Review: My To-Do List of 2009
I should have done this end of last year, but anyway. I am not a good planner. But, a look back, it shows how much things you “see” through this little to-do list. I am so looking forward to doing this yearly. OK, will add that onto the list: Do a review end of the year
Travel
- Make a trip to overseas with my family; either California where my niece lives, or New York/Washington to see When Harry Met Sally, or The Catcher in the Rye, or Woody Allen Made it to California of San Francisco and Sacramento last August!
- I would love to make more travel back to Malaysia and Singapore. I want to have more time with the local, to find out more business chances that I can do besides my main job. I can’t imagine having business with other regions if I can’t start anything from where I know of. Made it to Malaysia twice, and Hong Kong once. Wow!
- I don’t think I can make this, it would be great if I can attend FileMaker Developer Conference. I am not a developer, just for your information. I made it to my first FileMaker DevCon!

Personal Projects
-
Writing (projects): Try to start write my book that I wanted so desperately in Japanese. I have been imagining to write a book but haven’t started it yet. I would like to get it done within 5 years time and get it published in print. I can’t count this as FAIL, as I still am doing it. Might need to achieve some goal in a shorter time frame, may be.
-
Blog more in English. Read more English books before my English got rotten. Can’t seem to write more as I wanted, but I did. And did read more in English, but not in book form.
-
Read again all my old books that I bought. I will have to get rid of my books as they have been sitting on my shelf for ages without being read. #FAIL
-
Pick up some courses; financial business, journalism, or something that keep me motivated. I did. Critical thinking course. Wow, I actually have the mind to get things done, huh?
-
Organise my personal writing with Tindebox, so I have to upgrade my skills of Tindebox, and make full use of it. Keep track of my stories. #FAIL. Though I just started to get back to Tinderbox again. Uh.Restaurant (for the future)
-
- Reorganize all the recipe books that I bought. Index them and do a review on each of them. There must be something that makes me buy them. #FAIL
- Learn about colour of combination, coordination, and psychological point as well, if I have the time #FAIL. No time.
- Learn about interior design. Collect samples, data of good design, heart-touching one #halfdone
- Keep my wife’s cooking and photoshoot them, make compliments to remind her she is a good cook. She thinks I am the only one who says nice words to her cooking, which it’s not. #FAIL. She doesn’t cook that much for any photo taking.
- I can’t run business, so I will do my way from the idea contribution, from food to taste, and interests of targets. #FAIL. But, this is an interesting comment that I did. In fact, I started a restaurant inventory solution with FileMaker for a new client.
Financial
- Learn about tax, investment #FAIL
- do my personal accounting wisely #FAIL
- use my money wisely (do I sound like an idiot?) #FAIL
That’s all, I think it is enough to keep me busy for the whole year, if I can keep it.
