What have you been doing in the first morning of year 2008? I didn't do anything spectacular. I just slept through the morning, waking up only at 1045am. 2008 or 2007, what's the difference?
To me, 2008 or 2007 doesn't make much of a difference. It is just merely a change of numbers on our calenders, our watches, our computers, our computer OS, clocks... As the rest of the world immerse themselves in an atmosphere of partying and drinking, I choose to be alone. The solitude of oneself expecting the new year can be very therapeutic. It is a good start to a new year ahead. I foresee a tough year ahead.
Humans are contradictory. Why give so much emphasis to a change in year when days, hours, minutes, seconds of time are wasted away, sitting in front of the TV doing nothing? I myself am guilty of such unproductivity. It just took me a few minutes of my life to realise how much have been wasted in 2007. I am making sure that doesn't happen in 2008. Such discrimination against time shouldn't be happening. We should be treating every second of our life precious because time well spent is a life well planned. What do you plan to do with your life? Where do you see yourself few years down the road? Procrastinate no more, get up and live a life with a purpose. Don't be a CO2 producing being, at least don't let that CO2 just contribute to global warming. Make sure that when the earth becomes warmer because of you, you are at least giving something back in return, something useful.
If you ask me, I am so looking forward to 2009. It is a year where I'll start realising my dream. So much to do yet so much left undone. Make do with me 2008. If you ask me what's the difference is 2008 from 2007, I would say the difference is YOU...
