Manchester United vs. Arsenal

This weekend we have Manchester United vs. Arsenal. It is no doubt the biggest match of this week. So big that it will be the world's first live telecast of 3D TV sports broadcast presented by Sky Sports in England. It is also so big that I can't be bothered with Liverpool this week

One of the fiercest rivalries in the Premier League, Man U-Arsenal clashes have always been a good choice of entertainment if you are looking for violence on TV. From the era of Vieria and Keane to the current batch, the midfield battle has always been explosive

This time, it will still be Manchester United having the upper hand in midfield. Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick and Co. will hassle and tackle to nullify the Gunners' captain, Cesc Fabregas. Stop him and Arsenal's attacking threat will be halved

If this happens, then the responsibility of scoring will be on Andrei Arshavin to take up. Don't count on Nicklas Bendtner to do it even though he's a striker. Arshavin will give the United defence line a hard time if being deployed on the wing

However, the battle by the touchline will also be dominated by the Red Devils. Wingers like Antonio Valencia and Nani will outstretch Arsenal's full-backs. Not to mention the legendary Ryan Giggs. The only good news that the Gunners have to console themselves is that Cristiano Ronaldo has left

In a whole, the only thing Arsenal has as an advantage is that the match is played at their stadium. Wayne Rooney will give every Arsenal player some problems. Giggs will show his younger opponents what real football is. Michael Owen, if he gets to play, should show that he is still an Arsenal jinx after many years

But I am going for Arsenal. It will be hard but it is not impossible. 2:1 to Arsenal

Lah

I don't know about you but recently I heard some rumours and decided to share them with you. Please do not assume that what I said is true because they are just rumours. Check out the dictionary if you don't know what a rumour is. It is something like the relationship of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Of course, I am not going to gossip about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. What I heard was about Singapore and.....Malaysia! After numerous attacks on churches following the saga on whether Muslims are the only ones who can use the word "Allah" for God, it has been said that Singapore is banned from using the word "lah"

Both countries speak broken English as their official language, Singapore calls it Singlish while Malaysia names it Manglish, although their governments always deny so. Now Malaysia said that the word "lah", a common word in Singlish, belongs to their language

Previously, Malaysia had claimed that food such as chilli crab and chicken rice originated from it which offended many Singaporeans

It issued the statement via a spokesman few days ago. This was what the spokesman said, according to rumours "Singapore even our language also want to snatch lah, see lah we have to resort to such move again lah, is not we want one lah"

If this is true, then Singaporeans in Malaysia like that sure liao, lah!

It's just a rumour as what I said

50 dollar

I had a fifty dollar note in my wallet today. Well, it has been in my wallet for a few days already just that I had no choice but to use it today to have some smaller notes. It is because all the other smaller notes like two and five dollars were spent away for the past few days

I wanted to use it to pay my lunch but Zhiteng decided to pay for me first together with his since he had a ten dollar. So the fifty dollar was still safe and sound lying in my wallet. Then I thought of using it to buy drinks. Zhiteng said he had a two dollar note so we agreed to use it. Still safe and sound

Then I walked to the pastry stall and thought of buying a snack but everything except two stale-looking popiahs was gone. At that point, I really thought of donating the fifty dollars to the Haiti earthquake victims but I didn't know where can I do it

In the end, while I was walking home, I decided to stop over at the Myanmar provision shop near my block and bought a packet of Hello Panda biscuits. The Burmese woman tending the shop looked a bit shocked when I pulled the blue note out

Never mind, at least I managed to get some ten, five and two dollar notes through the change and the Hello Panda was delicious

Ok I am going to update about my life now to satisfy you kaypoh people. Actually, there isn't really anything exciting to talk about too. Don't blame me for giving this reason. Take a look at Mediacorp, they are broadcasting foreign shows from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea every now and then. Why? It is because they also have no idea what programmes to produce except food and lifestyle

Anyway, do continue to visit this blog because some of my very very very interesting/sarcastic posts will be coming really really really soon. And to satisfy all of you really kaypoh readers (you can stop here if you think you're not kaypoh), I shall give a sneak preview

Handicapped toilets. Sounds dull and impossible to write something interesting about them? I will prove you wrong. Also, there will be more boomz content in this blog as I indirectly backstab more people whom I know to create the needed atmosphere. There will also be a once a week post where I comment or rather take a dig on the different kinds of blogs of people like your friends

