Hello 2013

[tsubasa_en11]

and I slept through the crossing point of 2012 to 2013 lol but, let me say this:

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE! MAY 2013 A BETTER YEAR FOR ALL OF US.
(ノ´∀｀)ノ*.ﾟ･｡:*:．ﾟ・☆A HAPPY NEW YEAR☆・ﾟ．:*:｡･ﾟ.*ヽ(´∀｀ヽ)

I wrote in my entry on 31 December 2011 that I'll not make any resolutions moving forward, but now I think it was a mistake to give up totally about this resolution thing. Lazy people need targets and goals in order to grow. So here I'm again, writing a few 2013 resolutions and hopefully, really hopefully this year I'll stick to them. I should keep them simple and easy to achieve rather than a big leap from how I live now.

★~2013 Resolutions~ ★

• To achieve Green belt in Aikido. If possible, I would like to make it to Blue belt, but let's don't rush on this one. I need to practice more to be better at the techniques. :)
• To read at least 20 books. I've just counted, the accumulated books which I have yet to read is 19. Ideal is to read a book a week, but not to admit failure from the beginning, I seriously doubt I'll achieve that target, seeing that my speed of reading is like heck, slow as snail.
• To take up courses from Coursera. Not sure if any of you know of this site, but it looks great and my colleague who finished some courses here said it was fun.
• To pick up guitar. Need to look for a guitar class and hopefully can find a near one.
• Visit Taiwan. I have a 10-day's itinerary my colleague gave me. He studied in Taiwan so have a fair knowledge about the country.

I think this should be it, don't want to be greedy and fail later :D

Lastly, to sum up 2012, I

• got Employee of the Month in January at work;
• visited Malacca;
• permed my hair in the beginning of year, cut my hair in the middle of year to shoulder length, and cut my hair again in the end of year, now it looks like Rukia from Bleach XD;
• took Aikido's grading and achieved yellow belt;
• visited Cambodia (FINALLY!);
• adopted a stray cat who has 4 kittens now;

2012 was an okay year to me. I hope 2013 will be a peaceful year for me, a peaceful mind is what I need. :)
Kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegai shimasu! Please take good care of me this year, too!
