50 Things that I am grateful for

This thought just occurred to me. There are many seemingly petty things out there that our generation takes for granted. I know the list can extend far, far beyond just 50, but I think this is a start. This list is not in order. I am writing them as they come across my mind.

50 Things that I am grateful for

  1. My friends. Through thick and thin. Stiff and limp.
  2. The Internet (forever indebted to the Internet. Geeks are no longer losers in social life. In fact, we have more social links now)
  3. The advancement of internal combustion engine (I realized how easy for us to drive cars these days compared to these dudes in WWI)
  4. Advancement of mobile telecommunication technologies. Internet on the go
  5. Gas Lighters. I hate matches
  6. Liquid Crystal Displays. Finally my eyes can rest
  7. Steve Jobs. Many hate him too. But he have excellent presentations
  8. Spectacles. I’d be blind without it
  9. Coffee
  10. Chocolate
  11. Chocolate-chip cookies
  12. Good Music
  13. Advancement of Digital Single-Lens Reflex cameras. No more spending in films!
  14. Refrigerator
  15. Microwave Oven
  16. Seasonal Sales. I hate spending on apparels
  17. Credit Cards and Debit Cards
  18. Rapidshare
  19. Bit Torrent technology
  20. Elevators
  21. Escalators
  22. Travelators
  23. Ruby on Rails. I’m lucky I don’t have to code websites in FORTRAN
  24. Open-source Softwares
  25. Li-ion Batteries
  26. Advancement of Mobile Phones
  27. Electric Kettles
  28. Digital Passports
  29. Traffic Lights
  30. Tameable animals. Especially cats.
  31. Chilled Beer
  32. Air Asia. Oh yeah cheap flights! Thank you Tony!
  33. Petronas. I know some hate this company. But I have my reasons
  34. Cupcakes
  35. Bill Gates. Many hate him. But he brings the desktop computing forward.
  36. Instant Noodles
  37. Canned Drinks
  38. Condoms. Sex is less fun (for the girl) without this.
  39. Wireless Fidelity. If you don’t know what this is, it’s obvious that you are taking things for granted
  40. Electricity. 80% of what I’m grateful for wouldn’t be there without this
  41. Clean water supply
  42. Washing Machine
  43. Wrist watches
  44. Cinemas
  45. Fluorescent Lights. Saves energy like nobody’s business
  46. Global Positioning System
  47. Bean bags
  48. Being able to see, listen and speak
  49. Mozilla Firefox
  50. Chicken. Can’t believe I almost missed this one!
