Goodbye 2007 Hello 2008!

2nd January 2007
Wednesday


If it isn't the post that was supposed to be the last post of 2007. But at least it is the first post of 2008 (after deleting the proxy post).

First off, summary of 2007. To cut the long story short, I'm going to list the number of significant things that happened. Some are masked due to sensitive reasons.

- Turned 18
- Received Open Water Diver's license
- Got rejected
- Retook 1 module
- Quit all the bands that I am in
- Thought of my future
- First puff on a cig
- First clubbing experience
- Decision to quit Poly and transfer to NAFA
- Met a wonderful group of friends
- Started proper trumpet lessons
- Gotten a MP4 player
- More new CDs
- More heartbreaks
- More ups and downs in performance
- Less meals
- Less time for everything
- First dive at Pulau Hantu

Bla bla bla about the emotional stuff. 2007 really seems so happening now that I am looking at it from the perspective of 2008. NOT. Like wow! More new CDs! Who gives a shit about that. And 2007 has been an angsty year for me.



Now for 2008.

Two days have passed. And already, my aims for this year are set quite high. Well, it really is now or never.

New Year Challenges:

Trumpet stuff
1) Extend my range to an A by May on my new embouchure. (Done in June 2008. But still can't control)
2) Master all my major and minor scales by March.
3) Improve my tone to better than before by April.
4) Manage the characteristic studies in the Arbans by August.
5) Improve my sense of pulse by January.
6) Improve articulation clarity by January.
7) Improve articulation speed to clear and even semiquavers in 120 bpm.

Diving stuff
1) Complete AOWs by May.
2) Go for leisure dive in Nov.
3) Improve air consumption rate.
4) Improve mobility underwater.

Other random stuff
1) Maintain my blogging frequency and blog content.
2) Be more active in doing my part for the society.
3) Be more active in conserving the environment.
4) Start exercising regularly.
5) Start sleeping normal hours.
6) Start eating meals regularly.

Sorry for wasting your time on such a useless post. =)
