When the clock strikes 12! It's the beginning of New Year..........
Let's toast to a better year ahead! 2010, here I comeeeee.....!
Did you realise we are already at the end of the first decade of the new millennium?
I remember few days into y2k, there was apprehension somehow or another about y2k, as if great unknown phenomena would befall the world, then we were told the new millennium would 'confuse' computers when the dates rolled from '1999' to '2000', do you remember that? I do, and very well remembered because I just bought a new RM3k recon desktop computer with no-brand name on it, with pirated MS and I've just completed compiling few hundreds pages of my very first journal, 'the journey into the Mendamit river' in Bahasa Malaysia (Malay language).

The y2k effects however, the traits and its so forth did not leave the world scathed at all, here we are at the end of the first decade of y2k already.
After the y2k, once again with the speculation of the 2012 Mayan Prophecies' end of life cycle and the destruction of the world when the pole shifted on solstice 21st December 2012, leaving us 2 years to go till solstice 2012 to seek the Saviour of the soul. Then again have you thought of, if the Noah's ark in the modern way according to Roland Emmerich in '2012' movie was real, would you spend a million to be saved, get the boarding pass to board the ark and go on living on the new world?
Looking into the sky on the eve of y2k at Canada Hill, Miri while the church congregation gathered giving thanks to God that night, I was a person despite of y2k, asked the question what comes after terabyte. Looking forward to another great year ahead and many years to come as I journey on into the new millennium.
As quixotic as I am, born under the sign of earth rooster in Chinese astrology, metaphorically I wanted to sail around the world with a yomkwo raft zither... I have nothing.
I'd had a crappy life and I have a crappy life thinking about moving on without any direction. At the moment that's enough to put a bundle of fear upon me on the first day of new year. When I first introduced my journal blog to the world then feelings were more pronounced, I got the very first comment, 'you have a crappy life.' It was an anonymous with a local internet protocol, then I was ranting about my crappy days after I've moved to Miri and an 'he's just not that into me' that 'love hurt' experience I had. I thought expressing myself through writing woould 'get it out and pour out' after all this is my personal journal space, little did I want to know who cares I have a crappy life. After that comment, I'd avoid every single posting about my crappy life and what I thought of my 'self-absorbed' experience would be on my personal blog again. 2 years have passed since then.
The new chapter begins, bring it on, 2010!
