =P)
->adopt a 3rd world country kid and contribute to his/her study fund by mailing US$5 every month to ensure his/her well being? (wow! that's noble! hopefully that will indeed make the world a better place to be in)
->sign up as a grassroot leader in ur community to give back to the society? (he..loo... r u sure, its really not to gain a better chance for ur kid to get into that 'dream' primary school?)

ops... it seems like i have plenty to say for all those possibilities. such a wet blanket, right? before u think of wringing my neck for being such an idiot, have mercy! lets all take a deep breath, close our eyes and think of those brightly coloured pretty flowers of the spring. imagine that crispy smell of newly mowed lawn and the smell of rain. giggling sound of those toddlers in the park and the taste of juicy tangerines bursting in ur mouth! not to mention the soft, smooth, rosy, perky cheeks of a newborn. hmm.... aren't these simple tiny details the reason why life is worth the living? =)

so to all my dear friends and blog-hoppers... HAVE A GREAT 2008!! may u give thanks to every moment of ur breath.
