Happy New Year!
Sunday, January 1sty, 2006, 9:53 am
So its now officially Jan 01 2006 here in America, another year gone.
I spent the new year at Mels Uncle and Aunties place with the rest of the family. There was the usual food eating, talking and game playing. We also skimmed over the 3rd lord of the rings movie, watching the good bits. Before long it was the countdown to new years and the traditional chin family balloon popping took place.
Melanie rang up just before new years and chatted to everyone, she was on the line when the balloons popped. 
Im not usually one for new years resolutions. My goals and stuff change dynamically throughout the year. I guess i could make a list of stuff id like to do though.
hrmm, ok, off the top of my head.
* Get a real job
* Get a savings account that actually has savings in it
* Start my own bonsai from scratch
* Find more ways of showing Melanie how much i love her
* Start drawing again
* Work off some of the XXX burgers i ate over xmas
* Dance with Melanie more
* Laugh a lot
That will do i think.
I fly back to Cupertino this afternoon, have to pack my bag soon and make sure everything fits in 
Leaving Mels family will be a bit of a downer, ive had a great time here, but then again ive got a project at Apple to do and high up mucky mucky people to impress 
Happy New Year everyone!
Happy American New Year to You…….. Here’s to a GREAT 2006 for everyone….. and if I knew how i could get in touch with you I would have rang you for New Year.

That’s far too many resolutions
Best to pick one or two, that way you can actually see them through
Nah, I reckon he has the right idea in keeping his options open. That way he can work on whatever resolution he feels like at any given time and feel constructive (Y) :p
I want to see Brett’s drawings!
Hmmmm,, PhD doesn’t appear anywhere on the 2006 list. Surprised? No not really.
Ma: You’ve misplaced the phone numbers i gave you?
Thomas: hrmm since working ive become far too motivated, ill have to work on that… must become slack again
Nick: My drawings are exclusive, only $5 per viewing, email your credit card and ill set you up an account
