2011: The Year of... Well, THE Year!

I was browsing through old posts in this blog. My first post was on October 2nd, 2006. That was five years ago. I was a very different person.

I looked back to 2005, 2003, 2000, 1998, 1997, 1995, 1993, 1992… each marking significant turning points in my life and in perspective. I grew up, for the better, for worse, yet I grew up nevertheless.

But 2011 will always be THE year.

I lived my lifelong dream. Of that. Thing.

I emptied my EPF account 2 for a bigger pigeon hole, and then suffered half of the year paying for 2 properties.  I know it is odd that a dragon would live like some idiot bird. It's for the greater good.

I bought stuff.

I took another small step towards living debt-free.

I still live on deficit.

Looking forward, I think I’m gonna try writing in Malay for a change. I may suck, but I definitely need to try it out. I have some peculiar ideas in my head. I think I’m gonna try writing a book. Hey, I lived one dream, why can’t I live up to another one?

General Erection Election is almost certain to happen first half of 2012. The way things are in Bolehland, the ruling coalition loses my vote as long as they are more interested in buttholes than fixing the economy and the rampant corruption at virtually every level of governance.

I have a feeling things will not work out so well come 2012. Cost of living, taxes, utility bills and kindergarten fees have gone up. It is going to be the year of the Dragon according to the Chinese. It is going to be Tarmon Gai’don according to the Wheel of Time. And it is going to be the apocalypse according to the Mayans.

There are no coincidences.
