A NYE conversation

The background

It's new year's eve 2008. Habitually, I try to round up the year before the new one dawns. Because a MP once told me that it's more important how you finish off than how you start. Hmm, actually, before that MP told me, I already have the habit. Because if you don't know your own history, there can hardly be a good ground to create a future.

This NYE, I have with me a guest blogger. Finally, I've convinced him to be my guest blogger. The 'man' you all have been reading about. This is my NYE conversation with the 'man', Emman.

The conversation

me: Dear, you ready?
em: Ready? (busy taking photographs of almost every thing in my room)
me: Ello...
em: Wait. I go toilet first. Don't blog it.
me: *ya, right*
(Em returns from the loo)
me: I will start first. Dear, what do you want to leave behind from this year?
em: Um, Melvin... Lim. And Yong Kee.
me: That's all?
em: Yong Kee is not like that, dear! Yong is correct. But 'kee' is k-i. So, combine together.
me: This is like doing transcribing.
em: Ya. You are good at doing transcribing.
me: Ok. Now you get to ask one question.
em: ... Ok. Who... whom do you think about most in 2008?
me: Fishing!!!
em: 'Whom', not 'who'!
me: Wah, correct my grammar! ... Fishing! Hmpf!
em: So? What's the answer?
me: i said you laahh... angry! (while slapping emman) What's the most memorable event of this year?
em: My appraisal!!! ... No lor, actually, no. When you left for Europe.
me: Why?
em: I thought one question only. Why you ask 'why'? That's two questions already.
me: Oei!!! Then, ok. You ask first.
em: ...
me: Don't fish eh.
em: What's the worst thing you want to forget in 2008?
me: Don't have leh...
em: Are you sure?
me: I don't remember much leh. So, there's nothing much to forget.
em: So, this kind of game is kind of useless.
me: Ok. Then, don't play again lah. Haiyah!

And, that is an unexpected and abrupt end to our NYE conversation.

Thank you for paying attention so far.

No lesson learnt lah. No lesson. Just some surprising decisions brought about by some delightful people around me.

Same old, same old.

I didn't make any resolution in January too.

We walk towards the new day, the new year, like it's gonna be a new beginning. But, every single day... every single day is a new beginning and comes but once a year too.

So, celebrate it.

Happy today!
