My resolution for 2010 is to begin preparation for 2012. As the earth is likely to be destroyed by some sort of calamitous event, I feel it necessary to begin construction of a small spacecraft with which I can accomplish the preservation of the human race.
treat life like your last 100 days in this world with all things you really like to do!
To be able to smoke a nice cigarette , eat a piece of chicken and spit some bones out my mouth all at the same time while driving my motorcycle on the sidewalk !!
to always walk into a building backwards during the cold and humid Shanghai winter, to prevent my glasses from fogging up!
On behalf of all women who have eaten themselves silly this winter I'd have to say...Lose Weight.
To have my portrait on the RMB 100 bills!

In the year 2010 2010, when life starts to begin There will be a movement of sillyness galore, when mankind reaches the core.
This core of abundance will titillate us all, and we as mankind will stand 10 ft tall.
So get ready to stretch starting January 1st, otherwise your britches just may burst!
To scramble 2010 into 0102 (the mirror reflection), and let this be the Mantra of the Year.
In other words, whenever something happens...whether it's the London Philharmonic Orchestra performing in Shanghai or the World Expo Opening Night or any "event" in anyone's life, then a visual and audio flash of 0102 occurs first, followed instantly by the start of whatever "event" occurs.
To streak a major Shanghai event...perhaps the philharmonic orchestra?
I don't think it's silly to want to be nominated "king of the world" do you? A lot of people want to just seize power, not me. I want everyone in the entire world, to vote "YES on 24" (24 of course being the amendment to the world constitution in which i become your ruler). For my commencement ceremony i want to have the London Philharmonic play, so it is actually a good gig for them too because i can ask them after the show (they could use the extra cash). So, in closing, my new years resolution is to unleash my true awesomeness on the world in order to have them vote me in.
1) Telepathetically read minds. Useful skill to learn. Just in case on exam day I need a reference from my classmate who is my walking dictionary if i were to second guess my intelligence. Or, when someone says "I don't mind where to eat for lunch. you have good taste. You choose!" I can choose and order the food that their stomach craves. 2. ) Bargain like a Shanghainese (being efficient on time and energy) Shopping here definitely like a bloodsport, and the shopping mantra here is "How low can you go?" 3.) Get my cat to show some love and respect. Its not easy! It thinks my bathroom sink and backpack is his bed, and when you say 'hello kitty' it looks at you like you're an idiot. 4) Set up a bagel and lemonade stand, next to the danbing/youtiao/dou jiang carts some time. 5) Get my drivers license here, and learn the mad skillz of the taxi drivers. If you can drive here, you can pretty much drive anywhere. 6) Wake up early just in time for taichi or wushu with the elderly people in the parks. 7) New Years Carolling in the metro station. 8) Germinate peopley with dorky smiles.
Two resolution i have for this new year:
1/ Have a big fight with some angry monkeys Jackie Chan style, and bring some bananas to distract them.
2/ Eat more nice food like chocolate candy, Big Macs, popcorn... Drink more soda and eat less crap like fresh fruit, vegetables...
