2010 Resolutions

1st Jan 2010

Happy New Year. Welcome to a new decade little bro.

By the time you read this, I hope we are together over a wine to celebrate the new year of a decade later (unlike tonight when I'm alone with cheap pre-made sushi, white Australian wine, Vietnamese strawberries, and Ben & Jerry ice cream). I hope we will laugh about what I have and have not accomplished in 2010. The thing about resolutions is that it hardly came true, although I have exceeded some of my resolutions last year. So here is a quick run down of what I want to do this year.

- Move on with my work. Complete this project. To either get a new job assignment, a new designation, or to change to a new firm that can provide what my heart truly wants.

- Commitment to my language study. I wish to reach at least JLPT 2 proficiency in Japanese, and then restart my French language. I need to keep practicing

- Got my GMAT. Or at least got my GMAT preparation ready for Feb 2011 application for Fall term. I need to focus and make time.

- Increase my commitment with Photography and Painting. I already had a good head start with a new camera and a lot new materials. I need to practice practice practice.

- To travel. Either Japan or Europe, depending on budget availability.

- To move on. To get to know, or at least to be ready, with the next person that could be my "heart to wrap around to find my way around"

- To be a better person to my friends, to my family, to myself. To make time from work for life and not just work 24/7 like this year. To try to work on volunteer work

- To get fitter. Run a marathon. Swim twice a week. Lose my "pregnancy" :)

- To be responsible and save. To at least clear 80% of my study loan and save up for MBA studies.

Seems like a hand full, but I guess I'll try to make it all.

Let's review in 2020 if your brother is as good as he thought, ok :)

Happy New Year
