Last day of the year 2008.
What have I done this year?
What’s good about this year?
What’s bad about this year?
Any resolutions?
Hmmm. This year is finally ending, but it didn’t end much happily for me with the economic crisis. SIGH!
WHAT I HAVE DONE THIS YEAR?
This year, I worked for the entire year, with 8 days of MC, 12 full days of leave [due to examinations]. I got myself enrolled into a part time degree course in Biomedical Science in PSB Academy/ University of Western Australia. This year was a little tough for me with all the stress and workload. However, I made it through. I hope I can make it through the coming year.
I went for quite a few of sporting events, particularly the first night marathon in Singapore – adidas Sundown Marathon, which took me 6h30m to complete. I took part in my first New Balance Real Run 2008 and second Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon [5h42m, compared to 5h45m last year. Though it was like three minute improvement, it’s a good feat for me].
I bought quite a few “wives” this year as well – iPod Classic 80GB, iPod Touch 8GB [you guys must be wondering how dumb can I be, but guys are plainly like that! HAHA!], SAMSUNG Omnia 8GB, and FUJIFILM f50fd Digital Camera. Total retail prices for these gadgets cost me around 1673SGD. HAHA! That was quite a huge sum, but I love gadgets. My next targets – Apple MacBook Pro, probably Apple iPhone [of course, without contract], and my 1TB HDD [yes, your eyes ain’t wrong again; didn’t get one last IT Expo]. I got myself a new Crumpler Fux Deluxe 25L Messenger Bag which I saved for it for two months before purchasing it. I will save for a smaller Crumpler next year.
WHAT’S GOOD THIS YEAR?
I got my first Higher Distinction in school for Statistics. HAHA! I hated that module when I was still in NUS. I improved my 42.195km timing by three minutes [read above].
That’s all I guess.
WHAT’S BAD THIS YEAR?
A lot, not convenient talking and blogging about it online. I hope it will not happened again.
RESOLUTIONS?
I hope I can go gymming regularly, provided I can tolerate the boring environment. I need bigger arms, leaner abdominal region. I hope I can join both Sundown and Standard Chartered Marathons next year. Oh yah, of course, pull myself through my degree program. And, I hope I can travel overseas, be it a short trip or whatsoever.
Better me, I always hope.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, to everyone out there. =]
