J 2008
Lets blog at the start of the year...
In the blink of an eye, 2007 is gone and never to return again. Before I start all the talk of J 2008, lets re-cap on 2007.
In my personal opinion, 2007 haven't been a great year for me at all. Only a few milestone for me.
1) Change job from OCBC to Elsevier
2) Completed my part-time Bachelor Degree
3) Went to Beijing for working trip.
That's all that I can recall of 2007. That's quite sad huh. In wake of this, I had decided to come out with more serious and measurable resolutions for 2008.
I had decided on 12 resolutions which is for the 12 months of 2008. The resolutions are segemented into 2 different groups with 2 points and 1 points based on the level of importance and difficulty. Here they are...
(Two Points Each)
1) Read Bible & Pray Everyday
Its not going to be easy but I will try....
2) Keep Fit
Hey hey. I feel its time for me to do it. Had been pushing it off since I left Army. Time to stay healthy. Not getting any younger. Hahaha.
3) Go for Lasik Surgery
Ever since this technology came out, I'm sure there are enough white mice for those to test on. Hence should be kind of stable. Been on my wishlist for quite sometime. Perhaps now it should be my to-do list.
4) Stop Bad Habit 1
Arggh... I try....
5) Stop Bad Habit 2
Mmmm... not too sure as well. But gotta try....
6) Learn Cantonese
Always wanted to learn this dialect as I feel its really nice on the ears and less to say the songs. Will not be easy....
(One Point Each)
7) Read 10 self-improvement books
At a certain point of your life, you will feel the need to improve on your personal life and I feel that now is the time to do so. I'm already started on Book Number 1.
8) Get Golf Handicap
Had tried to self-teach myself by learning the techniques from goggle-search. But guess you still need a proper coach to teach you the right stuff. Will be going lessons with my friends.
9) Do one regular sport per week
I actually really love sports and outdoor stuff. So I hope I'm able to fufill this.
10) Save $XXXX in savings account
Not saying the amount. But its never early to start saving for retirement. Hahaha.
11) Catch up with 10 old friends
During Christmas, I received 6 unknown sms-es which were actually from my old friends. So I felt its time to catch up a bit.
12) Stay in my current job
To some, this might be easy but from my past history, I had never stayed in a job for more than 1 year. Hence, something for me to achieve as well.
To summarise, apart from the above 12 resolutions, there are a further 3 bonus resolutions which are not listed. There are a total of 18 points to be achieved. I hope that at the end of 2008, I can re-look this list and find that I had achieved at least 9 points. Passing mark. Haha.
So thats about all. Tomorrow will be the first day of the New work year and a loooonnnnng 2008 lies ahead. I don't know what to expect. 2008 hasn't realli started well for me but heck it, I will make it end well and thats all that matters.
The quote below is very inspiring for me. A good way to start 2008.
Quote: "It's enough for you to do it once for a few men to remember you. But if you do it year after year, then many people remember you and they tell it to their children, and their children and grandchildren. And if it's good enough, it will last as long as there are human beings." ~ Ernest Hemingway
