I’ve drawn up realistic and serious-sounding plans for 2009 and thereafter (in case i can’t fulfil everything in the 365 days of 2009). I just need Halim to push me. I need to act serious.

I’m going to get my driving license (and still maintain my professional passenger status), attend the mandatory marriage course and be certified fit for marriage, take sewing classes before my dad continues nagging at me just because i’ve bought a sewing machine and can’t do anything beyond plugging it in to the socket, resume religious classes and mengaji too, start a part-time degree course, and the rest i can’t be bothered to mention here. Oh you know, things like losing weight and learning to cook aesthetically acceptable and gustatorily pleasing dishes. Oh i’m mentioning it after all.

I’m going on night shift today til Monday. No, no more sick leaves. I’ve just about recovered from a horrible bout of diarrhoea where i had to wake up every hour of the night to go to the toilet and my anus was very very very sore by then.
