HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006!!!

Friday, December 30th, 2005

Ladies and Gentlemen (and rough ones too…..I’m no bigot), it’s the end of another year 2005……this time is usually used to reflect and remember the good things, the bad things, the right things, the wrong things,…….. in short…….Everything and Anything!!!

Shit! there i go with my stupid ramblings. Anyway, I guess this is a personal time of reflection for most of us (note, i use "most" coz the others would be pissed ass drunk to even reflect how to pee :p) and it’s during this time that we remind ourselves of what we are, who we are, and what we have done so far in our lives. Thus when the reality of the things that we ponder upon starts to set in…….we tend to either:

A- feel disappointed with our lack of achievements OR
B- feel euphoric about what has been accomplished

Then this would bring about the usual "I’m gonna start a New Year’s Resolution…." speech. Honestly, c’mon gimme a freaking break would you?? I have seen and heard many resolutions that were written and commited…..but NEVER completed or accomplished. Most resolutions only work for as long as about a month……..that’s it…….then it’s like "Ahhh, Fuck It….I’ll do it next year lohh…"

There is just no level of commitent from our inner self to even accomplished a single resolution.

So having vented some ramblings on "New Year Resolutions"…..I have one advice.

DON"T START WHAT YOU DON"T INTEND TO FINISH……IT’S NEVER WAS MEANT TO BE EASY

So for this new year’s resolution…….I’m just gonna stick to the basics:

I’m gonna cherish my family even more
I’m gonna make sure my friends know I appreciate them as much as they do of me
I’m gonna eat more healthy…..and gain more weight
I’m gonna start exercising
I WILL quit smoking for GOOD………currently on my 3rd month of ciggie abstinence :D

And the rest are more or lest frugal things in life.

So I’ll sign off here for the end of 2005 and wishing everyone reading this (and not as well) a …………………

WONDERFUL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006!!!

One Now, One Nescafe

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

I’ve been listening to the radio quite a fair bit lately……usually it’s just when I’m in the car driving/parked/stuck in traffic…..but of late I’ve been listening to the radio at home as well.

My favourite station is ofcourse Hitz.fm (92.9FM) because I love the crazy stuff and great DJ antics of The Morning Crew….Rudy & JJ cooks up on radio. They make my mornings so much better and after a session of so called "radio therapy", it never fails to put a smile/laughter on my face.

In short, they are great……..keep it up guys………everyone else……..tuned in and get "Hitzified"……hmmm maybe I shud copyright that term :)

Anyway, as I was saying….I’ve been listening to radio alot lately and there is this particular jingle that I can’t get it out of my mind and it’s kinda driving my gal bit nuts. I hum it, I sing the chorus, I like the slogan, it’s on the radio, on the TV, in the papers, and on billboards……it’s like everywhere. So what is this jingle/slogan that’s so great you asked?

Well, it’s none other that the latest Nescafe jingle with the slogan "One NOW, One NESCAFE". I’m afraid that I can’t remember the lyrics off-hand but it’s really, really, really, cool and has a catchy tune. I’m not sure if any of you share the same sentiments….but hey to each it’s own right?

Anyhow, since I mentioned "catchy tunes"…….I’m sure that all of us have been thru these. If you’re bobbing you’re head up and down…….pat yourself on the back and now think of all the great "tunes" you liked and remember. Funny ain’t it?? It’s like we can remember only some of it…..but we KNOW for sure there were many.

So let’s do this, reply in the comments area on the jingle, slogans, tunes, theme songs that you remember and like. Let’s see how many we can list out.

So get cracking and humming I think.

…….One NOW, One NESCAFE……One NOW, One NESCAFE……

Merry X’mas, Happy New Year & Happy Holidays!!!

Thursday, December 22nd, 2005

It’s the Season Holidays again…….In Malaysia, it’s a great time……we just had Deepavali in Nov together with Hari Raya and now it’s Christmas….time for drinking, laughter, presents, BBQs, Christmas carolling, Jingle Bells, Kissing under the mistletoe, Reindeer (if there were any), Snowballs, Snowman (Yeah, rite…..as if we’ll ever see those here) ……mostly artificial ones…….mostly just being merry and jolly. Also it’s a time to Forgive & Forget.

In my mind, X’mas or any season of holidays is not an excuse for shopping, presents and also merry making……..This should be done all year round……365 or 366 if it’s a leap year.

We should not celebrate X’mas per se…..but rather a celebration of HUMANITY across the world ………although X’mas is a good reason as any as the religion of Christ has the largest of all followers across the globe.

Anyway, I’m sure all will agree with me when I say thank god X’mas falls on a Sunday this year….which makes Monday a HOLIDAY……all together now…..YIPPEEEE!!!

And we all know that the New Year 1st Jan is always a week after X’mas so…….second celebration again………all together again…….YIPPPEEEEE!!!!

Plus this makes last minute X’mas shopping easier to be done on Friday & Saturday. I’m sure most of you by now would have a X’mas celebration or BBQ planned or atleast something planned on Fri or Sat Nite. Remember, drink and be merry as it was always said to bring out the best of people when everyone is intoxicated with Joy & Laughter ;p

As for New Years Eve…..there is so much to do and see……everywhere will be packed (as usual) with throngs of people celebrating 365 days passed and ushering a new beginning for the next 365 days to come. If you’re going out to KL town……be prepared not to go home till next year ;p

A parting note to all:

Drink & be Merry, Joy & Laughter are to be spread…….HOWEVER, DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE!!! WE WANT TO SPREAD JOY NOT CAUSE PAIN & SUFFERING TO OTHERS!!!

Please take heed of my advice………Just this once……at least. THANK YOU

ChEErS & HaPPy HoLiDaYs……………….M3RRy X’m45 + H4pPy N3w Y34R!!!
