2008 chapter is closing very soon, it’s the perfect time to look back and reflect. Everyone is taking this opportunity to unfold the year, like Aeropama and Bongkersz did.
Me? I don’t need to do that, muhasabah is already my routine.
Anyway, I met my 2008 resolutions. It was rather too easy, except point #1, which is continually evolving. Not much challenge for a half ass expectation. I was a total screw up in the previous year, it explains the shallow resolution.
Those days, I wore a thick armor, shielding my ego. A smiley mask, hiding away untreated wounds. And a thick mantel, pretending to care about the world. I’m a fake. A fraud. A confused 24 year old brat.
Somehow, I’m glad I learned to put those behind and focus.
For 2009, I decided I no longer need a New Year’s Resolution. Instead a Life Resolution.
- To stay away from debt and spend money I don’t have
- To live a healthy and blessed life
- To shoulder the burden of the poor and unfortunate ones
- To NOT procrastinate and waste time
- To pickup a new skill every year
- To be a good listener and accept ideas
- To NOT be verbal eventhough it’s the anal truth
- To be closer to God and have a stronger faith
Time isn’t a luxury we have. Each passing second overrides the previous one. Before you knew it, a year went by. So don’t wait for another year to change yourself, do it now.
ps: Life Resolution, is not limited to the above. Continually evolving, fitting in accordingly.
pss: I spent 3 hours writing this. Gosh, I wish I could’ve been more efficient

3 hours? woww..u must be thinking hard..
Nicely written. Worth every hour spent. Wise words, as usual. I shall adopt your Life Resolution from now on. Good things, must be shared and followed, right buddy?
Happy New Year, my friend.

reading this.. make me think.. have i had a resolution before..?? Hurmmm…
Good things, must be shared > if my wife is HOT, cannot share 😈 ➡
You don’t need one, if you can work your way up easily. Only the weak and insecure soul would plant their hearts with resolution.
I guess I was 🙂
😀 Nice resolutions, keep doing well for year 2009 😆
jom berkongsi kaseh!
hahaha
i tak tulis lagi resolution next yr
yg this yr pnya pon da lupa~

I believe we can make a deal out of it. ➡
Sootsprite, wah wah!
Fuiyoh.. terase beb.. 😥 😥 😥
Confirm! I’m not as rich, handsome, good, tall, crazy, casanova, wicked as NH!
See… Sootsprite pun sanggup kongsi kaseh. Deym! :vangry:
Muhasabah myself based on your resolutions
1. To stay away from debt and spend money I don’t have – Still have PTPTN
2. To live a healthy and blessed life – I’m a smoker
3. To shoulder the burden of the poor and unfortunate ones – it’s my social responsibility :up:
4. To NOT procrastinate and waste time – too much online and melebam session
5. To pickup a new skill every year – it’s my passion :up:
6. To be a good listener and accept ideas – am I? No
7. To NOT be verbal eventhough it’s the anal truth – ermm… I’ll pass ❗
8. To be closer to God and have a stronger faith – Jaga sembahyang 😥
selamat tahun baru …

As I can think of.. I don’t really have fix resolution before as I am still a student.. Now, I really wanna work in the field that I really have passion..
Happy New Year to you mr. NH..
3 minit untuk seorang bace. kalau 600 orang bace..
3 x 600 = 1,800 minute @ 30 jam.
