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.
