What are you waiting for?

Well, well, what are we all waiting for in this game of life ?.... to win the lottery of course, but how can you win the lottery if you dont buy one? So, how can you achieve anything if you dont try?

Must say I didnt try anything new this year and, low and behold, its coming to an end. So what's my new year resolution? Try to get a free ticket to go to the moon ?....nuh,...no shopping mall there and, its colder than Beijing. Try to look like Claudia Sheiffer, fat chance in hell, wrong body, wrong color, wrong height, wrong wrinkles !!!

So? where does that leave us normal people living in the outback town of Sandakan....give me a second !....hmmm...the good life of course, air fresher than in KL, traffic jams only 15 mins long, power cuts, so sleep early, good for your health, no noise pollution except for the odd malay wedding thats goes on through the nite, no shopping malls , so save a lot of money, fresh and cheap seafood that we always boast about, but pay alot in HK to eat when we are there. If you check the fish you would probably find that it came from the waters off Sim Sim.

Personally I am not waiting for anything....oooophs, not true, I am waiting for a cream that can get rid of eye bags. They seem to grow on the face when you are not looking, and these days I literally dont look in the mirror unless I want to upset myself for some excitement,...sick huh?

I had lunch today with Sui Ping, Elizabeth, Joanne and Siew Siew. We were talking about lasik. Well, according to the eye specialist in Singapore , dont do it cos as you age, the eyes like other parts of the body, dry up too...the body parts dont only droop down , now I am told they dry up too, luckily nothing explodes. Hold on! something does explode...the tummy . Of course we are too polite to say so. We chinese will say that its the prosperous look...ok,ok, so I am jeolous, I dont have that prosperous look. Do you? Me, I am trying to look like I just walked out of Africa...so sue me.

Tomorrow is new year's eve. To those who are celebrating with friends at the various venues, I wish you a very happy new year. Eat and be merry, its too late to worry about that on coming explosion. Can't start the new year looking like a stick insect !...bad feng shui ! Just dont forget your earplugs and sunglasses! You dont want someone to step on your ears on the dance floor..hahaha

To those like me who are celebrating with family and friends at home have a fun filled evening reminising about the days when wan tan mee costs 20 cents a bowl, when you see this pretty smooth face in the mirror with jet black hair, when " age" was a word in your grandmother's vocabulary......hmmm, where did the time go?

So, what are you waiting for?.... live I say, let your hair down ( whats left of it ) ....happy new year to all my friends and my sons friends where ever you are. Till we meet again. God bless all of you.
