Resolutions for 2009
January 11, 2009
*Mini update. Didn’t have to pay for late registration, which wasn’t my fault (Refer to previous post) so that’s RM50 saved.*
And so I have decided to join the cliche of listing my resolutions for 2009, as I have for 2008. Here goes:-
1. Be less cynical (that means stop saying, “You suck, they suck, we all suck, we’re all gonna die anyway)
2. Be happier. Oh the sky is blue, the grass is green, roses are red, life is beautiful…yadda yadda yadda. This is so not working for me.
3. Be more content with my life (as in stop being so picky with everything).
4. Sweat not the small stuff. In laymen’s term, stop being bitchy.
5. Better camera and (PINK) mp3 player. *hint*hint* Any takers (or givers for that matter)?
6. Since it’s like a trend now, be more vain (but not ugly vain) which leads me to the next resolution…
7. Lose weight (so typical)
Last but certainly not least, my ultimate goal for 2009 is *drumroll please*
8. Graduate in August and get a job! (Like that one wasn’t obvious) If that happens, I get myself a DSLR and PINK mp3 player. I can’t count the times that I’ve said I wanted a DSLR for the longest time.
That’s about all I can come up with at the moment, because if I let loose and blabber away, you’ll be bored to death with China’s environmental protection laws and the challenges China faces towards a sustainable economic development in a globalised era of information technology and k-economy. (Try reading that in one breath, then try typing all that in one breath). Umm I’ll add more to the list as time goes by, if I’m not too lazy that is.
Okay, back to work. I’m so SO close. Wish me luck.
Au revoir.
Thank goodness 2008 is over. It was a crazy year in general, with my best highlight of the year being your visit here in the summer.
At the end of 2007, all I could say was I hope 2008 is better. I can honestly say it was a little better. I got through the whole year without either parent in a hospital, and got to spend 5.5 weeks raiding every major mall in the region with you. We got to see and experience a lot of what Chicago has to offer, and some of it was a first for me too, even though I live here.
2009 is the year that I wish I could visit you. The financially responsible side of me wants to finally pay off the last of my debt, and the “monkey” side of me wants to go there. I am reluctantly behaving. I am hoping for opportunities to earn extra money to visit you without diving back into debt.
I don’t do resolutions… well… maybe one. The same one I have every year. I just wanna be a better person, and do more good than bad. My main hope for the year is that all those whom I care about and love remain healthy and are still a part of my life at the end of the year.
Ideas for the new year: wear sunblock, eat ice cream, let someone with less items go ahead of you at the store, drink water, be more active, accept yourself, be grateful, and smile more.
Well, thats enough philosophical deep thinking for today.
