My new year's countdown wasn't spectacular. I don't really like crowds anyway. So after having dinner with my parents and their friends at Jurong Country Club, i went back home to play wii with malik and chao (again)... hahaha. It was a nice, cosy, funny session. We turned on the TV just before midnight to see the countdown... and after it was done, one of the hosts was in the crowd asking the people about their resolutions. One particular guy made a fool of himself. this is how it went:
Host: alright i'm here with some crazy people in the crowd. let me ask them... (turns to person next to him)
Guy A: Mohammad Rahimi here!
Host: Sorry?
Guy A: Mohammad Rahimi here!
Host: Alright, cool! (turns to someone else)
Hahahahaha how embarrasing!!! gosh i wouldn't wanna be in his shoes. hahaha what a way to start the new year! Anywayssss so yeah i was thinking about my new year resolutions. There are quite a few i wanna accomplish in 2008...
1) Save the Earth: Now i know global warning and climate change are the 2 most over-used terms of the year.... but it's a serious matter. more serious than the hollywood scriptwriters' guild protests that resulted in a premature conclusion of Heroes season 2.
So here's what i'm gonna do to play my part. I'm gonna use the re-usable bags when i go grocery shopping. if u think about it, how many plastic bags are used by just one trip to the supermarket? 5, maybe? then the next time u go there u use another 5. Why not just use one re-usable bag? If everyone uses it, it would be a HUGE benefit to the environment.
Next i'm gonna reduce the usage of my air-conditioning. I'm an addict to sleeping with the air-con switched on. So i'm gonna change. I'm only gonna switch it on if it's just too darn warm. Also, it's proven that sleeping too often with air-conditioning is bad for your lungs. so yeah. Kill 2 stones with one bird. (?) hmmm.
2) I'm gonna start being nicer to my dog, Chloe. Looking at it, she doesn't have much longer to live. She's been coughing and having several seizures. She's been with me for 12 - 13 years. I want her final moments with me to be good.
3) Learn something new: like a language (preferably Japanese), musical instrument (my guitar which i regret neglecting for some time), or sport (probably wakeboarding or something cheaper)
4) Read more: Books, newspapers, magazines, comics. There's just so much to know about our world in such a short time!
5) Be a better person. Cos the only thing perfect about me, is my eyesight. Heh. Nobody can be perfect. Doesn't mean they shouldn't try. haha. Oh well, tt's abt it. This is the year that my life will change... and i hope it's for the better! Happy new year to all my friends! love u guys much!
