Its the time of the year again when you look back at the 2007's resolutions list and declare loudly what has been achieved, and what nots, then justify them to make ourselves feel better. lols. And then come up with a new resolutions list for 2008.
Get another programming certification :: FAIL
The aim was to achieve at least MCSE level this year, was pretty pumped up in the beginning but when projects keep pouring in, the determination faded like mists in the morning. Couldn't even find time to sleep 6 hours a day back then. I guess this gets postponed to the next year yet again.

Improve social skills :: FAIL
Absolute failure like my exam results in Chemistry. Didn't really have a chance to do that though since most of the days in 2007 was spent in Singapore. Facing difficulties in trying to expand my network circle with colleagues due to multiple differences (me being minority one of them), from my side as well as their side. Susah. Instead, I got to know more people thanks to Jacklyn's social circle. O_o"

Improve photography skills :: SO-SO
The initial plan was to get a DSLR and then futher level up (experience + 23,771) but then, something of higher importance kick-started, hence the purchase plan has to be delayed. While I now feel more comfortable taking better pictures in broad daylight, much can still be done for night shots. And portrait. And moving objects.

Improve on bad temper :: SUCCESS
This one, honestly, I'm quite happy about it. Through rigorous and intensive training provided by Jacklyn over all these months, I am now able to resist from snapping off or curse others all the time, especially when driving. Or release the wrath of Hades upon her. *Proud*

Improve programming skills :: HALF-HALF
While the initial aim was to better myself coding for front-end applications (C#, VB.NET. Javascripts, etc), I ended up being pulled into developing and enhancing data migration procedures and scripts. Diverted but still not too bad. When will I finally find the time to create my own super-application!

Join and win more contests :: FAIL
Ignited solely from winning the Convenant contest, a strong determination to WIN was reborn but faded soon after the Sammi Cheng concert because the results did not reflect the amount of effort placed. The once blinding ray of light dimmed soon after, I guess I just don't posses this kind of luck, unlike someone.

Lose Weight (10kg) :: SUPER FAIL
This one really embarassing because I think I gained a kg or two instead. Can't really blame me what since I enjoy eating and there's really not that much to do in SG for a person who can't afford to spend too much for enjoyment. What else but to hunt for good food loh and since the input > output (not shit lah, exercise ah), thus, the weight gain. Forget all the weight gain formulas, come and join me.

Force her to save more instead :: ULTIMATE SUCCESS
Initially, the target was for me to save more but halfway through, I found an alternative solution to better our financial stability, for her to save instead. My constant nagging has finally paid off, she has finally gone from credit person to debit person. I'm really proud of you my darling. Now we can finally proceed with our wedding plans, :P.

Less procrastination, more action :: SUCCESS
Do not put off till tomorrow, what you can complete today, this really helped me a lot since I'm quite absent-minded, able to keep track of things better. Not the same can be said in terms of work, because the load seems to have increased tremendously as work done = more work come. *faints*

Propose :: SUCCESS
Jed is engaged! This one cannot put into the list, else ruin all my surprise plans. It has been on my mind since early 2007 but was only able to do so around October, better late than never right? Due to this experience, I have gained tremendous knowledge in buying diamond based jewellery items. So, I'll be more than glad to clarify your doubts and uncertainties on your purchase.
