Last year, I did not make any new year resolution. My attitude towards new year resolution swings between two extremes. In some years, I think it is a great motivator, but in other years, I think it is totally useless. Last year I have accomplished quite a few things. My biggest accomplishment was becoming a married man, moved on into the next stage of life. The next biggest accomplishment is that I spent almost 3 months working in India. It’s tough, but it is really an eye opener. I haven’t accomplish anything after I move in with Pat in the last two months. Probably that’s why I am feeling anguish recently. In order to find peace in mind, I should start making a plan for 2009. Here is my to-do list for the coming year.<\/p>\n
– Have a baby
\n(Oh well, this one is out of my control)<\/p>\n
– Write the PMP exam
\n(hopefully, the company is paying for it)<\/p>\n
– Take CSIA level 2 exam
\n(I might fail, but I still want to try)<\/p>\n
– Get the hunter license
\n(I just need 1 weekend free time, probably do it after the ski season)<\/p>\n
– Take one philosophy course per term
\n(my challenge is to find a quiet study time)<\/p>\n
– Practice shooting once a week
\n(probably lack of shooting practice is another reason why I am feeling anguish)<\/p>\n
– Learn how to maintain my AR-15 first, so that I can try it.
\n(haven’t touch it since I got it)<\/p>\n
– Upgrade the WordPress installation in horace.org
\n(my blog system is really out of date)<\/p>\n
– Toronto trip in May for Leon’s wedding<\/p>\n
– HK\/Asia trip in X’mas for Mingwai’s wedding<\/p>\n
– More India travel (?)<\/p>\n
– Balance my TV\/anime\/movie\/books appetite
\n(In 2008, I only read 15 books and watched 17 anime and 45 movies\/TV)<\/p>\n
– Stop wasting time watching Fairchild TV every night.<\/p>\n
– Write blog everyday! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
