the most anticipated holidays is almost here. new year. new beginnings.... or is it another year to make resolutions u cant keep, make the same mistakes u made the year before? It seems like only yesterday when we were worrying about Y2k... and now it's 10 years later.... 3650 days. geez. that seems like a lifetime itself.

10 years ago:
1. we were concerned about the millenium bug, planes and computers crashing at the stroke of midnite
2. taxi's starting price was still $2.40 and it jumps at increments of 10cents.... and there were only blue, yellow, black and the occasional white smrt cabs to choose from.
3. GST was probably still 3%
4. handphones were getting smaller and smaller. but now it just seems like the trend's going the opposite way
5. i was worrying about my O level grades
6. there wasnt 9/11 yet and bush was still president
7. Goh Chok Tong was still prime minister
8. using ICQ was da bomb.... the HORROR
9. no one knows what uploading or downloading meant
10. i was still hanging out at parkway like its the hippest place on earth
11. Britney and NSYNC were the biggest shits in music
12. No one has ever heard of reality tv
13. Channel 5 was still showing sitcoms on tv..... like FRIENDS
14. Tiger woods was still pre "trangressions"
15. i was still a virgin

hahaha ok la no 15 still true unfortunately. dammit. so what has changed since then..... eh. pretty much nothing. i'm still.... me. more cynical. more world weary...... slightly richer with slightly less hair with slightly bigger stomach than before. let's just hope 2010 will be better for everyone and i'll be happier... one can only hope. ABS here i come....i know u are lurking somewhere down there. PLEASE COME OUT.

ok bye.