Bye

World Cup

One billion. That is the amount of money one needs to fork out if he wants to telecast the 2010 World Cup in tiny little Singapore. Singtel and Starhub joined forces but failed the mission. Mediacorp surprising joined the chase. The Football Association of Singapore stepped in to help by negotiating with Fifa. Government intervention is also on the cards

Before a single match is even broadcasted, football fans could already taste a bit of action from this telecast rights saga. Currently, Singapore can only count on FAS to resolve the matter. The reasons given would be that a small nation which is hosting this year's Youth Olympics should receive a better deal

I think the main reason why Fifa priced such an expensive amount for the broadcast rights is because it noticed the EPL telecast war between both telecom giants months back. It saw that both companies were financially strong hence, thought that a higher price should suit Singapore

Fifa doesn't understand that watching the World Cup every four years is not just about the sake of watching, it's about passion and the joy of watching the beautiful game.

CNY decor

As Chinese New Year is approaching, I am thinking whether should I ornament this blog with some decor and add some dong dong chiang music to it. What do you think? Please give your comments. And what kind of design should I embellish?

Thanks in advance

Together

The last episode of the drama Together (当我们同在一起) was aired on Monday. After watching all 36 episodes of this show on Channel 8, I can safely say that it is a decent one. Not only did it brought back old memories to the older generation, it also taught the younger generation moral values and lessons about life through the main characters. It can even become a topic for Chinese literature in schools

For example, the cowardliness of Yao Wuji (Zhang Zhen Huan) and naiveness of Tarzan (Elvin Ng) are just a couple of things which we can see and learn from. Not asking you to be a coward of course

Wuji is an introvert who has no ambition. Because of his timidness, he is frequently teased by people whether in front of or behind him. There was one scene where he was given a cake from Jinhao (Eelyn Kok) but didn't manage to eat it because Jinhao's mother stopped him as he did not pay

He was too afraid to do anything and hence walked away sadly. Back at his book store, he realized that if one is brave, there is nothing to fear of. He plucked up his courage and returned to the coffee shop and asked Jinhao for another piece of cake. The latter felt awkward but gave him another piece

Her mother, again, spotted Wuji eating the cake and reiterated by scolding him for the second time. He shouted at her back in return that he wanted to eat it and it was given by Jinhao. Shocked at his unusual "burst" of reaction, she was speechless. Jinhao smiled at him

It is all just a little courage that one needs when doing something that seems tedious or impossible. There is nothing to be scared of in this world, the braver you are, the more the number of people who will admire you

Lin Xiaobei (Dai Yangtian) is a complete opposite of Wuji. A daredevil who is eloquent and has big ambitions, he was the centre of attention of the other three females. The smartest among the six main characters, he is always the leader and problem-solver

Xiaobei's best buddy, Tarzan, was also a brave soul like him. However, he is naive thus often easily influenced by others. He gives up easily when doing things

This shows us that one must be determined in order to succeed. Like the saying goes, pain is temporary, glory is forever. Tarzan is a good example of what one will become if one easily gives in to setbacks. After 30 years old, he hasn't accomplished anything meaningful in his life

Yao Jianhong (Jeanette Aw) acts as the unimportant yet indispensable role in this story. The most realistic and calm, she was been the fire hose which put out numerous flames throughout the drama. A forgiving and understanding person, she was well-liked except that her dance hostess background tainted her image

She is entangled in a love triangle with Tarzan and Xiaobei but only has her eyes on the latter. She married to Tarzan for ten years in the later part of the story but Tarzan never managed to win her heart

Xiaobei still ended up with Jianhong at the end of the story presenting the fact that some things just cannot be changed in life no matter how hard one tries to. Just like what I always say, with attachment comes commitment, without attachment, one does not feel the need to be committed

Qin Huimin (Kola Zhou) was a scholar and the cleverest in terms of academics compared to her five friends. Huimin comprehended the fact that some things cannot be changed in life, hence, despite falling in love with Xiaobei, she attempted to bring him and Jianhong together

By doing so, she became a happier person blessed with more good fortune. She started her own law firm after university and lived a comfortable life. Although, she still clung on to a glimmer of hope when she found Xiaobei after ten years, she realized that it was useless and let him go in the end

