Good is Bad
This is the time when people would usually put up a list of what their 2009 new year resolution would be. I'd like to do one too when i can still afford the internet, but let's not make it too extravagant.
I think i'll list down the top 20 things i most want to accomplished before year 2009 ends. Counting down from number 20.
20. Continue to make myself a better drinker so i would not embarrass myself when i go out to drink with my friends. Facts & figures have officially proven that i am a terrible drinker. I've improved slightly over the past year, but still i continue to stay tomato-red once alcohol enters my blood stream. Must improve this further.
19. Make it a habit to jog. Well, since swimming is out of the question at the moment, and hiking needs driving to, jogging suddenly seems to be the cheapest way to exercise, cardio at least. Let's make it a habit to run at least once a week.
18. Cut down on being mean & sarcastic. i think i'm growing to be pretty sarcastic most of the time if not mean. So i should really tone my voice down and tone my sarcasm down before i got no more friends left.
17. To have a 6 figure savings in my bank account in front of the decimal number. Well, for the past 2 years, i've been saving pretty diligently so that i would have enough cash flow in times of crisis in case i were to invest some of my money. i think now should be the best time to start planting my money into proper channels instead of depending solely on earning from monthly salary.
16. New laptop. Well, more like a tablet would be nice. Although it's smaller, and more expensive, but it's really more convenient to bring it about than to lug around a 17 inch. Yes, the screen may be smaller but i can always pull out a second screen into a larger LCD for entertaintment. Well, let's see what i can get with my budget next year.
15. A career change decision. This is long over due actually, but a decision needs to be made in January. Most probably i'm going to do it, but the question is full time or part time. To be or not to be? That is THE question now.
14. Scout for a new house location. Just got the stakes higher now, need to get a house before i can commit myself to a lifelong commitment. No need to buy but at least have a targetted area as to where should i get the property landed on.
13. Stay POSITIVE. i think i've turned gloomy quite a lot ever since i started working. Although the rate of me turning pessimistic is not as terrible as most people i know, still i find i'm going at the exponential direction. Therefore, needs to stay optimistic no matter what happens, because by staying positive will i be able to solve the problems that lies ahead.
12. Spend lesser on food and entertaintment, more on investment & savings. For the past 2 months, there were literally no savings going into my bank account as i have to pay for miscellaneous stuffs like CNY clothes, KK Trip downpayment, etc etc etc. Needs to cut down on really good food, and going to the movies. Especially when they began deducting my salary in March, when my annual leave balance can no longer sustain the force leave the company is implmenting.
11. KK Trip. This will happen in March, so the goal here is simple. Reach the TOP~!!
10. Plan for a romantic Year-2 Getaway with a surprise. This is a tough one, but this is something that i must spend some money on. No idea on what to do yet, but this will definitely come true. This must come true.
9. Have a nice dinner & chit-chat with Amanda. We had an overdue appointment from way-back. Knowing that i hate to owe people, especially my friends, i think i should get this off the back of my head before it got digested into poo.
8. Do my jobs properly. Well, i made this resolution last year, so this year should do the same. There's no such thing as performing too well. We should always look ahead to improve ourselves even though we're already good. What's more when i'm not the best around, the even more reason to continue to improve myself on my jobs. Both my jobs for now.
7. Learn how to paint nails. Tried this but i suck at it. Think i should learn to do it properly since SQ had been nagging me to help her do French manicure. Let's try this ok?
6. Get a photo album & snap more photos. I piggyback to my mom when she took her pictures to develop. So now i have a small collection of pictures in hard solid copy of me & SQ. So need to get a nice photo album to put those in. Furthermore, everytime we went on a holiday, we don't take much pictures of us together. Reasons include no 3rd person to hold the camera for us, no nice view to take pictures at, forgot to bring camera, shy, etc etc etc. Since there will be numerous events where we will be travelling together, more pictures of us should come.
5. Do charity. Ever since i left Uni, i haven't been a good person. I haven't been going to the temple, i haven't been doing much voluntary work, haven't been involved in recycling activities, didn't do any charity in fact, etc etc etc...... I know it's not like i'm doing a lot during Uni days but at least i'm involved in some. Now is totally ZERO. Should do more good deeds.
4. Beat someone up. It's rather ironic as i was saying do good deeds and now something so extreme on the other side. There's someone i have a grudge on. I know hatred cannot be ceased with hatred, only with love can hatred be ceased. Well, let's tell that to him after i beat the crap out of him. Let's hope i get to sink my fist into his face. Let's just put this on and hope i get the chance. If you see my locked-up, you know what happened.
3. Never allow another drop of tears to fall down her cheek. Well, i've had my fair share of riduculous period, and tears dropped because of my idiocracies. Let's not allow that to happen again.
2. Watch a movie where i will cry. SQ told me she's seen me in a lot of emotions and facial expression except the one when i cry. I can't think of a reason to cry, and i don't hope really terrible things happen. So let's find a good cry movie to watch and.....CRY.
1. As usual, COMPLETE everything on the list before year 2009 ends. Normally i fail to accomplished most on the list, therefore, this is not doable as well. But anyway, let's just wait and see what will happen to me.
Done, a list of actions i need to accomplished starting next year. Let's see if i can accomplish all of them.
