2010

It feels like i can't start writing on anything related to the new year without reviewing the year before. So i better get that out of the way:

I guess the main thing of the past year is how i've made new friends without much knowledge of doing it. Yes, it is as confusing as it sounds. And it all started with basketball. Ahh.. basketball. It can do no wrong. First, there is the uni basketball bunch. Young people who make me feel young. And old at the same time. Then there's the non-Chinese basketball team. They bring out the competitiveness in me. I missed that fire.

2009 is also the year i won my 2 MVP trophies. And a gold medal. Sure they're not that great, considering one's from the uni sports carnival and the other was essentially given to me 'cause i'm friends with the opponents (long story). But no matter, i have 2 trophies sitting on my table. Cheapo plastic easy-to-break trophies. Trophies nonetheless.

Away from basketball, there isn't anything much i guess. Sad i know. There is the completion of studies (finally), but that will be slightly soured by the fact that the word "honours" will be missing in my transcript. And then there's the gaining of employment soon after graduation. And we all know how i feel about that.

But i guess i achieved my main objective of 2009, which is really to not get myself in vulnerable situations. I think i did well, 'cause i didn't get hurt nor did i hurt. But i have to say, it is time for a change this year. This year, i want to shake things up a little bit. Take a few chances. Fall on my butt a few times. Just put myself there and see what happens. Not just play it safe all the time, and miss out on opportunities.

So in saying that, here's my 2010 resolution:
1) Put myself out there more
2) Be excellent at work. Move away from mediocre uni days
3) Not lose sports in my life. Maybe join a gym if i really have to

I guess these are the main objectives i want to achieve for the year. Sure, there are plenty more sub-objectives and such, but i fear that they make take a few pages.

Happy (belated) 2010!
