10 wishes for the new year
hey there.
well, a new year has arrived; 2005 has become history. with it went also my first year in njc ip, which is probably one of the most memorable years in my life. but if i were to go on rambling about the events that happened in the past year, there's no telling when i shall finish. maybe it'll take another year. (and by then i will have another year's account to write about, which will take another year. and the loop continues.) so, no.
that's why ive decided to write about some things i wish to see in this new year. well, they may not all be realised, but i guess by publishing them online, more people might be able to help me realise them. here it is.
in 2006, i wish that:
1. all hypocrites maintain their phony facades, so that they can continue to earn contempt from those who see right through them.
> yeah, it really pisses me off to see hypocrites wearing their fake masks. you are who you are, and dont try to alter your real personality by pretending to be someone else.
2. all attention seekers can get all the negative attention they so much long for.
> damn. so many people are trying desparately to attract attention to themselves. well, let me tell you this. if you wanna be popular, first you need to be make yourself likable. then people will start noticing the great person in you. you don't try to harnass attention from others just by saying or doing things that irritate other people and in the process get them to notice your presense. that way it's just like trying to help the shoot grow by pulling it (拔苗助长).
3. those who are lost may find their way in life.
> well, i notice that many do not have specific goals in their lives. instead they are led almost entirely by the events that are taking place right in front of them. like the NTUC plastic bag that is led to wherever the wind takes it. (rmb the damn lame NTUC commercial? if you dont then never mind..)
4. those who hold grudges may forget them altogether and welcome friendship with the people they used to hate.
> its a new year, and its a new beginning. how abt treating everything negative like they've never happened before and convert your enemies into friends?
5. kwok hong can grow up and play warcraft with me instead of wasting his time on maplestory =D
> wah lau eh kwok hong! so old already still playing stupid games like battleon and maplestory.. aiyo.. i know la it may be quite addictive at first but then later it becomes a real waste of time. dont tell me youre only going to stop when your swordsman becomes level 100 hor!
6. the carefree and playful dudes can get some sense and become more serious in their ways.
> some people just treat life as a joke. they never get down to it. the world's a playground huh? wait until the playground eventually turns into a rubbish compactor. then you'll feel the pressure.
7. the extremely serious and no-nonsense people can relax and become more playful.
> ...while some people dread wasting even a minute of their hectic lives. they fill themselves with so much stress that i reckon one day they might get a nervous breakdown mann. chill, and relax.
8. everyone can forget about the painful incidents of the past and never recall them, unless one wishes to derive lessons from them.
> this message isnt really by me. think it was once said by george washington or someone. yeah but whatever the case, its a very good teaching to bare in mind.
9. some people, including me, can hold their interests in certain things and be less likely to lose them quickly.
> i really lose interest very quickly. once i was so passionate about becoming a councillor. but now, the prospect of running for council doesnt strike me at all. in fact it even sounds absurd. surely you can identify in me more cases of the loss of interest in things. well, i just hope it'll change.
10. i can become more extroverted.
> no need to explain this heh.
