Resolutions Review - January 07

Okay, I just had once again a very sinful meal of xi1 men2 fried chicken, Zinger burger and mayonnaised-takoyaki and felt very guilty at what I am doing with my life. A revisit of my New Year resolutions is in order:

1. Learn Japanese for JLPT2 in 2008 - definitely achievable, already signed up for classes

Ok, I've not missed a class yet, though I've not really been studying as regularly as I should thanks to adjusting to the new work environment at RP. Hope that's not an excuse? I think I will make better use of the travelling time to RP from next week onwards to revise.

2. Read a book each month - seems achievable

• Read a book on NLP - recommendations, anyone?
  
• Read Edward de Bono's Thinking Course - great book but I've never got to reading it, a challenge
  

Hmm, I've only read the Thinking Course halfway and it's sitting on my office desk... I should pick it up argh! On the other hand my colleague VT egged me to finish The Game so argh, so many things to read! On top of the reads to prepare for class I think I should get ready for work-related reads as well.

3. Contact everyone each quarter - tough! so far I can only do so like twice a year

I'm way guilty of this but I think once the school holidays come I'll take at least a day of leave and visit AGL and the lovely people there and then NUS as well.

4. Exercise thrice a week - even tougher! I'm such a lazy slob

Now this is most disturbing 'cos I've not exercised at all!!!! I was hoping to take a dip yesterday but the pool's closed for Inter-Varsity Games. Found a few kaki-colleagues to go though, maybe I should go for a run in the gym during lunch on Monday... thankfully there's no class!

5. Date - sigh

How to rush this kind of thing??

6. Learn how to invest - www.poems.com.sg

Ok, I admit I don't have time for this for the time being.

7. Learn to dance - two left feet!

Another one of the no time thing.

8. Learn first aid - something useful in life

Yet again...

9. Be more forgiving and less judgemental

Still trying to find out if that's a safe thing to do in the new workplace

10. Learn how to evaluate wine

Obviously no time...

ARGH!! Get your lazy bum moving Ned!
