the year in review



If you could bend time-space continuum and travel through time like Hiro Nakamura from Heroes; or supposing you had in possession a ultimate time travelling mumbo jumbo vehicle like Marty and Doc from the Back to the Future series, what would you tell yourself who was living one year ago from now? Better still, what advice would you give to him/her?

2009 is just around the corner. I swear it was just yesterday when i was shouting 'banzai' to everyone at a particular party and griefing over MC's demise. Barely a year on, the world has changed. Firstly and most importantly, the editors have decided to come clean and let out all the skeletons in the closet (take a deep breath, editor) ... well, let's just say it hasnt been easy all these years holding it up and putting up false fronts as eligible bachelors ( return me my house dvds or i will expose our r/s).

But seriously, the past year has not been easy for many. Natural disasters around the world have taken lives and properties away like how i snatch candies from the little kindergarten kids who live around my neighbourhood. Remember the tears you shed when you watched self sacrificing parents who risked all they had to save their children from the earthquake in Wenchuan? Remember how you cursed and sweared when the leaders refused to accept international aid after Nargis revealed its devilish face? When the going gets tough, put yourself in their shoes and i assure you, life would be smooth sailing. i urge you, never forget how they feel when they lose everything ( and i mean EVERYTHING) they have ever hoped for in their lives.

and now the economic crisis is taking its toil on the entire world, who can be spared from its destructive claws ? (well maybe the people from Bhutan and i mean it in a good way just in case of backlash from my Bhutan fans) Let's just pray that all the bailouts will go smoothly and confidence will gradually grow.

let's just take a moment and think of all the poor souls who have suffered one way or another in this hell of a year. (detractors please, stop saying its just life, i will pull your head apart)

lest you think your editor has swallowed two pailful of depressants and is thinking of following the path of his most respected Chinese artiste, Mr Leslie Cheung (no, its not hui ge), here are some silver linings for himself.

well.

errrrrrrrrrrr.

not that i can think of any at this particular point in time. but does having this wonderful blog with colorful pictures of weird people and artistes count? oh boy.

at least 2 apparently imbecile 'leaders of the world' are going to/already gone.

before i end off, here's a song from John and here's wishing all fans around the world a truly merry christmas, and a happy new year. Let's hope the 'war' will end soon.





So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
