New day, new year, new me...

Welcome to the future...

At least that's what we've been told since I was just a small boy. I remember at school we were given assignments to write about what we think Malaysia would be like in the year 2020 because back then we had a "Vision". We'd write things like flying cars (eh.. we're working on that now... no wonder...), robots, computers and things like that... And so here we are.. in the future.. watch out for that flying skateboarder...

But in a very real sense, we are way more advanced than 20 years before. I remember in school, me and my friend would wait till everyone is asleep before we'd play warcraft together because we'd have to connect using modems and in the daytime someone always pick up the phone. And also I think the charges were cheaper at night. I remember having 4 megabytes of RAM was a huge deal. And downloading mp3 took days. I remember riding the bus to KL and the only way to cool down was to sit beside the open window. I remember sitting awkwardly together with friends or family because we haven't got anything to say but don't have any smartphone to whip out and ignore them. I remember we'd always have the same prime minister.. oh wait.. we still do.. never mind.

So it's 2020. We made it. We are here now... So what are we going to make of it?

Well, I've learned some powerful and painful lessons in the year 2019. I hope to be able to continue learning from it and improve myself with regards to my health and finances. To contribute more to my family, community and the world. To be a better person in each and every way and it begins today...
