the return of the prodigal immigrant bastard son.
my friend (who i'll refer to as marty) works in a renowned multi-national consultation firm. i found out he'd been working on a personal performance review which involves coming up with a personal development plan where he'd have to list  down objectives and resolutions for self-improvement and growth.   

i've always been averse to things like resolutions particularly because i have a fear of lofty objectives. i think it's cos i've always made it a habit to set the bar low - if expectations ever crash, it won't be such a high fall, no?

what's even more impressive is how marty doesn't just have to come up with meaty goals to achieve, he needs to set out to exceed his targets. tough act, no doubt.

here's my attempt at coming up with a personal development plan:

- grow 2 millimetres taller
- beat my current bejeweled high-score of 169, 920
- memorize the apostle's creed (just in case catholic reformation occurs in malaysia)
- renew painting hobby, use newfound painting skills to save money on presents
- learn another language (ie french polynesian)
- download the entire beatles discography including movies and greatest hits compilations
- avoid people i don't like, cut down on small talk
- avoid passing insincere compliments to really shitty performers
- master the moonwalk
