Words of the Mad

Alright, I’ve never done this before, but heck, new year, new changes.

In 2008, I…

- got a car (sunshine silver Mazda 3 SP);
- was emplaced on perm employment from contract employment;
- got several credit cards (spend, spend, spend);
- got a queen-size bed;
- got a 32″ widescreen TV (and hooked up my CPU to it);
- got a gym membership;
- started drinking some coffee (Caramel Macchiato, Latte);
- travelled alone to Taipei;
- had less patience with annoying and/or useless colleagues and/or superiors;
- refreshed my memory of ひらがな (Hiragana – basic Japanese characters) after 7.5 years;
- felt more confident at work.

In 2009, I hope/intend to…

- read at least one book a month (repeated titles are ok);
- blog book reviews (improve writing skills);
- blog movie reviews (improve writing skills);
- go to the gym at least once a week;
- master my recognising and writing of ひらがな (Hiragana) & カタカナ (Katakana);
- be more patient and zen with/about annoying people all around;
- spend less money;
- enjoy my two weeks in Sanremo, Italy (on course);
- enjoy myself in some parts of Europe after Sanremo (or at least London);
- catch a couple of Broadway musicals in London;
- drive safely;
- read, instead of browsing, newspapers;
- blog more.
- whine less.
