It's the New Year 2008!

I bet this year there will be another baby boom..especially among the Chinese. They like the number 8 too much. Oh well, at least its not 666 so it should be OK.

This year, well I thought I better embark on new things. Think less of myself and more of others...like my family, my friends, my colleagues, maybe even strangers.

On the stranger bit, my cousin-bro-in-law (what a mouthfull-title) happened to mention the other day about some TV adverts concerning strangers. The adverts used to be about good Samaritans helping others in need, be courteous to strangers, show our smile, our famous Malaysian warmth,etc. Now, the adverts are about "be very wary of strangers"..don't talk to them if you don't know them, don't smile, don't help if they ask for directions. What is happening to our society? Is it because the world is coming and mingling with our society?

I guess, it is better to be careful than sorry.

Back to my aim to do something new this year....mmm, its hard to imagine what I should do. After so many years of new year resolutions (mostly get repeated every year) not materialising, I am stopping the list and just go with the flow this year. I hope that thought counts as a "new" thing.

Its been a quiet day today. Except the news from Nickie that her Coffee died. Poor woman. Hope she gets over it quickly. Maybe a new puppy to cheer her up?
