Forget about resolution

It is quite interesting to see which of my photos are the more popular ones.
Take a look at my Instagram Top 5 for 2013 (Thanks to Statigr.am)

Saw an article recently on doing away resolution. I actually kind of agree with it. It also mention about a To-Do List instead.

Instead of doing a yearly To-Do list, maybe I should do a monthly one too.

January will be my exercise month, planning to reduce my meet-up and focus more on exercising...

January:
- Lose 5kg before Lunar New Year.
- Run at least 3 times a week
- Visit gym at least twice a week
- Complete the Photo editing for Nat & Ber
- Complete my 7 owls for my Photonics friend
- Complete the sewing gift I still owe XY
- Complete 2 chapters of "Networking: A Beginner Guide" book
- Write a To-Do List for February =)

2o14:
- To complete my Ukelele class (end in Mar 1) and able to play it smoothly!
- To start my Ukelele level 2 class.
- To weigh 67kg by the end if the year.
- To pen lyrics to one melody (even if the lyrics sucks!)
- To start planning on my cafe (a little vague, I know!)

Ahh... can't think much for 2o14. That's all for now... ciaoz~!

2o11 Resolution

What do I want to acheive in 2011? There are a lot! This explain why my New Year Resolution came only in the 25th day of 2011. 2010 had been a busy yet fulfiling year. But deep inside me, I feel that I did not really enjoy myself enough! Hey, we all wanted to have a better life every year, isn't it? Even though I enjoyed music lessons, performance or even emceeing in 2010, I still felt that my life is rather boring somehow. I am still not enjoying life to the fullest due to restrictions here and there. Hence, for 2011, I hope for a change!

Only 3 weeks into 2011, I am already involved in one of the annual celebrations/parades in Singapore - Chingay 2011! Special thanks to Ermei for giving me the chance to participate when I asked him. Its a great start to 2011! I will be one of the 'Gods of Fortune' and will also be the Umbrella-bearers in the Finale. Sounds great? May fortune comes to people around me this year!

Back to the topic, 2011 Resolutions! This year, I came up with the list of things i wanted to acheive. Here they are:

- Learn 2 songs of different language (e.g Cantonese, Korean)
- Learn at least 1 upbeat song.
- Learn a musical instrument (hopefully piano)
- Record at least 1 video (for youtube account: JWeeTV)
- Aim for B+ and above for FYP
- Take a set of photos on 'Donuts' (my flickr account: mini_donuts)
- Capture more captivating photos using my perception!
- Complete 3 short Marathons (Adidas Sundown, Nike & StandChart)

I also have a short wish-list:
- Able to slim down (I AM REALLY HOPING FOR IT TO HAPPEN!)
- Recover from my knee injuries
- Have a chance to perform?

Alright, shall get back to work...

Signing off

Mini Review 2009

     Its been a tough year for me... Juggling from school to work... to social life... Financially, i was a little strained... Due to the low pay, high expenses... To be honest, i did not spend much in the month of September through November. As my schedule was tight, i have little social time or shopping time. But i am glad that in 2009, i got myself some vocal training. Unfortunately, it is most likely coming to an end in January due to my school term. Next semester will see my Monday, Thursday & Friday evenings being taken up. Despite a drop in results, i will try to bounce back next semester! Nevertheless, i guess i learnt more about my vocal through the trainings. Hence, even if i am forced to leave, i guess i will try to remember them... (if i could) *haha*

     So in 2009, what did i set myself to do? let's see...

Lose >10kg (last year not defined),

Continue to score in the next two semester,

Get to go abroad,

Have people around me happy,

Have at least one great event,

Stay happy in 2009.

     I failed to lose any weight and i gained a lot over the last few months. I am depress over this but i began some exercise recently, hope to get it going! =) "Get to go abroad" - I definitely met this aim by visiting, not once but twice, Taiwan! With two different group of friends & two differnt itinery, i got myself different experience all over Taiwan. And now, i can say i am more Taiwanese!

     4th on my list is to have people around me happy. I certainly hope so despite not able to judge, i guess there will only be one or two unhappy when i am around... *haha* Overall, 2009 was not very happy one, but i guess i am happy enough when i look back at 2009. Any significant event happen this year? Yes, but i shall not consider it great. That was the death of my aunt. As for great, not remembering any! if you know one, let me know =) Thanks in advance...

