And until I celebrated with other merry thousands by the bay this year, the past has always been forgettable: The tradition of sending one year off while ringing in the new in its crowd-shoving atmosphere happens less than I sloshing shots by the bar with few strangers under dim, low ceilings- where the booming can only be heard at a distance, but I, completely blind to its cause. For this last, I was in the clear to enjoy its standstill moment, absorbing sights, sounds, smells- everything.
Naturally, I also made a list of the hits and misses and regrets of 2015, and what better things to expect thereafter. Without further ado:
1) 2015 was a like a flex of a muscle so hard, I broke a hamstring- I'll take things slower this year.
2) There are 14, 000 things to be happy about that's listed in a compact book for sale at Kinokuniya.
3) You can put an egg in a microwave and make a great supper.
4) Pasteurized eggs come from "free range" chickens, which means they're uncaged and free to hang, making them healthy and their produce more delicious.
5) Though, I make chicken-feed for the work I do.
6) "Farm-fresh" eggs is marketese; it doesn't mean anything- like "the greatest", "the best", "the richest".
7) Relationships are not concepts; they're as free-range as chickens roam.
8) Politics make men strange bedfellows.
9) What doesn't kill you will give you a stroke.
10) Who knew pitching a campaign could be so EXHAUSTING and REWARDING (at the same time)?
11) And writing an entire training manual under the snap of a week- with the amount of research and planning- is my proudest work so far shared with bright, industrious team members.
12) I can't garden to save my life. In fact, I almost killed all of my mother's favourite plants when she was away on a holiday.
13) Some people are so dim to speak with, any talk further and I'd have to water them.
14) Judge less, accept more.
15) People overcompensate for their bad habits with niceties. If you have a knack for arriving an hour late, don't apologise- just buy the other person lunch.
16) Long distance Skype calls are the most poignant tools of communication- what's connecting you and the recipient is a thin, glossy computer screen and a strong Wifi. And as near of a portrait the other person seems to be, he'll always be as far away as history. Little wonder, long distance relationships never work out.
