2012: The Year of Apocalypse

Tonight is the last night of 2012 and I'm writing this. It's going to be short.

The world didn't end on 21 December 2012. What a bummer.

Eldest finished kindergarten and will start primary in 2 days. I feel old. My second started kindergarten. I feel old.

I found that I truly loved my job, but I got increasingly frustrated with the direction we were heading to. I'm holding on. For now.

Car broke down. Got new car. TV broke. Got new TV. I'm still broke. What else is new?

Oh, some time in the middle of the year I decided I was too fat. I started working out and went for full-body check-up. I was relatively fine but doctor recommended me to lose some weight. Then I started counting Calories. Lost 4 kgs since. 2013 target: to fit into size 32 pants.

I grew an 8-months long hair, cut only last week after my eldest got his haircut for school.

My wife observed that I was having an early mid-life crisis. I think she was right. I think Whatsapp had a lot to do with that *cough*.

Bridges burned. Lessons learned.

The US had GE. Obawa won another term.

Malaysia's 13th General Erection Election is still anyone's guess. Read less about politics nowadays. No point. It is human nature; once your mind is made up, everything else is just noise. It has to happen Q1 2013 by hook. Or by crook. We'll see.

2012 had not been a great year. Apocalypse didn't happen but disasters did. But of course, optimists would tell me to count my blessings. So I guess I'll just shut up and start counting.

Till next year.