     With 2010 being a potential year of changes. I have some new resolution:

Lose >10kg (Hopefully, i finally achieve this),

Get at least a B- in all my modules next 2 semesters,

Get to go abroad twice (there are 3-4 ongoing plans),

Able to control my mood better,

Make 10 different type of desserts,

Make more friends of common interest,

Have more adventures & MORE PHOTOS,

Get a job of a better pay,

Stay HAPPY in 2010.

     Wah! i have a long list indeed, i think i could go on and on... But its good to have an aim, isn't it? Let's work hard towards our aim together!

Mini Review

     Its been week since my last post. Crossing over to 2009. Its been a busy december for me. Birthday celebrations, Xmas celebrations, Photonics countdown & gathering. Just a december and i seems to enjoy alot within a month. Hence, i really been busy enjoying myself. of course, i get tired and bad mood here and there. But overall, i must say i did enjoy myself, especially the countdown. Putting 4 fun loving people together... posing for storyline... for theme... *laugh* we are turning ourselves into camwhore on the last day of 2008 & first day of 09.

     Like every year, its time for me to do a mini review... what i have done over the years & did i done my 2008 resolution. let's see...

Keep in shape to fit in my clothes,

Get into a course of my interest,

Change for a better job,

Stay happy in 2008.

     Of the above list, i guess i did get into a course of my choice, score pretty well in exams and have a great group of classmates. I learned alot from them and especially in HR lessons & presentation. We are great. (at least i think we are.) Overall in 2008, its a happy one, despite losing a friend and unpleasant incidents here and there, but whose life don't have? I did not change my job but i did get a better position now, my supervisor treats me good and even bought me a gift or two (though i request it before he left). I was really surprised. Thanks boyes. The only thing i fail to do so is, as usual, keeping fit. I actually gain lots of weight since i started school. But recently had been reducing or should say maintaining it.

     With 2009 being another new beginning. I hope that i could do the following:

Lose >10kg (last year not defined),

Continue to score in the next two semester,

Get to go abroad,

Have people around me happy,

Have at least one great event,

Stay happy in 2009.

     though some of the resolutions seem to be tough or repetitive. it is really what i hope to acheive. Its a brand new year, let's hope that the economic recovers and everyone stay happy~!

Looking back...

     Thinking back 2007... i don't feel any big achievement at all. Yes, i was promoted in June to become a leader... But that seems to be all... plus... my promotions was largely due to lack of options for my superior... i always thought so...

     Not alot of significant events that stand out in a rather plain year... wait... actually i can think of some... maybe too many things perhaps? causing my confusion... i lost track of time anyway due to shift work. There is 2 chalet i co-organised... XY's Chalet & KW's Chalet. Then i also did a few gifts for my friend's farewell & birthday... Get to know Nat... Then late 2007... there is my birthday celebration (The Amazing Race), Bowling Marathon, HongKong Trip and those gifts i received... from different people out there... some with great meanings. I also return to organising with the two chalets & New Year BBQ. The saddest event would have to be losing one of my poly clique... Jeremy... Rest in peace, bro...

     But when come to checking my resolution checklist. I failed terribly with a big 'F'... World Peace? haha i managed to do so for playing less Command & Conquer: General... but i failed to keep my weight at 60-65kg region... only get fatter & fatter... i also failed at my applications to local university... making a huge dent at my ego... haha... As for being a better person? hmm... i don't know if i achieved that... i feel i didn't...

     Hence this year... i guess resolutions doesn't work for me that well... so should i still be setting it? Let's see... what i want to achieve in 2008... I will have to work my body & keep it in shape to fit in clothes... & hopefully FINALLY get into a courses i would love to study... Changing a better job & hoping to stay happy in 2008, will be my remaining things on my wish list.

     Anyway, Happy 2008.... My dear friends...

2007 Resolutions

      Alright, its the time of the day... this festive season, i have been making wishes, visiting temple... praying hard... all in the common mind for that wish to come true... i shalln't say out... haha... or it wouldn't be true... if you know me well... guess you would know what i really want... haha...

      So... 2007 coming up... what i wanted to acheived huh?! Let me think... hmm... alright... i'll list them here...

#1. Acheived & maintained @ 60-65Kg...
#2. Get into a local Uni, NTU or NUS or even UniSIM...
#3. Be a better person (a better friend too~!)... not only looks lar... but character as well, i totally sux... haha...
#4. Maintained WORLD PEACE~! lol... if i could do it with my 'power' (Generals, they are attacking our land)

      I wanted to enjoy 2007 more than my 2006... though its unpleasant & still get hurting... its much more better le... so i really look forward to 2007... may you guys see a brand new Liang soon~!

