It has only been about 72 hours into the new year and yet it has started differently than most others. 2005 slipped off in a rather quiet manner with some of my closest friends – New Year eve’s dinner was street-side chicken rice (I had Italian gourmet once); then it was into a smoke-free Irish pub –side note: ain’t that an oxymoron - (no carousing along the streets); then it was down to the beach for 15 minutes of countdown (no sparklers) and finally back at the hawker stores (no cab problems) again.
No hang over on the first day of the new year. I even managed to have a rather harmonious lunch with my family of four at a steak restaurant – 6 weeks of steak craving finally quieted. Did a bit of personal grooming and I think this advertisement applies pretty well to me now.
If you have to know, my hair is also a dark tinge of purple too!
Ran ~an hour on the second day of 2006 – it was a good run to the beach and it rained again. The rest of the day was filled with distractions. Unhealthy but enjoyable – like other vices in life to be taken in moderation and caution.
In a very non-usual manner, no new year resolutions have been set yet. There are some things which I would like to complete in one way or another. Perhaps that’s why we have another (Chinese) New Year coming up in 3 weeks time for procrastinators, like myself, to straighten out the rest of the year again.
Goodbye 2005 – though it has been eventful and fulfilling year, I am glad to be done with it finally.
On a side note, I would like to declare that relationships are complicated businesses. We ought to be married at birth. This would leave us as healthier and more functional adults now so that we are able to focus on winning the next Nobel peace prize or whatever else it takes to save the world.