In contrast, Jinhao, who also liked Xiaobei never failed in letting everyone know her love for him. She tried deceiving herself and everyone that Xiaobei was hers. Naive like her brother Tarzan, she was frequently cheated and had to have someone to save her at the eleventh hour

She got into trouble and suffered a ill fate in the later part of the story. Also, her vanity caused her a lot of problems and misunderstandings. She was very particular about her looks. One's physical appearance is not everything. Huimin is a very good example

Actually, if the scriptwriter could emphasize more on the part of how Huimin managed to do well in her studies-like what study methods she used, the show would have been even better

Hope to see more shows like Together from Mediacorp

Fax Machine

Things that might become extinct by 2020 Part One

Step into a time capsule and go back to year 2000 when people were still celebrating the new millennium. Ten years ago, the pager was still alive and part of many people's lives. Ten years later, you will get laughed at for mentioning this telecomm device

The pager has long been forgotten, along with those big, black and bulky television sets. So what are some things that will no longer exist in ten years’ time? This is the list which I have come up with

Fax machine

Also known as the facsimile machine, it virtually transfers documents to another party via the use of technology. The advantage of using one over long distances is that it saves time compared to post. However, with the presence of email, a fax machine looks redundant

To fax a document, you will have to print it out first. This means doing two things when you can just do one by using email. Also, the quality is inconsistent resulting in blurred words or images

Fax machines are a waste of time and not environmentally friendly. Please be gone by the next ten years. Good riddance

If only we could fax money, food, water or even humans. Then the fax machine deserves to continue living in this world

To be continued...

Pool or Piano

Should I learn to play pool or the piano?

If I learn pool, I might get addicted to it and sacrifice my beloved basketball and football for it. If I learn the piano, I might end up being a philosopher and lose the sanguine side of myself

Well, if I play pool, I can get to socialize with more people especially the fun kind of people. These group of people tend to be more independent compared to their peers. I do not mean that people who know how to play the sport are independent. Wait, is pool even considered a sport?

Sports like pool and bowling tests you more on your accuracy than your speed and movement. You can easily win over an on-looker's heart if you perform some swift and deft moves whether it is eight-ball, nine ball or straight

Holding a standard 58.5 inches cue with both hands, bending over the table and closing one eye to take a shot, and make sure you shoot it in. Doesn't it look so erm, you know, cool?

On to the piano. Is eighteen years old a bit to late/old to learn it? I mean, take a look at Yamaha or other music centres. The students there are usually primary school kids who only know about WII

If I were to step into a class, will I look strange? But, playing the piano is also such a cool thing, isn't it?

Maybe I will choose both but I will learn them some other day

The next big Asian country

Who would be next big Asian country of the decade?

In the 1990's, Japan dominated the world, or at least the East. From Panasonic to Daimaru, Toyota to Nintendo, there is no stopping of new Japanese brands popping out every now and then

Even as early as the 80's, there were already significant signs of the booming Japanese economy. The land of the rising sun sort of took the tag as the linchpin of Asia

The Japanese post-war economic miracle is still a well-known historical success. The Ministry of Trade and Industry together with America's investment significantly boosted the economy after World War II

To date, the economy of Japan is still the runner-up, after America in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). When people think of Asia they will think of Japan, I mean twenty years ago

In the first decade of the new millennium, the People's Republic of China rose

It contributes to one-sixth of the world's population, spans more than nine million square kilometres and made the rest of the world start learning its official language

The People's Liberation Army, with 2.3 million troops, is the world's largest military. This is not strange since the country is home to 1.3 billion people

China's economy stands at third behind America and Japan. Its nominal GDP has increased since the early 90's and has since tripled in less than fifteen years. It participates actively in the world market which started the spark that led to a firework

So who's the next big thing?

