On Making A Difference

seeing that i'll be attaining mid 20s status (oh the anguish!) in a few days, i think its abt time i set out some changes to:

a) make myself a better person
b) alter my current stagnancy and
c) save the earth

i noe that in a previous entry i said i'll reflect on year 2007, but wat the heck, 2007 is over and done with. if there's anything worth mentioning its that im left wishing time would move abit slower. ok, back to the topic. my resolutions.

• land myself a REAL job. one that keeps me fully occupied with work and one that requires lots and lots of overtime. fat paycheck included pls.
• be kind to children. ALL children.
• be bothered abt things that concern ppl who are dear to me. things like their bdays, work, mental and physical health.
• keep up with current affairs. buying sat papers for the recruit section doesnt count. watching half of the 9.30 evening news on mon while waiting for Heroes to start doesnt count either.
• eat more fruits with vitamin C. my perpetual cold and need for tissue is killing the trees.
• find activities to bring some energy into my life. going for a 草蜢 concert will do for someone who could scream along even by watching them on dvd.
• read extensively. magazines, biographies, novels, classics, etc. resolving to read everything by dean koontz isnt enough.
• find a male slave (sex not necessary). bringing joy to myself qualifies for (a) i think.
• surround myself with positive tots and ppl. like how eating cheesy/creamy pasta will not go to the thighs. instead, satisfying a craving brought abt by mood swings makes one a happier person. and laughing burns calories.
• pick up new skills. like cooking and first aid. yes, in that sequence.

so there. after completing this list, im pretty sure i'll be able to keep them. well, at least one of them.

Jacky Cheung World Tour Encore 2008

have been looking forward to this since i got my tickets. i had wanted to hear more of him after having went for his last concert in july. (i think that was wat sparked my craze for canto oldies to the point of no return. hah.) but as i was telling xf, i had a nagging feeling that this time round he would be singing more mandarin songs, which was the case, much to my disappointment. and unlike the last time, he conversed with the audience in mandarin too. though i love everything abt the man (ok, except his supposedly popular hit 吻别), the jokes would have been funnier in cantonese. and another major major disappointment for me was that he didnt sing 李香兰! me and my fren were so looking forward to hearing it live again lor :( but ok lah, he compensated it with other songs like 遥远的她，月半弯，蓝雨，离开以后, 只想一生跟你走 which i so love too.

and as told by the man himself, in his 23 year career, he's released over 70 albums, sung over 1000 songs and held over 500 concerts. some statistics there huh? its little wonder why he's considered the god of songs. but, i quote, even though he's hailed as the god, he's just human. cos towards the end of his 2nd last song, his voice cracked (but only slightly!) though a tad embarrassing, he was still able to make a joke out of it. but you couldnt really fault him lah, it was the 93rd concert of his world tour, even God himself would have been exhausted. and as expected, he ended the concert with 祝福. although the concert lasted for abt 4hrs, i was surprised it was ending already. somehow, it would have been more complete with 李香兰. sigh.

i didnt want to tok abt this intially since it was sth i really couldnt be bothered with anymore. but 2 in a row is quite interesting. im thinking how to elucidate this. ok, its kinda like 2 ppl i knew had, at the same time, chose to turn pissy abt things i could not (or bothered to) fathom and shut me out completely. fine that they would want to turn unreasonable on me when i hadnt done anything to offend. i dun hold it against them cos i have done it too. all the time, in fact. but the difference here is how do one accept an apology when no offense was taken? i dun believe i was bitter, no. just plainly, i no longer could give a damn abt wat they tot. but things dun end off like that, do they? cos just as sudden as they were pissified, they come round knocking on my door. at the same time. again. is this just sheer coincidence or sth else, like a conspiracy? unlikely i noe. but one thing's for sure, im not abt to go find out.

// today is jan 4. 5 jan 4s since. and i still find myself staring at strangers who bears some resemblance.

古巨基

first post for 2008 and its yet another video. hah. not that im running out of things to write abt, in fact there's quite abit, like x'mas, jayden's bday party, reflections for 2007... but all tt has got to wait, trying to get photos lah. so before that, here's wat im listening to at the moment. (not that u care, i noe)

it seems that my taste in music is 'backtracking', from the 90's to the 80's now. gee, i totally love the 1st 3 songs, esp 情義兩心堅. am digging for it, hope my mum have it in one of her dustcovered boxes.
