A bit early this wishlist is, since a wishlist or goals, is normally set at the beginning of every year, or end of every year to carry on to the next year. But now that I'm another year older and looking back on all those decades of my life where nothing much has really been achieved, it is better to be early to set out what I intend to do once and for all before I start procrastinating again!

1. Pursue further studies. About time I do that, considering most people my age or younger already have pretty high qualifications and having greater prospects in work and life.

2. Read two books a month. I have bought new books, as well as needing to refresh the old books I have. I really do need to start reading voraciously again, something I have stopped doing for the past ten years or so.

3. Keep fit. In other words, start losing weight. I aim to go down at least five kilograms and get back the shape I used to be back in secondary school. Which means more workouts, more exercise, and perhaps more slimming sessions, and cutting down on my favourite snacks. :-(

4. Get a manual license. Another long overdue one. Sometimes it kind of gets me down that I am not able to drive people around.

5. Restructure my life. In other words, start doing up a better financial plan and save up more for the future.

6. Publish some works. Perhaps it is time to start digging out all the creative writing I have done throughout my school days, editing and amending them, and then send the manuscripts to publishers and see if I can succeed in that. If my work gets published, it will be a dream come true, beyond my wildest thoughts!

7. Cook or bake a different dish every day (or the days when I can reach home early). Be like Julie Powell and experiment with 524 recipes in 365 days! See if I can turn this hobby into prosperity!

And the deadline? One to five years! I will check back this time next year and see how far I have progressed!
