The End of the Past, and the Beginning Of a New Year

Ini trendy punya event. Setiap kali hujung tahun, meaning hari last sesuatu tahun tu, maka setiap orang akan mula reflect balik pada the whole year and analyzed the achievements or sadly the failures that occurred throughout the year. Malangnya, sepanjang 22 tahun hidup ni, saya tak pernah pun buat list azam tahun ini.

Selalunya dulu2, bila ditanya apa azam baru maka jawapan yang cliche wajib saya bagi adalah...

"to be better than before."

Aiya. That's...too general and perhaps too cowardly maybe. So, tahun depan (esoknya) I want to change. Change to a more specific list of new determination (azam?) that I want to accomplish by the end of 2012. I'll print it and tick whichever that achieved at times. Influence to do so? Blogger nama Lucius Maximus (a very wise man) dan juga abang sulung saya. He said, numerously,

"life kena ada target. Dalam 5 tahun lagi apa akan ada? Masuk ofis, target hari ni apa nak setel? Penting target tu. Adanya target, baru ada motivation to fulfill it."

So true.

Anyway, this is my list of things to be achieved in the year of 2012. Some of them are serious, some are like "seriously? itu pun target ke?". Anyway, here it is.

1. Memastikan yang solat wajib 5 waktu itu lebih terjaga kebajikannya. Saya ni pemalas, saya ni pelupa. Saya bukannya alim.

2. Lebih kerap telefon mak dan abah. Selalunya mereka yang telefon dulu. Tak bagus, tak bagus.

3. Menamatkan pengajian Ijazah Sarjanamuda Kimia di UKM tersayang ini. Meaning, berusaha bersungguh- sungguh pada sem akhir ini. Insyallah.

4. Menghadiri sekurang- kurangnya TIGA (3) majlis ceramah agama. Ya, 3 saja minimum. The more, the better.

5. Menghabiskan minimum ENAM (6) buah buku bacaan sepanjang tahun 2012 ini. Bermakna puratanya sebuah buku dalam 2 bulan. Again, the more the better. FourFourTwo, Budak Getah, Naruto tak dikira.

6. Mengurangkan perbelanjaan harian menjadi maximum purata RM10 sehari. The less, the better.

7. Mengurangkan berat badan sebanyak 12 kilo. Meaning, puratanya sebulan turun 2 kg. No pain, no gain.

8. Mempunyai pengalaman bekerja selama sebulan minima hatta mendapat gaji pertama dalam hidup ini. Kerja sambilan yang biasa2 saja. Kedai roti, kedai makan, KFC, McD, anything.

9. To love my family as much as I should. To be a good friend to all my friends. To love her as I should, to care for her as much as I can.

10. Buff up and muscle up my body. Meaning, utilizing the dumbbell that I bought to the maximum. Maximizing the big body that Allah blessed to me. Again, no pain, no gain.

Okay, some sounds silly and some sound serious enough. Still, that's what I want to do and achieve in the year of 2012. Apa? 2012 Kiamat? Cool guys. Allah berfirman yang nobody knows except Him. Problem?

Looking back to the whole 2011...it was a year of mixed events and feelings. At one time I was very jiwa kacau. Next moment I am very cool, calm and composed. Some things I have accomplished. Some I didn't expect to happened at all. Nevermind, itu la kelemahan bila tiada list target. Tak dapat nak cek balik apa pencapaian yang lalu.

In the future, only Allah knows what will happen. I might achieve all my target, or I may have to contempt with some targets left unattended. I might as well no more breathing in this world. Who knows right? We meager human can only plan while He is the one who make it happen.

Special mention, thanks to my dear for your presence in my life. You had brought a new dimension to my life=)

Anyway, Happy New Year. Selamat Menyambut Tahun 2012=))