How about India? One of the core countries that make up Southern Asia, it is the second most populous nation at 1.1 billion people

India's economy is the fourth largest by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). Since 1990, with the aid of economic reforms, India has become one of the fastest growing economies in the world

In 2003, Goldman Sachs predicted that the land of IT experts will become the third largest economy in the world by 2035, surpassing Germany, Russia and Japan in terms of GDP

With a Prime Minister as smart as Manmohan Singh, there is no reason why India cannot be a worthy challenger to America or China as the next big thing, and I'm talking about the world

Asia has about 4 billion people which amounts to 60% of the world's human population, is the biggest continent on the globe, has the largest economy in terms of PPP, has the highest number of Phd holders and many many more

But America, with a much smaller population and land area will still be the world number one, at least for the next decade

14 Jan

I spent eight hours of my life today doing Adobe Flash. Give me a break, I'll be back tomorrow. I went to the school's new Hilltop library yesterday. Shall not elaborate much because you won't get the idea too if you are not an SP student. In short, it has two floors, the ground level is full of books stacked on shelves while the second level is just an empty social space with a few tables for people to erm, socialize? The whole library is even smaller than a John Little departmental store

Mouse

My mouse is dying soon. I plugged it into one of my laptop's USB ports during lesson yesterday and it didn't work. I tried it at night and did work but only managed to last for ten minutes

There goes Lanny, she's off to retirement. Sam the calculator will be waiting for her in my drawer aka the old folks home for my belongings

Never mind, I have a backup mouse and her name is Rachel because she is red in colour...

SP Open House

SP Open House ended last week with a blast but I still have a few questions about it lingering in my mind. I really feel like asking the management these questions and (naively) hope that they can give me honest replies

Where did the money used for organizing the event came from?

Why is SP's goodie bag so exceptionally better than the other polytechnics? Some gimmick huh?

What the heck is Spinnovex for when the white-shirt-with-a-necktie students are just blockheads standing at their booths looking at the visitors?

Shouldn't they be doing something like showcasing their projects to visitors?

No? Then please tear down that balloon which Spinnovex is held in, what a waste of precious space

Why are classrooms used for exhibition purposes without informing the students and lecturers? There's seriously something corked up with the management

Why is the school re-painted and cleaned up thoroughly only when there's an Open House?

Which idiot's decision was it to place a big signboard at the stairs between the third and fourth level at block T14 which only left half the space for people to walk?

Why are those nice-looking robots brought out for display only during an Open House every year? Old-fashioned already lah

May I sincerely ask where did the money came from which was used for the free food and drinks that resulted in a long queue of kiasu youngsters?

Why did SP sound like Zouk with all those ear-blasting songs?

Why must students "on duty" wear white shirts with a necktie? Looks so fake and pretentious

Why don't just stop lessons during the Open House period? Then I won't be complaining here

Anyway, kudos to all schoolmates who helped out during the Open House

Whether you're a white shirt idiot, a tour guide, a final year student showcasing your project, the magnanimous one who allowed a secondary school boy to queue in front of you for the free floss candy or the noble one who let a visitor use the urinal first in the toilet. Well done guys!

Ok, guess which one was me. I'll give you a hint, it's the most noble one

Games

If you know me well enough, you should be aware that I am not really the typical youngster who is into computer gaming. If you know inside out, you should understand that I will share any good thing that I know of with everyone. Today, I am going to share with you not one, but two computer games

Torchlight



This is a RPG (role-playing game) developed by the people who brought you the popular Diablo. If you ever played Diablo (whichever version), you will find that Torchlight is rather similar to it. The dungeon crawl concept will surely remind Diablo players of the hit game

The main objective of the game is to go deeper and deeper in the dungeon and eventually face the big bad guy. Although Torchlight has a poor plot, its cool graphics and action-packed scenes have compensated for it

There are three character classes which include the combative Destroyer, versatile Vanquisher and magical Alchemist. It has received mainly positive reviews from websites. It achieved a score of 84 on Metacritic

The main reason why I recommended this game is because of its price at $19.95USD. The game can be downloaded from its website at www.torchlightgame.com. After which, the user does not need an internet connection while playing the game

On 5 January, a Windows retail box version was released but I am not sure if it has hit our local shops yet. One thing for sure is that, my recommendation is worth trying out

P.S. I have never played Diablo in my life before


Entropia Universe



The second game is sort of opposite from the first one. Torchlight requires you to fork out money whereas Entropia Universe, an online game, can make you earn real money. Yes, you didn't read it wrongly, it's real money!

