What to Look Forward To in 2012

You know, its that dreary time of the year when the festivities are over, you’ve spent all your bonus money,and the next public holiday isn’t for 3 months. What does 2012 hold for the rest of us?

2012 London Olympics
If the London Underground workers’ strike doesn’t cripple it, that is. Am i going to watch any events? Not likely. Who’s going to win the 100meters? I dunno, are Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis still running?

Worst. Olympic Logo. Ever.

The Hobbit: The Movie: The First Part: An Unexpected Journey
Really? its two movies now? I remember it was a thin book, like 300 pages. Still, I think it’s gonna be good. Man should watch the LOTR trilogy again.

Euro 2012
Or as it is commonly known, “the-World-Cup-without-Brazil-and-Argentina”. But the more important questions will be “Which unfortunate English player is going to miss the penalty in the quarterfinals again?” and “is Rooney going to break his toe again???”

the 13th General Election
A lot of mud will be slung. Assuredly. As my mother-in-law would say, “Don’t go out ah? Sure got trouble one. Make sure to stock up canned food, ah?” (try imagining it in Cantonese)

On a related note,

The US Presidential Elections
Something like our elections, but with less slinging of mud. No need to stock up canned food either. I’m thinking the candidate with the least weird name should win. (Mitt? Barack? Try googling ‘Santorum’)

End of the world
If the Mayans were correct, it will all come to an end on December 12th. Should I cancel my pilates class for that day? Or maybe this was what actually that happened…
