Happy New Year!!

So, another NYE has come and gone.  This year's was a low key affair - went to a barbecue at a friend's apartment near the city.  It was a casual and relaxed affair, a perfect way to cruise into 2011. 

Some resolutions I have made for the new year:
- Make some use of the gym membership, other than to use the iron in the changing room (Rule #1: Cardio)
- Learn the basics of a foreign language
- Lose 1 clothing size
- Learn to cook, host a dinner party
- Make more effort to discover interesting things

Zombieland was playing on the tv last night - I really rate it! While the Zombieland list of rules is really about survival, I think a similar list can equally apply to normal life (sans zombies). That is, rules to define how you should act in life (based on your previous experience and interpretation of other peoples ideas and experiences), and where necessary, the rules should be updated based on new experiences or understanding. I have just realised that I have just described the concept of authoring self-help books!  Haha.  Disregarding that fact, I still think it's an interesting exercise.