The whole and only purpose of playing this game is to earn real money by redeeming them with in-game currency at a fixed exchange rate of 1 USD = 10 PED. If you starting to get excited now, let me tell you something first. I tried installing the game and after more than one hour, only five percent was installed

Of course, I closed the installation just like what any other human being with a normal brain would do. Anyway, back to money matters, the minimum withdrawal amount is 1000 PED or 100 USD

To summarize the gameplay, it is like Sims City just that you are living on a planet named Calypso. Minerals, cities, tools are all part of the game. Gamers take up the roles of colonists and live (or play) on the planet

One worthy news of note was that on 14 December 2009, someone bought the Crystal Palace Space Station at 3.3 million PED which is equivalent to 330000 USD. You can visit Wikipedia for more information about the game

So if your mum nags at you not to play too much games and use the time to do something else more productive, you have a reason for telling her that you are earning money. Just that you have to be a pro at gaming first to earn it

Hope my recommendations for today were positive to you

TV Mobile

There goes TV Mobile for good. Good riddance. Many people cheered about it when the news first broke out. Peace will finally be restored in SBS Transit buses

For me, my impression of this mobile TV service is repetitive commercials and Just For Laugh gags. It all started off in early 2000 with much enthusiasm from commuters but the excitement has since died down

With the emergence of iPhones, PSPs, Nintendo DS, who still needs a TV showing old Channel 8 dramas to keep himself entertained on the bus?

On a screen that is even smaller than the size of my big head, how will passengers at the back be able to see clearly? Also, the sound system has never failed in being a failure let alone the poor reception which results in laggy shows

Maybe Mediacorp thinks that it has earned enough from the advertisement fees over the years so they decided to make TV Mobile go into history

Now, you can, at last, enjoy a bus ride in peace. And there is a gigantic screen on your left/right (depending on where you sit) which plays the scenery outside the bus as the vehicle moves

7 Jan

For the past two days, I got pawned by the stall owners from the foodcourts in my school

Yesterday I ordered a plate of chicken rice and gave the uncle a fifty dollar note. That was the only note I had in my wallet anyway. I think he was not too pleased but did not show it in his facial expression. He returned me the forty-plus change which includes ten and two dollar notes

When I took the notes out from my wallet at night, they were all so oily. My hands and wallet all became greasy from those slimy notes. Disgusting right? The uncle must have had decided to take his revenge by returning me these notes. Seriously, I feel like throwing them away. Sibeh gross

As for today I ordered wanton mee from the newly opened stall which seem to be the only stall in the foodcourt that has nobody patronising it. I pitied them and sympathy got the better of me. I requested for extra noodle with the auntie

I gave her a ten dollar note, one of those greasy ones which I got from the chicken rice, and she returned me 4 two dollar notes. Although I know that extra noodles should cost an extra fifty cents, I decided to act blur. Then the auntie told me "yours got add noodle right? must pay extra fifty cents" so I gave it to her

Extra my head. The noodles where got extra? No change at all. I got scammed man. I was so stupid, I should have just told her that there was no "add" at all and ask her to return me back the fifty cents. Stupid noodle stall. I curse you close down in one month's time, get fined by NEA for poor hygiene and make an overall loss in your business

I'm done with ranting. Iran defeated Singapore 3:1 last night and I lost three dollars to Melvin. Ok here's another rant

Sighs...Avramovic should just get the sack and replace him with me. You see? Avramovic sticked with his own stupid tactics from the start before making some changes midway through the match in an attempt to turn the tables around. The tactics which he changed to were similar to mine

Might as well employ me as the coach, at least I can get the right tactics right from the start of the match. Most importantly, I am a true blue Singaporean with a pink IC

Singapore vs. Iran

How can Singapore defeat Iran?

Singapore will take on Iran at the National Stadium in a Asian Cup qualifier game tomorrow. Iran are the powerhouses of Asia whereas Singapore are the underdogs, maybe not even qualified as an underdog

Anyway, underdogs and undercats aside, the three time Asian Cup winners still stand a chance of losing against the Lions. It will not be easy but I believe that our national team can do it

Judging from the two friendly matches played against Oman last week which resulted in a goalless draw and a 1:4 hammering, Singapore looks doomed against an even stronger opponent. Raddy Avramovic looked as though he had just lost ten thousand dollars at a casino during the embarrassing 1:4 match

The current national team has a whole lot of strikers for Avramovic to play. If only he can stop using the slow and unproductive Aleksandar Duric. If only he knows that Indra as the captain should play more often (the only other football captain who hardly plays is Manchester United's Gary Neville). If only I was the coach...

