Happy New Year to the Russians & New Zealanders

December 31, 2007 - 8:00 pm - Posted by cereal87

Fiji, Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, part of Russia, and New Zealand is now celebrating New Year. 4 more hours to go before Malaysia’s turn. Russia has 11 timezones and thus its going to be an eleven hour celebrations. Why Malaysia don’t have? We need 1 here. So I can give myself excuses to party for 11 hours non stop.

New Year Resolutions

December 31, 2007 - 3:31 am - Posted by cereal87

I have stopped making new year resolutions ever since secondary schools when the teachers no longer forces us to do 1. I think that was like 5 years back. I don’t really bother making one because I don’t believe you need a new year to turn a new leaf. I do make many resolutions throughout the year and I let at least 1 person who is close to me know about it and can make sure I will be on the track. New year resolutions are no different than goals. It should be set whenever deemed necessary and you have to work for it.

So, why do I bother making 1 now. Actually, I am not making 1, but I am just listing down resolutions/goals that are not done and I am carrying them to the next year.

Add extra weight until I am back to 45kg. When I just entered my uni in 2005, I weighted 45kg. But after I got sick and recovered, my weight float between 42-43kg. No matter how much I eat, it seems I hardly gain any weight. Yeah, envy me girls :p
Continue to save more. Actually was money to buy myself a graphic tablet. Miracle did happened and I got a Wacom Bamboo Fun earlier. Consider it an Xmas gift from my parents. I was saving from the extra allowances they give throught last sem and this sem. Yeah, I was keeping it secret from alot of ppl. After this people will know I have a tablet and I know, they will go like why the hell and engineering student own this kinda thing.
Continue to stay away from smoking.
Continue to hunt down that freaking stalker that almost messed up my life. I am going to castrate him/her.
Continue to try to achieve full attendance in lectures and tutorials. I am doing quite well to achieve 100% attendance. Continue to keeping the good work.
Continue to offer volunteer ship. For this coming year, I will be focused more on contributing back to the MMU community.
Continue to strengthen my relationship with my dear baby. A lot of things had happened since the past 15 months and there was this 1 stupid freaking malay (my assumption) trying to break us apart, but we went through together and came out even stronger. For the malays out there, stop being a stupid malay. For the chinese out there, this is Malaysia, a multi racial country, stop being ignorant and and stop making a fuss about racial issues.
Hmm… 8th resolution? Since its the year 2008, I hope something good going to happen to me on 08.08.2008. Tripple 8 wor… Hope can kena jackpot and get RM8, 888, 888. lol… No need to be greedy. Better think about graduating first before worrying about money.
