Things to do in 2009

I've so many things running wild in my monkey head about things to do in 2009. Here are things, not in particular order but it is a list of idea I want to do and accomplish in 2009 and I will keep adding some more later when some ideas pop up.

• Pay of the remaining debt. It is the loan we (my sis, my bro and I) made when we started our restaurant, internet shop and copy shop. I've paid constantly since 2006. Few months ago my sister withdrew money from her saving account and paid off all the amount to the bank so now I have to pay to my sister, without any interest. I've made plan to get out of it by the end of this year.

the photo is our restaurant when we first started 3 years ago. I did all the decoration and my brother took care for the construction. It was small but cozy and we had lots of regular customers. It's the place where we gathered up with friends and family to drink, chat and play.. I love the atmosphere.

• Invent myself as an athlete. I want a firm, muscled and athlete-like body. I have been keeping up with my running so it won't be a problem for me with working-out. But the main problem is that I eat way too much sugar. I nibble sweet things all day which is hard for me to reach my ideal weight. Today, I've started to go without sugar for a week. I used to be able to do it and I can loose 2 kgs if I stick with it. So, I am going to do it again and will try not to get back to nibble sweets all day.

• Buy a Digital SLR camera. I don't like the idea of buying new things of thing that I already have. But this baby has been in my mind for more than 6 months. I've been reconsidering if I really want it by waiting for 6 months and now the answer is still yes. I can't resist it anymore so I think I am going to buy one this year.

• Do it better in English; writing, speaking, reading and listening. It's my second language and I want to master it by self-study. I practice reading by reading novels, writing by journalling, listening by watching movies and speaking by talking to myself. I don't have anyone around who is native speaker so I have to talk to myself in English! ;]

• Travel overseas. We have planned to go to Central and Northern Vietnam in April this year. So this goal is attainable. The rough plan has been made. The hotel in KL airport was booked and so was the flight from KL to Vietnam. It is going to be an adventurous and fun trip again as I am going with bunch of siblings and relatives. There are 12 of us. My sister and I lead the team.. It's a mini-group tour!


• Run another mini-marathon. I want to join one when time permits. I love running now and I like to challenge myself to run longer.


• Take up new hobbies. I want to learn new things. I am planning to go learn rock climbing with PT. But not so sure if I can do it this year, however, I will try..