Maybe an attacking formation like 4-2-4 will suit the Lions since the squad does not really possess any good side midfielders. The two most advanced forwards would be the Malay duo of Indra and Noh Alam Shah flanked by the improving Fazrul Nawaz and tricky Khairul Amri

The two central fellows will be Mustafic Fahrudin and the young Hariss Harun. The latter is really one player you should watch. As a holding midfielder, he is definitely better than Liverpool's Lousy Lucas. John Wilkinson should be relegated to the bench. He is better off as a rugby player

Then we have Shaiful Esah, the left-footed wing-back, who takes free kicks with such class. Singapore will be relying on set-pieces taken by Shaiful to score against Iran. I am sure about that. The problem is, if Shaiful is unavailable, then who is his deputy?

Iran will most likely dominate the game but with Hariss as the anchor, Singapore fans can afford not to be worried. I predict a 1:0 win for Singapore although I reckon that it is quite impossible

Can I just go and fill in the job application form for the national team coach? Raddy's face will definitely look as though he had really lost ten thousand dollars

4 Jan

To sum up the first working/schooling day of year 2010 in Singapore, I can only use one word to describe it-Interesting

For school students who have to be present in school by 7.30am (I assume most schools have this rule), this morning was definitely a sweet-dream-turned-nightmare experience

It was raining heavily at dawn. People say that the best time to sleep is during a downpour. Unfortunately, the weather scheduled this period at a time where people are supposed to wake up. Of all days since the school holidays started, it happened today, in the morning

Never mind, you finally managed to force yourself out of bed, brush your teeth, wash up, eat breakfast, do some last minute packing of your bag and leave your house. Then you realized that an umbrella was the missing thing which you needed

First day of school, wearing your new white shoes and stepping into puddles of water while holding the umbrella. Is this an ominous sign? Chey, touch wood...

On to myself, got back my Maths paper today during lesson and I am happy that I did pretty well for it. I am not going to post how much I got since I foresee that people will say that I am hao lian

Ate fishball meepok for lunch during noon, not much difference before and after eating it. The only significant difference was that there was two dollars less in my wallet. When I reached home, I straight away ransacked the kitchen and swallowed some biscuits

Called Calvin Siak just now but nobody answered the call. I wanted to ask him if he could spare some time and meet the WTS option people to discuss about our FYP. I believe that a face to face discussion would be more desirable for both parties. The Facebook group created by him is half-dead already after just two days of action

Gonna have a debate with him if I get to see him personally

New Year Resolution

I am not sure about you but I dislike new year resolutions. However, for the sake of your entertainment (since you're at this blog), I have decided to make one. But don't expect a nice-looking one because as what I had mentioned, I dislike new year resolutions

First of all, I wish that the world would be peaceful and safe forever. This one is never going to happen, you and I know it deep down in our hearts. If this wish really came true, then the police and army can start planning for a career change

We cannot take things for granted. We cannot assume that a noob terrorist who can't even bomb a plane, hurt himself in the process and got caught by other passengers while doing it will exist in the future

So how should we solve this problem? If I know, I wouldn't be writing something to entertain you now

Secondly, I hope that the earth would be cleaner and greener. People like American Todd Stern and China's He Yafei should not be shooting invisible arrows via their mouths at each other every other day during a conference

People should be united as one as every one of us is part of this planet and we have a part to play in keeping it green so we should....Ok damn it, these are all nonsense

Like the first one, this one will never happen too

Thirdly, there are too many foreigners in my country so I hope that the government will do something that will appease me. Maybe my millionaire ministers should take a walk in the public and see how many China (we shall just stick to China) people can they see/hear/smell

Foreigners foreigners go away
come again some other day
we are sick of all of you
no no please don't ever come again

Sadly, this one will definitely not happen, again

Number four would be to make new friends. The definition of "friend" is too profound and abstract to explain using the English language. I will need to import all my knowledge and experience to be able to tell you one percent of it

Yes, this one is more realistic, it can happen. But how?

Lastly, as I am starting to feel tired, is to make countless amounts of money. Don't be a copycat, I know what you are thinking, you want have this in your new year resolution too

I told you that it won't look nice since new year resolutions all are bullshit

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!!

Sounds cliche? Well, everybody is saying the same thing so saying it now is definitely alright. Actually, it's just another new day for me, how about you?
