Bye 2004 and here comes 2005!
Before we welcome the new year with new resolutions, let's review 2004.
2004 is the year:
- Witness how normal people like you and me, become aspiring and famous celebrities overnight. Examples include, Taufik, Sylvester, Joanne Peh, Felicia Chin, and so on.
- Proclaim our very first Singapore Idol
- Poured the news over the Huang Na Saga everyday
- Wonder why numerous strangers donate so much money and hello kitties for crematation of Huang Na and not to orphanages instead.
- Realised how tragedy struck home with the collapse of the Nicoll Highway.
- Bought eggs at ridiculous prices due to the bird flu.
- See how the horrible Tsunami disaster destroyed the innocent lives of many from Phuket, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and our neighbouring countries.
- Read the news and realised that many artistes / celebrities were actually retrenched because of the merger of two TV stations.
Actually more but I cannot remember. In all, an eventful year indeed.
New year resolutions? I don't remember making any. Even if I do, it will still be the same unresolved, "In the year 2005 and the years to come, I shall make an effort not to be late." So there.
In other news, while we will all be making merry, celebrating the new year, we shall not forget that there are people who will need us to help them after the horrible Tsunami disaster. Several families of the 100,000 (and still counting) victims will not be celebrating the new year this year. So please, make a small donation to Red Cross today. Every little thought counts.
To all, treasure your last few hours of 2004 and a tremendous year ahead!
Til 2005 then!
