So eventhough this has nothing to do with my story whatsoever, I still think it’s worth telling.

My girlfriend and I got high today.

Yes, I’m talking high-smiley-being all giddy and stupid-drug-high.

The poison of our choice?

It wasn’t marijuana, alcohol nor even glue, but a nice addictive cologne.

Yes, cologne.

Now before you scoff and roll thy eyes, let me just remind you that humans are not only turned on just by visual stimuli but also by their other sensory glands. Hey at least I don’t think Angelina Jolie would’ve gotten it on with good ol’ Brad based on looks alone and if he smelled like a troglodyte, kays?

Anyhow I actually find that if I spray a favourite male smelly unto my pillows and sheets, I end up sleeping much better.  It relaxes me and I wake up the first 5 seconds happy as a disoriented lark before the sad realisation sinks and that’s, hehe, there is actually no other person in bed with yours truly.

Of course, a girl can remedy that from time to time.

Needless to say, my girlfriend is definitely getting that hot male-in-a-can for her boudoir.

Now where were we?

Oh that’s right. So I was training at the gym today when it hits me, golly gum drops, it’s 2007. Sure it’s always a new year in 12 months but this epiphany of mine was different.

In the next couple of days, I’d turn 25, a quarter of a blinking century and what would I have to show for it?

Sure I am accumulating all things material but what profound success?/experience?/growth? would I really have to show for?

Hence I decided to make a list. I initially decided to make a mental one whilst working out because Joe Bloggs next to me was pissing me off by merrily taking my weights to use without asking (btw what GUY uses the same weights as a GIRL?!! geez..) and trying to impress me. Ugh. Troll.

So for the year of 2007, I’m aiming for personal growth. My competitor?

Me.

I want to push myself and strive to be on top of the food-chain from all aspects. This year I wanna be top-dog in my job; I going to be a better dancer and teacher. Kickboxing-wise I want to have at least 3 fights before the year is out.

Why the sudden rush to do all things crazy? Well just cause the time is right.

Also perhaps the next time I’m back home, I can use my achievements as an excuse as to why I’m not married and don’t have 25 kebillion kids already. *dryly*

If you’re not in the know, it’s normal for most Asian peeps my age to settle down at this time and it shows. Most of my friends are either engaged or already married. It’s like a matrimonial plague has hit the Peninsular.

But for me I think I’ll just stick to my favourite cologne, thanks.

Hey it did have something to do with my story after all!

Happy New Year you guys!
