1. The Internet….without the web, without email, without music and movie download, without porn (to a certain extent), without Friendster for all the lonely people, without MSN Messenger, without Blogs… … do I need to say more?? And dun forget, our lives are never the same without search engines like Google and Yahoo. Yes, we no longer need to search a library so damn hard to find information.
2. Still on information, the constant search for it, i.e. newspaper, internet, soccer updates, TOTO results, why Brad Pitt chooses Jolie not Aniston, Bird Flu Epidemics, we are all curious about the world around us. Information keeps us occupied, entertained, and most of all, triggers our minds to think.
3. Television and (channel surfing to a large extent)…dun watch TV for a week… never caught Project Runway…Amazing Race….feeling kinda empty. Forgot to watch the early morning live soccer match, missed the last episode of Channel 8 drama, the google box in our living room is one companion of ours, a mental support of some sort. Without it, and your living room, and your house would feel empty. No TV, no life.
4. Spending Money…. Here’s a challenge, try not spending any money for 3 days. If you succeed, try 5 days. If you still dun feel the pain, try another week. You probably can’t take it very soon. In modern Singapore, we have quite a spending habit, if not, the Great Singapore Sale will not be an “International Event”, and shopping malls will have endless amount of sales all year round. Without money, the world practically stops spinning.
5. Good Food … Yes, a healthy diet is important, but can anyone resist good food? Especially in tropical Singapore, where gourmet greets you in every corner of the island, it is impossible to resist all the temptations around. Laksa, Chicken Rice, Roti Prata… … Indulgence, Sinfully good and excessive consumption leads to multiple complications.
6. Finally…Mobile Phones…us holding the SMS world record, millions of handphone users, the need to own more than one phone, the need to bring your handphone everywhere you go (toilet, watch TV, must be beside you when u sleep. Our mobile phones are like a permanent fixture in our lives, we simply can’t live without it.
Finally, would like to wish everyone a happy new year, (may you not accomplish any new year resolution)
