The new comes as the old goes
It’s the first day of 2005! If a new year comes in a material way I imagine a package weighing 365kg of cards greeting you under your pillow the moment you wake up with dates on it and indication whether it is a good or bad day on every day… perhaps something that goes:
1st January 2005
It’s a wicked day. Try getting out and there’ll be a monkey awaiting at your gate getting ready to chomp a bite of yummy you!
To de-wicked your day, chomp a piece of your brother before you step out. Or at least his girlfriend? Oh well, whatever… “Do unto others, before others do unto you”. In this way, your pig brother is the right choice! After that, expect the whole day of extraordinary fun!
Fantastic ay? And when it is…
1st April 2005
You are going to stain your favourite white skirt! Nope! APRIL FOOL!
You are about to win a lottery! Doink! It’s APRIL FOOL!
Your favourite guy’s gonna give you a big bear hug! Gotcha! It’s Apr-r-r-r-r-il Foool, you foooool! Stop looking distraught and go out and play!
You are going to be fooled whole day out! This is the only truth…
Interesting ay? Oh, of course I cannot expect everyday a good day. At any random day,
3rd May 2005
Expect lots of mushrooms today. Not on your dinner plate tho’. More likely on your head, armpits and toes. In other words, it’s a rotten day! You have nothing to do, you can’t think of something to do, and nobody’s gonna invite you to do anything! Just stay curly under your blanket and proceed to 4th May 2005 obediently.
How bout that? If only…
New year eve was tame. At least for me. I thought that if I was to celebrate it with booze and overdose myself with fun and laughter I could do that any other time of the year. I do not need a 31st December to get all drunk with euphoria or laugh out loud like there’s no tomorrow. I always have maximum fun with Chia Yee, Tim, Carrie, Khar Yan, Adeline, David, Yiming, Weipz, Sew, Jin, Jay, my housemates, the kids I babysitted, and the list goes on…
Oh well, 365 dates of 2004 have gone for tho’. Here comes a whole 365 repeated dates with a new year tag! As I’ve reflected the old year, I remember Tim told me I laugh too much, David and Sheau Ing said I have contagious and infectious laughter, Trissha said I laugh too long, Weipz said I get amused too easily. I reckon that if there was a laugh-o-meter, I’d probably break it! Pharmy Teoh here is gonna put a 2005 resolution to cut down on my laughter. Oh, and be more diligent… more disciplined too! Grr… for every hour I play, I need to study for 1.5 hours. Oh kay… let’s not be overambitious. 2005! I’m all set!
