Many ideas but none expressed

I have been thinking up on how to write on several topics to update my blog. I have the ideas in my head but when it comes to typing, i just don't have patience nor strength/energy left when i get home. Some rest and checking on some things then its already bedtime. By around 10.30pm, i would be quite tired and eventhough i really wanted to blog about what was in my head, my tiredness got the better of me and i chose sleep over blogging.

Really felt like combining several topics together for this post but they are all of different things and even now i don't feel like typing too much. After a long day at an event in Setia Alam, i feel like going to sleep now, around 8.30pm.

That being said, i don't quite have the idea nor do i remember too much of what i wanted to express so maybe i'll just stop here and have a rest.

Halfway done or 50% uncompleted?

Out of the 10 items i set out to do late 2008 to be completed by end of 2009, i have just managed to accomplish half of them. Some borne out of necessity, some you just need to throw money at. I would say that what were left are not as important as those which i have completed, so in a way i am satisfied enough eventhough on paper it is just halfway done.

Finish renovate house
This is very straightforward, basically its close to a do or die mission. We were practically forced out of our old home by the owner. Although the completion date of this was WAY slower than that which i had hoped but we are all glad that we are now living in a place of our own. In the process of accomplishing this, i have actually got another task shot down. Hitting 2 birds with 1 stone was great as that was what i had hoped to achieve when i started this.

Free from credit card debt
With the funds from the above item, i was able to channel some into clearing my debts. The unwanted distraction in my already bleak finance. Carrying a 5 figure debt from various sources was hurting me painfully every month. So i consolidated all of my problems into a 6 figure debt with a smaller interest rate. Longer repayment BUT got many things done with the funds. A gamble that paid off i suppose, i was in the red before this but now i have some breathing room every time i get my paycheck :)

Ipod Classic 120GB
A dream gadget which i had hoped to be able to afford but it was not meant to be :( Saw a superb offer but i did not dare to spend "unwisely" on personal entertainment. And with my chances of getting it from lucky draws from those events which i occasionally attended previously cut down to just courses, i don't think i will be able to achieve this at all.

New Digicam
After seeing my third Canon Powershot series camera failing me, i vowed to NEVER buy a Canon anymore. I did some research and got some advice from friends and i was pointed to 1 direction brand ie Panasonic. With a new brand in mind, i searched for a suitable model and found a model which was in the region of my budget. The target model which i wanted was actually going to be obsolete and i was directed to get its replacement model which i did and am satisfied with it although i have found some flaws with th design of the camera. There are of course ways to compensate for that.

New Handphone
Things like to be in trend i suppose, my handphone was showing signs that it was not going to last for too long, going the same path of my digicam =_= It was also a trend to get touchscreen phones. The most popular of which would be the Nokia 5800 which unfortunately was owned by 3 of my lunch partners by the time i had enough money to go get it. So i had to search for a different phone which was still within my budget and have all the requirements for my phone "upgrade". After much advise and process of elimination, i got a HTC Touch 3G, RM100 cheaper than Nokia 5800 XD

New Videocam
My philosophy on this matter is that a digicam is meant for photos and videocams are meant for videos. So eventhough the manufacturers claim that each can do the job of the other at acceptable quality but i just don't buy that DESPITE the fact that there was a music video shot with a DSLR with "superb" video quality. Like i said, if each can do the other's job fine then why still make 2 types gadgets? This was then deemed surplus by me as i could not justify on the number of usage i could get out of it in 1 year, so i gave this one up quite early on.

Repair ALL my car problems
I have some money saved up for another usage so this would have to be postponed to hopefully before CNY. I would like to see my car in good condition again come CNY 2010 :) that is after i have used the money for its intended purpose and hopefully its before CNY.

Say Goodbye
SIGH ... This have been a huge headache all year round. It was actually made harder when i found out that what i knew was actually 100% wrong ... Now i really don't get women. @_@

To weigh <= 75kg
Goddamit, i was so damned close. I was less than 80kg in the first half of 2009 but then i got back up to over 80kg. It is actually totally bizarre as i EVERYONE that i know claimed that i looked thinner but it sure as hell do no explain why i am gaining weight again!!! GRRRR ... so frustrating.

Wake up from fantasy dreamland
This was a tough one. Although i claim to be only half awake by April but i was completely thrown off my bed and dream in December. It was never meant to be at all, i was told. I suppose i cannot not give up given the fact that i am trailing behind counted with light years.

So that was basically 2009 for me, 2010 does not look so good just before it arrived, 2 colleagues of mine left the company and the SHIT left behind will be taken up by your's truly. Its shit because its full of shit to begin with and it ended as a bigger pile of shit which was brought up to the attention of higher Management.
