2007 Review/2008 Resolutions

Before I list down my resolutions for 2008, here is a quick review of my resolutions for 2007

1) Bring my mom & dad for at least 2 overseas vacations
Failed - Mom & Dad were not interested in vacations despite my multiple offers to bankroll their trips.

2) Install a Garmin GPS system inside my car
Aborted - Apparently this makes my car a target when I drive in Malaysia

3) Get another promotion (and a bigger paycheck)
Hmmm… 50-50 here.

4) Get in shape, and stay in shape
Total Failure. H.I.D.E.O.U.S

5) Enroll for either a professional certification or get into an MBA program
Done. But no time to study for the exam yet.

Here are my resolutions for 2008

1. Pay attention to the details
   Something I didn’t do in 2007 that resulted in quite a few challenging migraines arising. I have to stop this high-level hoighty-toighty manager bullshit and focus on the little stuff. The devil is quite literally in the details.
2. Do some volunteer work
   I swear I am going to start giving something back to society instead of just cold hard cash for donations. I will roll up my sleeves and read fairy tales to orphans or comfort the dying in a hospice. My spiritual side of life is suffering because I am slowly (but surely) selling out to Mammon Inc.
3. Get another promotion and a bigger paycheck BUT be a good boss
   Not only do I want my cake, I want to make sure everybody eats it with me - goal for 2008 is none of my staff to resign without having a much better offer elsewhere. I want to be able to have continuing relationship with everybody that has ever worked under me, even after they have left.
4. Exercise and get into shape
   Not to look good, but for the sake of my health and therefore my family’s future since I do bring back the bacon. I want to get back to 72kg weight and fit back into my 30 Levi’s again.
5. Learn to drink better
   I want to learn how to control my rage that bubbles up when I’m drunk.
6. Learn another language
   My (business) mandarin is now heaps better than most folk in Singapore/Malaysia. It’s time to pick up French or Hindi.
7. Start an online business
   Heh, I need some passive income
