After nine weeks, it is still the size of a pea. So small.

When I was small, mum or dad would go on telling me to do things like, wash your hand before eating, brushing your teeth after a meal, drink a glass of water every morning, and so on. These were simple, routine tasks that I always remembered, but just never really bothered to perform.

New Year’s resolution I set for myself this year, is to get back to basics.

I am not sure about other people, but it’s funny how the older I get, I lose these basics. For example, when I wash my hands, do I really wash them with soap, or do I just wet them? When I brush my teeth, do I really brush by the gum, or do I just use some toothpaste and make a lot of bubbles then rinse them out? These are the things that people just don’t do correctly anymore.

But now, I am doing all, step by step, whether if I am at home, or at work.

I feel good getting back to basics, making everything thorough. People see me doing it, they also start to do them too. I really should have been doing so a long time ago, but it is never too late to get back on track.

My weight is dropping too. Everything is finally falling back into places.

After more than two months, I finally purchased my new desktop computer. I also managed to save another NT$12,000 by “borrowing” a new 22″ from work. It worked out all good, but it wasn’t good enough.

On my way to pick up the computer, I got fined for double parking. A NT$1,800 fine, ouch. By the way, it was my first since started driving in Taiwan, but compared to the fines back in Australia, NT$1,800 wasn’t too bad actually.

Stupid stupid me…

I am so happy. From today on, I am no longer alone.
