on saura si cette année était bien quand l'année aura fini...

some things i can't stand in daily life:

1. people who will push past you in order to board the bus / get into the train. esp guys. come on, there is space for us all to get into the bus, why must you push past me just so you can board it earlier than me? it's just rude.

2. people who lean onto poles in the train or bus. i totally understand it if you are an elderly person or a young kid who can't balance as well as the rest of us can. but a grown up? who stares at me when they lean on the pole and crush my fingers as though my fingers have inconvenienced their leaning?

3. people who squeeze into an already full lift. goes along with people who move backwards without looking behind to see how their backs are already going to touch my nose. esp since i have an issue with personal space, this is just painful for me. it already takes effort for me to accept that lifts are squeezy and ppl are really close to each other. but come on, do you have to be that close to me?

4. ppl who clip their nails / dig their nose / pick their ears in public. i kid you not, once on a crowded bus, i was standing next to this seated woman who was dressed nicely and.... she was clipping her nails. in the bus!!! with her discarded fingernails flying around! i wanted to tell her off but... i didn't have the guts to create a scene. i really think that anything that results in discarded/dead/unwanted bodily pieces lying around should be done in private. come on are you so busy at home that you have to clip your nails in the bus during the morning rush hour??? how inconsiderate and unhygienic are you?!!

i think all of the above are on par with ppl who don move to the back of the bus / middle of the train. it's just extremely inconsiderate and though it doesn't piss me off badly, it nevertheless frustrates me. unbelievable.

i suppose this is kinda like the obligatory new year post.. hello 2009.. 2008 i will miss you, almost as much as i'm missing 2007. god time really does fly, doesn't it??

anyways.. new yr was a nice quiet affair at hongyi's place where we had a REAL pot luck (ie everyone personally cooked/made something), watched tv (haha) and played citadels and texas hold'em.. was a really nice way to kick off the new year.

but still, i managed to fall sick- having a very sore throat now. i sound like a toad, n my colleague suggested that i could be the soundtrack of a horror movie... singing jazz songs to haunt everyone. like seriously......

i dont have much plans for 2009 actually... perhaps just to keep my job and work towards being healthier and happier, but no substantial plan in mind. i suppose things will play themselves out? whatever happens, will happen.
it's like... an almost lethargic way to start the year huh.. but oh well, maybe it's the meds.

that said, i refuse to end my first post of 2009 in a down mood. SO here's the good part- it's a chance for me to start over again. and this time, maybe we can make it better. we have a year to work on it.
