While many are busy preparing for Christmas, I chose to sit down and think about what I want to try and achieve next year. Well, I came up with a short list, something manageable.

1) Lose weight
2) Pick up guitar
3) Get into SIM
4) Learn a new sport, maybe inline skate

That's more or less it. Its not a whole lot but that's cause I'll have school to keep me busy.

Thinking back, this year has been rather kind to me. It was the end of NS life which I miss. I got my driving license. I got a great first job. The only thing i didn't achieve was doing a marathon. Well, its not that i don't want to do it, its just that I keep having this recurring pain on my feet and its pretty bad. Anyway, the thought of running for over 5hrs, scares me.

Looking forward, I really hope I get into SIM. I guess its my first step towards a brighter future. It may not guarantee it but its worth the try. My goals and ambitions have took a turn. Priorities have changed and I must do something about it.

Happy New Year (:

How often have you seen people put their "want" list or "want to do" list but never actually got it done? The most common reason i suppose most would come out with is the lack of time. Is it true? Or are we just chasing after something that we feel is much more important?



The working adults will blame work, the students blaming on classes, mums' blame on hectic kids, etc. Say i ask you to take 30min a day out of your time to learn something knew, can you do it? yeah, i sound like a commercial. But hey, seriously, i think people are not trying to live life. Once you hit the working world, you sold your life to the devil.

You're like a working robot! You wait for weekends to break free from a paid prison. Weekends to some is the time to party. Those with family, its a time to spend time with them, when their kids are still a toddler. Once they ht secondary school, getting hold of them will be much more tougher. Weekends will be a time to...watch tv.



So, before that time of yours arrive where you have to handle kids, i thinks its good to achieve what's written is your "want" list. Think back deep and ask yourself what things have you always wanted to try but never really got a chance to do it. Use that spare cash and channel into that thing you want to do.

For now, i can strike off one item from my "want" list ; Learn a musical instrument. I had my first lesson today and i swear it is painful. On a side note, I'm still far from my goal of running a marathon. I might downscale that goal. Haha.



Jeng! Jeng! Jeng!
