And so it has come to the end of 2006, once again, its time when most of us will reflect on what we had done for the past year and make new resolutions for the coming year, which we may end up not accomplishing, and then the cycle repeats itself at the end of 2007... Sounds very pessimistic eh?

But hor, I dun quite understand the point of counting down to the new year lei... its jus another day mah... the only significance is maybe you get to write the date starting from 01 Jan all over again with the suffix of 07 instead of 06...

Typically people will start planning how to celebrate new year's eve, which usually includes either one or all the following:
1) Having dinner with friends (which you can do any other time as well)
2) Maybe catch a movie and/or go bowling and/or play pool and/or sing ktv and/or clubbing and/or having BBQ at a chalet (which again you can do any other time as well)
3) At the 11.55pm, people will start pouring booze and waiting for the countdown
4) At the stroke of mid-night, wish everybody in sight Happy New Year, possibly with some kissing and some hugging admist fireworks, depending on which part of S'pore you are in
5) Then the magic is gone almost instantly and its just another day (maybe not just another day but just another public holiday)


I can't even be bothered with coming up with resolutions anymore... Why can't people just decide on what they wanna do and just do it (pardon the Nike slogan cliche) instead of writing them down in some little notebook which will end up being chucked away in some corner to collect dusk anyway?
