Resolutions

Never had them.

So I figured I should start somewhere. After 30 years, yup, I think I should start.

Family (aka personal)
1) Get that driving license.
2) Start exercising, and pass the next IPPT window by 2007.

Professional (aka career)
1) Apply and start on that Master Degree (finally).
2) Learn Korean (again).
3) Get that promotion again.

Okie, so I cheated a little. My driving test is on 16 January 2007. I'll do my best to pass. So this item is 90% complete.

Now the rest seriously require extreme time management. With a daughter, and if I were to cope with the Master Degree coursework, I will have scarce little time (and energy) left for personal time. Exercise will be one tough call.

Continuing my Korean language education is a little easier (hopefully), since I already have the basics. Now I need that CD/tape and books to up it a little more.

And promotion, I need it, I crave every single bit of it. I am 31, and if I don't get ahead of the rat race, I am very much gone when I hit 35. If I can see the pitfall, then I should avoid it.

Energy, and a lot of vicious luck I need for 2007.

A little breath of time

2007.

I break 30. The plastic pig piggybanks can no longer be found on the streets of Singapore. I, finally, live opposite the school so I can sleep a while more, but I have graduated from it 20 years ago, and the school is no more.

2007.

I am sitting on the banks of the milandering river of time. The peace around me lulls me from moving. The sunlight too peaceful and warm, my little daughter and my lovely wife shares my joy. But the world has moved, promising to plunge my world of peace into dark chaos when I hit the magical 35. My country no longer has space nor love for experience, which now is "baggage". I should move.

2007.

Let me have strength and courage to move. The path has been set, I have only been procastinating. It shall be, then. A little more time management, a little more strength, let me set my path straight. Forgive me for all my procastination for 30 years of time.

Let it all, begin.
