Regrets of 2009 and Resolutions of 2010

Regrets first or resolutions first? Hmm....its kinda like choosing between good news or bad news first? Hmm.......Ok la. Resolutions first.

Yes I have to come up with new resolutions coz after 6 days I realised that my current new year resolution (to read more books) is going to fail so hard.

This is the month that I should really be burying myself in books as the CPA semester only starts in February. But every time I come back from work all I wanna do is kick back, relax and rot. Oh and it doesn't help that all the books that I wanted to read are deemed "Not Recommended" by the Discerning Reader.

I still want to read those books though as some of them are controversial, and I love to read/watch controversial stuff so that I too can have an opinion about it. I just need to find that self-discipline to stay away from the computer and read books instead.

However I really have been immersed in the writing of John Piper on his website, so at least there's a start.

My New Year Resolutions 2010:

1. Feed myself with intellectually, emotionally and spiritually challenging reading material.
So yes it doesn't restrict me to books only. But all these head knowledge is useless without applying it. So...

2. To busy myself in purposeful activities.
Yes I must reduce my idle (aka rotting) time. Not only would I be able to be contribute in things that actually matter, it would give me less time to do stuff which are....."non-beneficiary" to me.

3. To learn a musical instrument.
I'm constantly reminded of how good it would be if I knew how to play a guitar or something. With almost my entire praise band away on holiday this week, I really wished I didn't drop my guitar lessons all those years ago.

So yea those are my three resolutions written in stone. Constantly check up on me to see my progress ok?

Ok time for regrets. I know we shouldn't dwell on the past and blah blah.......But I couldn't help but feel sad that I missed out on something.

I really wanted a Toruk toy from McD Happy Meal =(



Oh and check this out. I have my own pouting face Avatar!
Now I'm ready to choose my woman.






But if she must also choose me, then GG!!!

Even Eywa can't help me there.
