Tonight marked the end of 2008 and the start of 2009 and I can't help but wonder how it went by so fast. As I solemnly gaze out the window into the foggy night,I feel like I have achieved nothing apart from getting this scholarship. When I saw the fireworks I can't help but feel a bit sad at how unsatisfying 2008 has been. I haven't done anything of note, still don't have a girlfriend and etc etc you get me. As we were watching the new year celebrations on the TV my colleague pointed out how pointless celebrating the new year is, I silently disagreed as I think it's the mark of a new beginning, a chance to improve oneself for the better and the hope of seeing another year. It's a strange feeling you know, spending raya, b'days and new year away from home. Bah I should stop my silly ramblings.
Oh I had one of those funny weird awkward elevator moments tonight, I was going going up in the elevator and was joined by 3 girls and a guy who were obviously drunk (there was a new year party at the hotel)
One of the girls : When does china celebrate it's new year? (smiles)
Me : Oh I'm not chinese ( I get this a lot)
same girl : So when's the chinese new year?
Me : ( Realising the futility of this conversation) Oh I'm guessing sooner because china's time is faster than here
the lady to her friends: hear that ? the chinese celebrate earlier!
At this point sampai udah floor dorang, the girl stroked my chin, wished me a happy new year and said love you guys hahaha.
So anyway I just want to wish you guys happy new year, and I hope 2009 will be kind for all of us and may your resolutions come to fruition *hackspit* . Think of it as a new start, hmm that sounds nice doesn't it? maybe I need one of those.
I doubt you'll be hearing from me again so adios, goodbye and most of all.......thank you.
