Happy Lunar New Year to my chinese and buddhist friends. And happy holidays to all.
I hope no merrymakers are greeted with a melancholic and sombre mood. The global recession may be a downcast for many affected. Still, when it is time to revel in the festivities, come on in out of the rain and savor the good times. Cast all worries, problems and sorrows aside for a moment and get in tune with the celebrations. It's a frigid attempt but if you can't be happy, try not to make the person next to you feel rotten and subjecting them to a samilar treatment. Don't spoil the broth, pal.
I guess the chinese calendar of 2009 being the year of the ox is somehow a dogma that states 'the ox is supposedly a hardworking animal, treading the pastures and reap good produce for farmers'. It emphasize on the need to remain diligent in the face of the economic downturn and the rewards will be in abundance if one's energy and hard work are invested in his career.
I have not quite feel the pinch of the recession. Apart from segregating needs and wants with conscientious effort, i had come to a conclusion of deviating from exuberant spending, buying what i only need and embedding this mantra - if it is still good for use, don't throw it away. Every luxury items that i desired to own (car, x-box360, psp slim, a touch screen phone, etc.) are already in possession and the wanting now is - to meet the extravagance taste that i have - designer goods that is. That can wait for now. When i get back into the job market and scale my new career, i will certainly go on a spree and indulge in John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, Moschino and the works. I need a messenger bag badly.
I need to go get a life from here on. I am fixated with the pc, been burying my big head in my textbooks, go for classes, have sinful late night supper with family and friends and routinely go for nightly runs. It's a desolate life. How i wish i could go meet new people. Or find out things that i can be good at without me knowing it. Or drive the whole of Singapore and understanding the roads without getting lost for once (getting from Pasir Ris to Bedok can reduce me to a crybaby). Or maybe stab random people on the crotch with Bobbi Brown eye pencils in the streets and making a dash for it. Or steal a cabby's phone and run off with it. Or try setting some prominent figure on fire. Or finding out how many of the 400 plus contacts that i have have actually retain their given numbers without me calling and getting response of obselete numbers?
Whatever floats my boat. Have a wonderful monday. The only monday that is wonderful for once. I am going to rob my neighbour's kumquats at the corridor and pressing on doorbells and disappearing. Baa.
