A Blues Filled Night

It is the night before Chinese New Year. Though I felt like sleeping the whole day while in the office today, strangely I don't quite feel tired when it comes to the night. Watched Desperado on Astro, and The Fast and The Furious after that. Been at the computer ever since playing Championship Manager as usual. My team in the game, Arsenal, is doing too well that it defies belief. Scoring at a rate of 5 goals a game, it is moving inevitably towards the brink of bankruptcy as a result of the galacticos of star players that I bought for the team in the game. Imagine Ronaldo, Zidane, and Tudor playing for Arsenal. And yeah, imagine Henry and Ronaldo pairing up front. Would send shivers down anyone's spine. Those avid players of the game out there should know what I'm talking about.

At this moment, am writing with Hasnol's song, Laguku Untukmu playing in the background. It gives me the blues listening to the song, at this time of night. It brings a sense of nostalgia of my past; the moments when I was in secondary school (when the song first came out); moments when I went through my crash and burns, singing my blues with the song. It's been a while since I entertained such thoughts, or like the saying in malay, layan blues. Hehe..

We're almost coming to the end of the first month of the new year. I've not actually written down my resolution for the new year. In fact, some of my resolutions for year 2003 are still outstanding. Generally, I would really love to see the following to happen in year 2004.

1. To get rid of my pot belly. This has been a brought forward resolution for years and years. The belly has been there for too long, that it is in danger of obtaining a permanent resident there. Year 2004 shall see its banishment! I am as hopeful as ever...
2. To find an alternative source of income to my 9 to 5 job. Having been in the office desk job for over 3 years now, I don't see achieving my long term goal of financial independence becoming a reality, unless I start looking for other alternatives. A few alternatives have come to mind. A small business? Multi-level marketing? Hmmm...
3. To be more organised. This one's a permanent feature in my yearly resolution. It keeps get pushed down the priority ladder as the year progresses.
4. More regular updates to my blog. This one should be challenging. Have to thank Riz for his regular visits here. You're the man!

I guess that's about all I can think of at the moment. Should anything good come to my mind in the course of the year, I might just add it up to the list above.

*Yawn*... I guess I had better hit the sack.