2006 Resolutions Check List

      Yesterday countdown was kinda special... we spent our last two hour under the rain... countdown time on stairs... enjoying all the stuns done by Heng... haha... so embarressing... lol... took some cOol pics... and yeah enjoying the moment... we walked... YES walked the whole day...~!! A night in musuem makes my day... and felt so like a child once again... we love it much...

      But the last few minutes of countdown was not that nice as no one really 'count down' and its seems so unexpectedly that the fireworks is released in the air... but nice one though fireworks don't wow me anymore... haha... thanks to NDP 2005... Anyway... enjoy the moment together... may this last forever...

      Here are the resolution of 2006...

#1. Lose some pounds to acheive acceptable weight of 60-65Kg...
#2. Hope to get into NTU...
#3. Aim to get a driving license
#4. Repay all the 'debts' i owed to friends... haha... 'ren qing zai'
#5. Jx could really treat me as a friend and maybe try to find topic to chat with me?

      i acheived #1 early 2006 before slowly gaining pounds back to 70kg again... lol... #2 is still distant away... But thankfully, i acheived #3-5... Jx and i are back as friends... and its heart-warming chat during my birthday... i got back license in August... though skills need to be brushed up... as i said earlier.. i did my best to repay my 'debts' and i feel... mostly are cleared... so now can focus to be a better friend? haha...

2006 Report Card

      Just like in 2005, its time to recap on what 2006 had made me... 2006 did not have as much impact as 2005... More special even would be Taiwan Trip, maybe my Birthday... or suppposedly meaningful ORD Chalet & Genting trip... Just like last year... or maybe slightly better as in really slightly better than last year... as i have a job on hand with more cash flow... hurray~!

     : Most Touching Incident :

#1 Not much touching incident happened this year to me... all are pretty mild... not one that can make me cry... maybe the more notable one will be a recent event... my 22nd birthday... had a quarrel with buddy & friends... but end up they still willing to celebrate my birthday with me... despite the weather (rainning whole day leh... sad) & tension in our friendship... JQ even bought me some small gift apart from the Lounge 12 shared gift... something i feel surprised and a little touch to receive... Thanks JQ~!

#2 Oh... how can i forget about the scar i had... i scalded the back of my palm with hot water... The whole node show tremendous care for me... Dingze & HengGhee offering me food... the others asking me to rest... asking me my conditions... etc... i really felt for the first time in the whole year that i actually meant something (if not alot) to my node people... i think i did drop a tear... not for the pain... but the heart-warming reception i received... they are really my brothers in arms...

     : Most Disappointing/Hurting Incident :

Its not about once or twice ba... more like a series of event that caused myself hurt... or maybe its me, myself & i causing myself hurt... since no one would have admit that i am hurt due to him... or them... so ya... at times, i felt like i was ignored... or people doing things behind my back etc... then i would be sad and felt hurt... especially if people who are closer to me... ya so... guess those incidents really create a dent in my heart... not going to recover that easily...

     : Friend Of The Year :

Terence (could have been jin or hangming) - Never thought that he would be the one i selected... Since i know him from SI days... he is a willing party to fool around with me... those times where i named my no1, no2 & no3... haha... now no longer the standings.. though they still hold a place in my heart... my no1 Terence... haha... had a short chat with me in Taiwan... where i really really almost wanted to give up everything i have... its him that make me feel like... someone really know what i am going through... many friends told me they understand... but they only say and i don't feel it... i alwayz thought... actions speak louder than words... and Terence won it hands down... love ya *muakz* haha...

     : Highlights Of 2005 :

Guess it would have been the Taiwan ROC Trip... The outfield allows me to show care to my buddy due to the cold weather, not sure if he feel it lar... haha... i like the warmth... in heart when we sleep in the unimog head... Our node also showed care & concern to each other... so its really a meaningful one... R&R to me was special, due to some reason, i chose to go with another group... though sad, but never regret my decision... they had a happy R&R without me... so what could i expect more?

