well we drank we had fun but sorry i think the sides of my jigsaw has eroded over time and it hardly fits anymore. and it certainly looks better without a chipped piece tarnishing the entire image. soon it'll be discarded and eventually forgotten.

So now, the list of resolutions for the new year...
1. To save $1200 in extra money by mid-March. (I'm $800 up, for now)
2. MacBook in March/June
3. 2 set of clothes for the new year, and 1 extra sleeved top for the month to prepare for London ($70 bucks)
4. Never be late for work more than twice a month
5. Chart out a life plan for the next 4 years, and if possible, the next 10 years beyond.
6. Spending more time and effort practicing Guitar (Grade 3/4 by September) and revising Japanese (at least 2 x 40 min sessions for each) (JLPT 2 at the end of this year? hahaha)
7. Being around at home more often (Cook for my family, master a few dishes)
8. Making TH Camp work, and maybe, the 'social enterprise' I just thought of today
9. Spending more free time with my buddies (Go travelling, learn tennis, cable-ski, go kayaking etc.)
10. Going back to the books, having more rest and more time for marathon training.

I think I would call myself more of a visionary than a realist. Sudden surges of inspiration are not uncommon to me. Just today I spent the entire day charting out plans for a social enterprise for the intellectually disabled that I eventually thought was impractical, considering the amount of free time that I have for myself.
Despite so, I believe that we should not stop dreaming. It's dreams that eventually transmute to reality. The plan was impractical because of the amount of time that I have for myself. Therefore, I should work to solve the problem.
Hence, I have decided to quit work at Over Easy. Next week shall be my last week, until I find more time to commit myself to two jobs. I had wanted two jobs to stash up more cash for the trip in March, but it has taken away a lot from me (friends, family, japanese, guitar, TH) and gave me less than 400 p/m, in fact in terms of remuneration. I have been enjoying myself there, but I guess
With more time, I shall concentrate on:
1. Spending more time and effort practicing Guitar and revising Japanese (at least 2 x 40 min sessions for each)
2. Being around at home more often (cooking dinner for my family etc.)
3. Making TH Camp work, and maybe, the 'social enterprise' I just thought of today
4. Spending more free time with my buddies
5. Going back to the books, having more rest and more time for marathon training.
However, I've still gotta find a way to save the additional $1200 that I've set out to achieve this year. I've lost $70 bucks on soccer this month, so that doesn't seem like the way to go.
That's the way forward to become a more focused person!
