But since it is, well, here's wishing everyone a very happy new year and that all your new year resolutions come true!
...but that, you see, is the problem.
A few hours ago, on the 31st of December 2010, I was still fretting about some unfinished work. And now, on the 1st of January 2011, there's still a status quo.
I have, in all honesty, forgotten the meaning of a new year. To me, the only difference is that my calender just went one full circle and is back to displaying "1/1". To all the idealists out there who say a new year equates to a new them, this I ask - why wait till a new year dawns upon us? Change is usually inspired by, well, inspiration. And inspiration comes at any time. You could be about to hit the sack or taking a dump when inspiration hits you like a bolt of lightning. It is sudden, it is random and you sure as hell can't predict when exactly is it going to come.
And while we're still at the topic of inspiration, let's face it, new year's resolution or not, if you get inspired by something, you're gonna experience change.
Thus I wonder, you're still in Singapore, your name's still the same and the sun still rises from the east by the time you wake up tomorrow morning/afternoon/night. So what exactly is so new about this new year?
Just my 2 cents. Have a good one since the new year is still, and will always be, a time to let your hair down and party!
Joyeux Nouvelle Année!
