I came across this ode while surfing the net and thought I'd share it here as I can really identify with what has been expressed. Feasting at the end of the year has its baggage for many to carry :-). Take care and smile a lot! Stay happy and have a nice day!

An Ode to January by Alicia Moss
It is two days after Christmas, and all through the house,
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvellous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, 'No thank you, please.'
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt -
I said to myself, as I only can
'You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!'
So - away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
'Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie - not even a lick.
Dieting in January, I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore
But isn't that what January is for?

Have a nice day!

Anonymous "Mingguan Malaysia columnist Dr Mohd Ridhuan Tee Abdullah today pushed the powder-keg issues of race and religion further, by arguing that the Malay-Muslim’s majority meant they had more rights and accused the other races of putting their interests above national needs."

Unknown Dear Anonymous @ 2.52p.m. and 2.55 p.m.
Such articles do more damage to BN than anything else. I hope they realize it soon.
Very shocking indeed!
Thanks for the alert.

Hafiz b Shukor I strongly believe that Najib needs more Mohd Ridhuansss to make his 1Malaysia Dream become a reality!

Catherine Just ignore this rift-raft racist!
He is just another religious hypocrite trying to please the UMNOputras!
With such character hanging around, we are not the least surprised if our local universities will forever be way below in the rankings!
God bless him!

Thanks for your words of encouragement and strength in the midst of all kinds of attacks from left and right.

Take care and have a pleasant evening.
