2006 and the year ahead

Firstly a comment on 2006........

I was going to do a post concerning 2006 similar to Saaleha's post but I decided against it mainly because I couldnt think of alot the things I did during 2006 (No I wasnt high or abducted by aliens). So it would have been a very very short post not worthy enough to be viewed by the inhabitants of a distant planet whose idea of a fun/wild night out is a game of pictionary and watching re runs of The A team. (They do get our Television signals there). Ok madness aside lets get serious or lets not you decide.

2006 flew by faster than you can say "Wazoooo" say it.... see it was faster than that. For me it started of with dreams of medical grandieur but it was shot down (by wits) and finaly laid to rest in the boulevard of broken dreams. Sad as it was I had to get back on my Horse and begin a new chapter to my life like a phoenix rising from the ashes (Ok that was being extremely dramatic). So I began may law career and by the time I got a handle on it october arrived and I was panicking about my marks like an aggitated Howler monkey. But it went well and im enjoying it to my suprise. Briefly what else did I do hmmmm oh yaah I made new friends some I will keep forever others will fade away like a fart in the wind. One of the coolest thing I did in 2006 was start this here blog which rocks hopefully il continue with it. Basically 2006 was a blur but a good blur that I would welcome again.

OK now for 2007 which for me arrived not with a bang but introduced itself like a gentle breeze, a whisper on the wind. You could call these resolutions but I would lke to label them my 2007 personal REVOLUTIONS.

I want to:
  • Join a gym and maintain a regular workout regime
  • Play a sport
  • Try to learn something new everyday
  • Realize that work and studying is not the be all and end all
  • Take a break once in a awhile (With a kit kat if necessary)
  • Be more Friendly
  • Spend more time with my friends
  • Make new friends
  • Take a chance in life or love
  • Listen to my heart and not my head (similar to last one)
  • Try more sushi
  • Learn a new language even if its just to say "Hello"
  • Continue blogging :)
  • Start a new hobbie
  • Build one of those ships in a bottle
  • Take more pictures
  • Write more
  • Spend more time in nature
  • Bowl more
  • Learn more about history especially islamic history
  • Make things happen not let them happen
  • Be more confident but not cocky
  • Help others and those less fortunate whenever I have can
  • Read more (and my textbooks dont count)
  • Watch more movies (as if i dont watch enough already)
  • Buy a Playstation 3 (Oh yes thats like a given)
  • Get more sleep
  • Sort out my wisdom teeth
  • Bunk more than one lecture and a tut if I can help it
  • Be truthful to myself and other
  • Be selfish on occasion
  • be less reserved to people in general
  • Be more spontaneous
  • Make more mistakes not too many but enough so I can learn
  • Make others laugh and laugh at myself
  • Be a better person and a better muslim
Well thats all I can think of at the moment, my brain is still technically on vacation but will return shortly. I dunno if i will do all the above and I dunno what the coming year holds for me but I intend to face every challenge head on and make the best off it. Hopefully you will all have a great year! :)

Somebody help me, I'm being spontaneous!

Good New Year's resolutions "be less reserved to people in general", Im the same way I have always been so shy. Even before I became a revert I was never the one to talk at partys. Even now that Im in clubs Im still very quiet. Good postin K-man, I like your new avatar!

taking more chances,eating more sushi and making things happen, sorta typified 2006 for me, and it worked out fine. lots of drama, yes, but who wants to live sedated? :)

hope 2007 rocks for you:)

Junaid said...

hey, k-man. hope you get through your list for 2K7. Oh and some advice: being spontaneous takes lots of planning, so get a pda.

MasterOfChi said...

well - heres another few terms for you -
'maurishaani' - 'hello' which is replied with 'wereno'. this is Bembe- a native language of Zambia. as for a phrase you can really use in public -here's a portuguese line i picked up in nandos ( ok - actually my mate taught it to me)
'Meta se Linga Le Dentre Mi Que'
best to abstain from using it in front of guys older than fourteen or heavier than sixt kilos- whichever comes first
peace - and all the best for this year son
