The five year motivation plans!

My five year plan (2011-2016), in no order of priority:

1. Obtain driving licence.
2. Be a certified yoga teacher.
3. Learn how to cook.
4. Travel to Africa, America and Antarctica!
5. Buy my own house!

• Driving Licence: Just aiming for auto licence, hopefully I can pass on my first attempt by November this year. I just get so drowsy when I am on the road. My body somehow just switches off when I am on the road, which makes me a pretty good at travelling long distance. That also explains how I do not get jet lag on a 33 hour journey from Singapore to Brasilia :)
• Yoga teacher: Am quite addicted to yoga since December last year. Unfortunately, with a screwed right knee and a strain hamstring I am not able to advance as much as I hope. At the beginning, my hamstrings are really tight but it is really so much better. The sense of achievement of being able to do a new move every few weeks is quite exhilarating. Last month Ash threw down the gauntlet: By end of October, I was to do splits. Ouch! Secretly, I love the pain from the stretching, as what my teacher always say: "Enjoy the sweet pain".
• August 2011: Marks the first month where I will learn how to cook properly. Hence, for the next five years, I will be learning a new dish every month. Maybe I will document some of the process here. The first dish learn this month is Snow-skin Mooncakes! Awesome! :)
• Complete my seven continents travel by the time I am 28! Oh My Gosh, I need a travel partner! Please leave a message if you are interested to go to any of these three places! :D
• Assuming the end of the world is coming in about two years time (as analysed by the "planners") I think I may be able to save enough for the deposit. Woohoo can't wait to own my home! First step to independence! This gets me really motivated in life.
