Trivial facts: By 31 Dec 2007 – my blog got 77 posts. Shitty #7.

Okay, first thing first – old;">Review of last year resolution. I know I’ve done bad, but let’s see some statistical number. Btw, check this link for my last year resolution.

1) Financial condition.

Duh! A big no-no for me. I’ve spent recklessly and my financial condition is not in a better situation. Ain’t that worst though, because I’ve paid the debt and stuff, also I invest in life insurance. But still, as calculated previously, the money ain’t enough.

And the target by the end of the year is not achieved as well. I am working but I made RM2300 and not RM2500 as targeted. I’ve settled the debts, but I ain’t got no money to buy a car.

2) Academic achievement.

This is the thing that I can be proud of. I graduated with 3.13 CGPA, with Digital Electronics minor (completed without a flaw, yeay!). Even though I didn’t manage to get Dean List (due to the facts of the D.E minor ain’t easy), but I am still proud of what I had achieved.

Not only that, the target by the end of the year is also achieved with bonus. I targeted to own old;">a professional certificate, but I got two! Yes, I am a “IBM Certified Database Associate” as well as “IBM Certified Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Associate”.

So, if this ain’t a fullmark, at least I believe I deserve an A for 90% aggregates.

3) Overall Life (misc. things).

This involved a lot of things as written before. I didn’t manage to get all of it, and pretty much I don’t get many too. The religion is still deteriorating as well as the health.

Let’s see about the target: I don’t have obsession for Magic anymore (great!), I still don’t exercise regularly and constantly (T_T), I smoke less than 20, now I got 14 for the average 2 days (goddamn great!), I still not fully disciplined with the religious (duh!), I ain’t got a reason to prepare for at least engagement whatsoever (duh! I break up, remember?), and I just cannot be a smart-ass looking guy (I just love my long hair too much! )

So, bad marks.

old;font-style:italic;">Total Score: 1.5 / 3 = 50% = C+ kut?

Moving on, should I do a old;">Reminiscence of 2007? *sigh* Ok fyne!

The Good Things in 2007

• Achieved two IBM Certification.
• Career wise; going great. Learn a lot, and know a lot too.
• 2007 taught me about “what I am”. I realize I am a manipulator, a winner, a daredevil, and still, the best thinker.
• No more “ghost” haunting.
• New phones, new rims, overhauled ride.
• Graduated in time. With pride and joy too.

The Shitty Things in 2007

• Lost – my beloved grandma, my girlfriend, even my cute belly.
• Being bitter than ever.
• Three skeletons in the closet. At least I exposed one to some people.
• Involved in an accident.
• My parents decision to settle down in KL and sold the home in Muar. I hate that, forever.
• Completing vices. Even though it feels good, its not the best thing to be proud off.

Ok done. Actually, I hate to reminisce things that happened in 2007, because as far as I am concern with, the shitty things that happened gives more impact to my life rather than all the good things that happened.

Next, old;">Resolution of 2008. Let me get into the zones and start thinking first..

……………………………………………….

Ok.. here goes.

1) Career and financial wise.

I want to improve more in my career. I want to be a permanent staff, gain a lot more knowledge, being respectable, gain a higher “moolah“, and at the same time, being more secure in the career and financial.

Target by mid year: Be a permanent staff in IBM. I got to admit, if I don’t get it, I rather be looking other work. I need the security.

Target by end of year: Security completely setup. This means, I got some investment and savings (target – at least RM2400), I got some money to enjoy, and also, I am available for credit assistance in term of housing loan – maybe I can get the dream house by next year. Also, it means that I am not burned out for nothing. I need to gain as much as what I give.

2) Hobbies and Interests

Once upon a time, I had hobbies such as Gundam and Magic, however, I lost interest over time. So now, in working world, I consider myself as one without hobby, thus, life’s kinda dull. I am considering to learn music formally, as it was my hobby too once upon a time, but at that time I only learn guitar by myself. Also, I need to persevere my everlasting hobby – reading.

Target by end of year: Be a music literate, as well as being able to play an additional instrument. Will consider piano and guitar improvement. And also, I want to read at least 6 different novels.

3) Health – Physical, Emotional, and Psychological

I am not sure how to measure and estimate this. This is one hard area for me to work on. Physically, I am not constant to have exercise. Emotionally, I am not constant in doing the deeds for my religion too. And psychologically, I am a freak – bitter and sarcastic. For this, I will need to improve in all three areas, but I won’t set a target for this, because I am not sure how to measure it. Drop your ideas in the comments.

So, that’s it. Happy New Year all! I had a blast celebration yesterday, so I know this year would be a happy and prosper year for me. May this year bring happiness and prosperity to all of us too!