---

      To many, maybe i never really performed... both being a friend or worker... being a friend... i felt i did my best, its for my friends to judge le... i could say nothing more... being a employee... i had some ups & down performance but still acceptable... i gave myself a C grade for my performance this year ba... a small improvement from last year's D

New Year Resolutions

      Didn't really wanted to go countdown yesterday... but end up i was there... what change my mind? Dingze's smile... haha... firstly, i don't really like to squeeze with the crowd... Secondly, i wasn't feeling well emotionally during my guards... many things went through my mind... as i was trying to salvage my friendship during the last two guards... resulting in my hp cover cracked... remember? anyway... i didn't get to rest well as i simply couldn't fall asleep... But when Dz say 'see you later' with a assuring smile... That was a beautiful scene... a bit bian tai lar... you might say... but during the last two days... the 'Mr Wu' smile was missing... Its just so beautiful that you see your friend smiling to you... Especially great to see the missing thing back in action... Its that smile that make me survive till today...

      i eventually went even though i had a last minute stomachache... went to loo twice before i set off... Had a great time with the rest during the Hotpot... even though food & service (apart from that guy) was not that good... yet the price is not that cheap... But its the time together, i enjoy ba... i wasn't into crowd hence i moved away to be alone when the rest was watching the fireworks in the crowd... getting fresh air and thinking what had happened in 2005... the fireworks was pretty nice lar... hmm... Thanks Zhang for listening to me last night... it was really nice talking to you... We ended up sleeping under UOB Building around 4+am till 6am for first train... haha...

      2006... alot of hopes after a dismal 2005... lots of things to be done... and hope lots of things will happens... hmm.. let me list them then...

#1. Lose some pounds to acheive acceptable weight of 60-65Kg...
#2. Hope to get into NTU...
#3. Aim to get a driving license
#4. Repay all the 'debts' i owed to friends... haha... 'ren qing zai'
#5. Jx could really treat me as a friend and maybe try to find topic to chat with me?

      i could only think of this 5 at the moment... but this 5 is really important to me... especially #4 & #5... i will work hard this year... hope GOD knows... Buddha knows... and blessed me...

Reflection : 2 0 0 4

      There are many things happen this year... Both Major and minor events... It doesn't matters if it happened to my character, my physique, my health, my studies, my friends... it just happened... and affected my life...

      Since Sept 2003, i began my major Project... I had transform myself from a woodblock to a more fashionable guy... i shall not say that i am very 'in' or handsome... but i became better... Early 2004, many of my friends were shocked at the 'new look' and soon asking me whether i took any pills... haha... Its the biggest project in my life... and the outcome was really unbelievable... but soon i grew slightly 'meatier'... haha...

      Specialisation took place this year... i was placed in the middle of a group of genius... The class of photonics... They are hardworking... but they picked things up much faster than i do... It do shows in results... But they never look down on me even once... They pulled me along... as i struggled to get through... They also introduce sports back into my life... After years of absence in regular sports... I played badminton regularly, continue to run... basketball... I began to have a more sporty look with tanning...

      It wasn't easy for a 'White Chicken' or 'Teddy Bear' to transform into a 'Da Ke Ai' or even 'Sunshine Boy'... i was glad i did so... and i am sure many people around me are proud of me... I gained lots of confidence this year too... Being part of the only A++ team in Comm Skills... i also attained A for my presentation skills... I am still nervous in front of crowd... but i grew better... and i officially graduated from NYP in August...

      National Service had mould me to another person totally... I continue to 'shrink' and my leadership had improved... i met many friends and i also became a more disciplined person... From BMTC to SI to SDC and to 3SIG in the near future... i feel that things will no longer be the same... and more is expected from me, myself and i... some more unforgettable events happened in 2004 includes:

• Apr : Winning 2 (two 2nd) Awards @ 2003/04 sAvvyAwArds (Online Poll)
• May : Winning 4 (one 2nd) Awards @ 2004 SavvyNite Awards
• June/Sept : National Service (BMTC, Jaguar)
• June : Swollen face (earning me the nick, Chipmunk)

2.0.0.4

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2004 !!!!!!

     2003 had left behind a series of unhappiness where 2004 are bringing us hope. What is your new year resolutions then? I am pretty greedy as I hope for good grades, fitter build and hmm… *think* become a better person?!

     Many things happen in 2003. Things which I would not like to bring over to this year. Therefore, I do look forward to 2004. A brand new year with a brand new start *laugh*

     As 31st was Miss Diana’s Birthday, a few of us met up and stay at Diana’s house till wee hours before heading to East Coast to “do nothing”. We chat and chat until I really down, I mean sleep. *Oops* I am really tired as I slept at 1am+ (the previous night) and woke up at 0630hrs. I rushed to meet Siang straight after work. Too bad Jo, Eunice and Hao were not able to join.

     We took cab to East Coast. Then left there around 6am with 2 cabs. Have an unpleasant trip with Yellow-Top (Comfort). SH5337D. Hope never get a chance to see that bloody driver again.
