Have you written down Your To-do's yet?


Auto


Fluorescent


Daylight


Now, do u know why do i post up this picture? Actually they are all about the same thing, just that i set my camera to differing tones of lighting. But underlying from the the three pictures, do u get what this picture is say?

Within the 3 pictures, there's a common thing: TO DO.

I had finished my dinner and was walking out of
The Cathay when i spotted this gigantic post-it board. Yes, everything that is yellow and and the TO DO outlined in fluorescent pink, are all made of post-it notes. And the purpose is to invite the public (Yes, meaning you, me and your neighbors and my neighbors and maybe everyone) to pen down what are the things that you want to do, aka to do list .(click underlined for the definition of what a to-do list is)

And, of course, everyone has their agenda of things that they have to do, they want to do, they have to do, just that THEY HAVEN'T DO IT, because they didn't write it down. I have my to-do list too... Without a marker, it's really hard to be able to write what i need to do. So i decided on writing on a yellow post-it, so i took out my red ball-gel pen. And as expected, the difficulty of writing on something vertical, is that your pen tend to go off-ink very fast.



What i've written is shown here. But here, u also see the many "to-do" things that many many others want to do and probably haven't started doing.


"To bring my darling around the world" - man, this guy is soooo sweet!

Oh oh oh... he actually continued on to the next post-it in pink - "Get Married" (Awwwww)

"To do up my nice home sweet home" - Wow... is this written by the guy's lady love?? =)


And there are so many many more to-do lists that people have listed down.

Let's see.... mine's here!



Eh... cannot see hor? Let's zoom in.


There!! This is what i wrote. Man! I should have used a marker. But, this will do. Okay, it says:
a) To be an entrepreneur (Yeah, it's a lot of thoughts..... spur on by a conversation with my Accountant, Jasmine, who always motivates me, and spurs up my entrepreneurial spirit. Will blog more if it's really coming to pass. THAT'S WHY I'M WRITING IT DOWN... GEDDIT??)

b) Finish bible school. Yeah, u may think, "You haven't even start bible school yet, how to finish?" I'm really writing this by faith, u know? I'm going against all odds to fulfil this 8 year desire. And writing it down motivates me to make it happen. That's why my msn nick will always have this,

[SOT 2009]


It's to spur me on, believing in this vision that i will do it! If i can see it, i can have it!

And i've moved one step closer ...


By filling in the application form. Which i will submit latest by end of the month, since i need to wait for my leader to fill in the recommendation form (yes, there's such a thing), and then i have to go for interview with either the Bible school staff and/or Pastor, which and then... i'll be confirmed attending Bible school next year with a letter of acceptance from SOT.

c) Earn a lot a lot a lot a lot of moola!! - this is a wish of my (and almost every other person on this whole earth)

d) Stop Delaying la! Which means to tell me, not to procrastinate. **mai tu liao, mai tu liao** Which, i (and many many many others out there, be it u, me or your neighbors, enemies....) have this tendency to procrastinate. Which i'm still trying my very the bestest to stop procrastinating.

Beyond what it has spur me on this blog entry, i think it's really very meaningful. Because, a to-do list is not a never-heard-before concept. People know what it is. And usually people write down what they want to do (or plan to do). And if u don't write it down, ideas are lost for some time, or even an eternity (if u are not careful). And this to-do list helps us to plan.

~if u fail to plan, u plan to fail~


So, if u want to write down what u want to do, u can write it down in your note book, and u see it every day. If not, u can go down to The Cathay to join me and the many many many many... others who have written and are going to write, and are writing their to-do's.

For me, i wallpaper-ed what i wrote and i definitely will look at my phone at least once a day. This will remind me everyday and every other day of what my to-do list is.



And just right, what i've written is right in the center of it. =)
