The final month of the year will come after tomorrow.
Perhaps this year is quite a fulfilling year to me, which I'd ever had. I
carried out most of the new year's resolution I planned although I have
discontinued some, some came unexpected, some never been carried out,
yet I am still not very happy also not to say unhappy. I don't know why but I still cannot find a very clear direction and answer to the best possible life.
So, still searching.
Here are the resolutions:
1)
Do more reading - did read some books, many articles, but my reading
speed was slow. Need to read more books and not facebook.
2) Learn to swim - I didn't know how to float at all, but I am now learning butterfly style after 19 sessions.
3)
Join toastmaster - initially it was a firm plan to join a toastmaster
club because I wana extend my circle and also improve my public speaking
skill, but I had to postpone it because of new plan to learn Japanese
language (with personal reason). But after completed first level of
Japanese class, I decided to stop learning it because of other
commitments although i love the language (also the personal reason has
not been realized, but then I went to Canada). I will join toastmaster, I
will, perhaps next year.
4) Practice meditation - I attended
meditation class every Tues early this year, but somehow I did not
continue after 2nd quarter of the year. I should make practicing
meditation as a lifestyle as what I do for exercise but I lack of
diligence.
5) Investment - continue learning and doing.
6) Save money - saved some, but need to keep life even more simple.
7)
Transform body/ six packs abs - successfully transformed the fat
botakman to a lean boy, but six packs abs still needs a lot of
hardwork....
8) Run a full marathon 42.195km - successfully ran 2 full marathons in a year (the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 29th Sept. 2013 and the Penang Bridge International Marathon 17 Nov 2013).
9) Improve knowledge and practice in Buddhism - I did not improve much, lack of diligence is acknowledged.
10) Family - love my parents and my niece more, I did it but I should give more.
The wish to go to London in 2012 to attend conference (self financed) did not come true because it was so expensive. But out of my expectation, I got the chance to visit to London this year Sept.
Future plan in my mind - study MBA, triathlon race/ Ironman race, but I don't have a clear plan yet. Currently I feel uncertainty for 2014.
What I want to do now is, disconnect from FB, lock myself in room do my reading and prepare whatever I should for December 2013.
