(Happy new year everybody!)

It’s the end of the year again. 2007 is going to end in like a minute but the good news is that 2008’s coming.

I’ll try to take over the world again next year, 2008.

(Domo-kun takes over the world!)

I don’t know where I got the picture, I found it in my computer. If you know the original source, do tell me. Domo (どーもくん Dōmo-kun) is the mascot of Japan’s NHK television station, appearing in several 30 second stop-motion sketches shown as station identification during shows.

2007 has been a pretty good year generally. I never really had a bad year before though. What made my year is the end of national service which meant more than anything. No reservist this year too.

Also I enrolled myself to a University of London external programme and am doing quite well there except for rushing assignments. Like right now, I’m still finishing bits of it here and there. I always, always, always, tell myself not to be last-minute, made it my new-year resolution 8 times, never manage to succeed in it.

And my work, I work in this small little start-up, things been fun but I haven’t plan my time that well. I’ve been working mainly with ActionScript, some Flash thing I always tell people. No one really know what I do in the computer. My mother tells people my work is to look at the monitor. No, it is not! Okay okay, it is, it is…

Finally regarding my friends, I seem to be making more friends. But then, I am losing contact with many as I am making new ones.

So coming new year, my resolutions are:

• Finish my one of my projects and end it
• Talk more to people I don’t already know
• Sleep before 2 AM, wake after 6 PM. Erm, it doesn’t mean I sleep 4 hours just fyi.
• Less than 1 Subway visit per week
• Retain my current set of friends
• Dedicate more time to my work, less time to school. School is going fine, work isn’t.
• And last and least - don’t be last minute

Have a great new year ahead. Cheers!
