HopeList 2006!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Alright&#8230; it&#039;s time for more new year resolutions! As usual, it&#039;s time I write my HopeList 2006! As for HopeList 2005, I will only evaluate it when it&#039;s 2006. 2005 is not over yet!<\/p>\n<p>For 2006, I hope:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to add more colours to my life,\n<li>to be healthy,\n<li>to bring the CAP up even more,\n<li>to be as flexible as ever,\n<li>to understand, to listen, to feel more,\n<li>to not jump into conclusions too often,\n<li>to bring happiness to anyone, everyone,\n<li>to not wait for too long,\n<li>to do what I think I should do,\n<li>to continue to believe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All are not listed according to priority. All are equally important. Some people may just brush it off as &#8220;nah&#8230;. crap!&#8221;, but I just have to believe. All are pretty indirect I suppose, and are able to branch out into more things. Alot of things, summarised by these 10 in this HopeList. <\/p>\n<p>And a very important lesson to be learnt this year is:<\/p>\n<p><em>Higher expectations bring about greater disappointments.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Surprises are more pleasant sometimes. Of course, there are nasty surprises, but overall, nasty surprises are mostly due to much&nbsp;ignorance, to high expectations, to stupidity. So, why not plan for a nasty surprise?&nbsp;At least if it is really bad, it will not be&nbsp;that bad, because it is expected. If it turns out good, then it is a pleasant surprise!<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, same as what optimisation&nbsp;and run-time always require:&nbsp;Always consider worst cases\/ scenerios.<\/p>\n<p>Do I need to elaborate every of the 10 Hopes? I don&#039;t think so. Use your imagination. Feel. Touch. Hear. Look. You will understand. Eventually.<\/p>\n<p>And I believe.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anyway, stoned for the whole day today! Nothing on. All&#039;s not free for any swim. No one&#039;s online. No idea what modules to take. And nothing much to do at home also. <\/p>\n<p>I think I miss out something last night? After the distributing of leaflets, Eddy and I went somewhere Jurong for supper! Nasi Lemak&#8230; not that good, but still edible. Hmm&#8230; And at night, I have this problem of identifying places, and especially when I am wearing specs. Where was the place?? Hmmm&#8230; Boon Lay I think&#8230; the newly renovated one. Very high ceiling. I like! Lol&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>And yes, I received my notice to collect the coin. Since I opted to collection at the mint, I will have to wait till 9\/1\/2006. Within walking distance&#8230; haha&#8230; Yes, the 2nd coin for the series. 10 more to go.<\/p>\n<p>I still have a story book to finish reading, a short story to read, a timetable to plan, a room to tidy up, a few things to buy. That trip to Ikea, frankly, was a wasted one. Not all&nbsp;were interested to give that place a full walk that day. As Jianliang had experienced, I buy things after really little consideration. And I buy things without much consideration if they are for people. <\/p>\n<p>I like to see people smile. Never mind if it doesn&#039;t go both ways. That&#039;s not important.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe, I will go Ikea again, one fine day&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Oh well, Mr Law is going to charge me for webhosting next year!
