Well 2008 is quickly coming to an end here in Taipei. The comfortable weather that has been a constant blessing for the last month has also come to an end. This is the third day straight of rain, and as such I'm curious if they'll be able to launch the fireworks at Taipei 101 at midnight. The building management are letting us up onto the roof at 11:45 til 12:15 to watch the fireworks. They normally close it down at 10 for safety reasons. I may head up or just watch the fireworks on TV since Felicity is working tonight.
I guess I need to come up with some New Years resolutions, as that is the thing to do this time of the year. I can think of a few things that I want to do in 2009 that I didn't do in 2008.
First is to work out a minimum of 3 days a week. I have been doing well last week and this week on that goal. The next is to study at least one hour a day of Chinese. I have found that when I sit down to study, I use up an hour pretty quickly. The catch is finding that hour every day and forcing myself to do nothing but study.
The next goal is to get a job in Taipei. This one seems to be pretty easy to solve, but it has proved to be the most difficult. The job market in Taipei is shrinking and the requirement list seems to be lengthening.
The last that I can think of is to give up drinking soda. I've recently read some reports on the artificial colors in processed foods and links to several different medical conditions. The oddest thing though is that the artificial colors are petroleum products.
The only other resolution I can think of is to update my blog more regularly!
Have a happy New Years! Welcome 2009!
