New Year's Eve (Slumber) Party

The past few days, I've been getting a few text messages promoting New Year's Eve parties by restaurants, bars, libraries.. eh? oh.. its bar called Library.. altho I'm pretty sure they're not in the business of lending beers .. just hangovers.. and they're probably not too bothered if you don't return them. 

Anyhow it got me thinking.. why do people revel in alcohol on last day of the year? To forget all the resolutions and plans for the year that were never achieved? To have one last drink because you never know if all computers in the world would be able to register the new year in their system and cause a global catastrophe?

Here's an alternative to all that partying and drinking as you await the new year and all the hopes and expectations and it brings: Sleep. Yes. Nothing is better than sleep. It brings as much joy (if not more) than alcohol and doesn't cause a dime. Also what's better than having had a good night's rest while laughing at the rest of the world with their hangovers the next morning?

Well some of you might feel left out if you didn't go for a night out to welcome the new year. Here's a solution to allow us to both have a blast and get some shut eye - bring the time forward. Yes, all you need is a clock. And some imagination. Just ask Mr Bean's friends..

Just move the time forward to midnight and..

 Taa da!! Its the new year!! Auld lang syne and all!

Did you know that Mr Bean was the originator of Oppa Gangnam style before it became popular? Too bad it didn't catch on with his friends..

Yeah, that's right kid.. should've moved the clock forward instead
