The end of the world.... not!

Well it's that time again, things slow down and wind down, wrapping up the end of the year. I'm glad the world didn't come to an end, but then again, I suppose it was quite silly to think that, but heck, you never know.

Today, I find myself in Dongguan doing shows before finally ending the year comedy-wise. I'll have 2 days to kind of sort out myself and finish off all the things I aimed to accomplish in 2012 (or before the world does decide to finish itself). I like to review my logs and notes to see how 2012 went. Well last year I tried to better my workload-management so I don't over-work myself and stress myself out. Well, that proved harder than I thought. I can still recall a lot of situations where I just lay in bed quite brain dead after a long day. But heck, one thing i learned is I survived! Ahaha I think the biggest lesson I learned in 2012 is that no matter what happens, the world will keep turning and unless you're dead, life still goes on. Oh and I also learned that I'm still have my addictive personality especially when it comes to playing games. Oh man, my crazy addiction to games like Sleeping Dogs, Max Payne 3 and now Hitman: Blood Money. Yes, thanks to the Steam year-end sale, I got myself hooked on to more stuff. Oh well, I think it's a valid balance to let me just get away from my typical routine of work.

In 2012, I also learned that if I practice my drums for a while (around a week), I'm able to blink my left and right eyes separately. But if I stop my practice for around a week, I lose that ability. Ahaha as they say "use it or lose it".

I also got a chance to watch a lot of great, motivating speeches on Youtube. Like:

I learned more and more about how important it is to get your mindset in the right zone and it's constantly something I have to get myself into when the going gets tough. Heck, even when I'm at a buffet with killer food and I'm stuffed like crazy, I just have to remind myself "you're going to get hungry soon and when you're hungry, you're going to regret not eating one more piece of this"...then I'm motivated to cram in another piece of something tasty... ok well maybe motivation is a double-edged sword.

Anyway, here's to a sharper and brighter 2013 ahead! Happy new year!
