New Year Resolutions and 2010 goals
The general direction I'd like to take is improving my wushu and fitness level in general. More specifically, I want to
(1) Do tunbei haodun or Ba Duan Tsing every day
(2) do a little chzhuangun daily
(3) train semi-weekly and get a solid hang of mutsuan
(4) return to previous habits that I found to work well for me: learning poetry daily, using the stairs rather than the elevator, solving Go problems daily.

As for my 2010 goal, I found an expression a few days ago that I liked a lot, "stretch goals", i.e. goals that are attainable but one would have to exert oneself to reach. That's what I want to do in 2010, in addition to my resolutions:

(1) Play 500 hours of poker. This doesn't seem a lot, but it's not going to be easy for me, considering I also try to study the game and work on my game.

(2) Become a reg at the $55 HUSNG level.

(3) Save $Y1 (this is a significantly more ambitious goal than in 2009).

(4) Learn to drive.

(5) Increase my strength: 50 push-ups, 50 Hindu push-ups ("Iron bull plows the earth"), 15 pull-ups, 10 one-leg squats.

Thanks and best of luck with your resolutions :)

Sure, a few lessons won't be a problem. I am pretty sure that I can help anyone with IELTS. Shoot me an email whenever you feel ready.

It means that I want to save a certain amount, but would rather keep it private. If I was better at LJ tags the one would be a sub-index.
