happy new year

Like most people I made New Years resolutions that I, again like most people, will forget about in approximately three weeks.

• Use time more wisely.
• Tone my midsection through actual exercise (Gasp!)
• Visit a place I've never been to before.
• Read 30 books not related to classes.
• Exercise my patience for others and their opinions.
• Cut down on spending and learn to dress more frugal.
• Get out and meet more people!
• Learn to be civil toward relatives.
• Be a better friend.
• Keep a cleaner house.
• Have a lot of fun and try to surround myself with laughter as much as possible.

Now, these are pretty reasonable. So I thought I should add some predicitions in there. As I am not qualified to make predictions regarding the economy, Nobel Prize winners, or elections I think I'll stick to small stuff.

I predict:

• at least one man will offer me breakfast on my morning bus ride;
• my sister will be incarcerated for the entire year;
• the Negeri Sembilan will be in the Piala Malaysia;
• the Liverpool will make the playoffs;
• we will still have economic woes ;
• I will procrastinate on my outlines again;
• that Afdlin will not win any posthumous awards for anything;
• and that Memey will not be married or pregnant;
• and that Najib will resign late in the year.

Do you agree? Disagree? Care?
