Ramblings of the Old Clicker

Time flies by and we are in 2010 already. Aydin will turn 2 next mth and not long after that i will turn 30. Yeap, the big 3 is finally here and now i will have all the reasons in the world to buy those big bikes, the small cars and err the skinny jeans oh yeahhh!. Once upon a time the thought of turning 30 scared the sh*t of me but actually its not that bad. i think i am quite happy with what god have given us and could not ask for anything more. Furthermore I dont think it will make a difference physically as some of the new grads already think i am at least 33...(damn u grads hehe)...it must be the wisdom..must be, must be.

Anyway i have been quite lazy updating the blog mainly bcos i got a few things going on and problem is when u try to juggle lots of things..some will drop such as blog, photography, golf but some will increase such as weight, waist size and toys collection hehe. That pretty much summarized my 2009 at least from the hobby point of view. Talking about weight, its actually not as bad, reality started to kick in during our last trip to Singapore early this year. when my favourite shopping place told me they dont carry that size in their outlet. This explained the comeback to the squash court, the long distance run, the gym and the workout dvds and so far i managed to maintain a decent weight but still so far away from my pre-wed weight.

On a more positive note, my collection grew quite significantly this year. I have been quite good with controlling my temptation to buy more toys until i discovered that the Bigbadtoys website deliver to Brunei and the opening up of the new Toys and Collectibles shop in Brunei late this year. The half filled cabinet is now full and i am running out of space to display all this "priceless" and "antique" collection of mine. This is indeed areas for improvement this year and i believed i could be more "lean" in my approach of buying these things and currently already devising strategies to link it to personal rewards for achieving some personal targets : ). Besides these kinda things will make it easier to justify to the Ministry of Home Affairs...*Wink* *Wink*

Enough of my ramblings and now to the real stuff i.e. my target for this year. I believed if you set your mind to do something, your action whether you realize it or not will actually lead to the attainment of those goals. On a second thought maybe best to keep this to myself but it mainly centered around the stuff i spoke about just now..weight, health, families, hobbies, finance, career, spiritual and travel. The key here is to make small steps changes and to be able to stick to whatever rules, threshold, boundaries, target set in the first place.

With that i wish you all the best and may this year bring more happiness and success. patience and wisdom and blessings from the Al-Mighty. Amin
