being planned

there are so many many things i want to do. i think i've always been bothered by the randomness that life sometimes throws our way, and am always seeking to plan as much as possible to compensate for this, to control potential outcomes, to minimize bad long tails and hope - with some luck - to get in the way of good outlandish fortune. in my mind, it's oh-so-easy to end up on the wayside: a minor failure, if not a complete one. and to do so, i've always had a thought at the back of my mind that i need to dig up copious amounts of data. we might never have complete perfect information, but who knows what random tidbits one can pick up along the way?

so right now, the random thoughts filling my mind and some stuff i've got done/planned/sorted tonight:

sorting out my finances, checking out my total assets, how much debt i can take, what sort of house/apartment i can buy, what sort of loans i can get, eligibility criteria for local flats, recent transaction prices of local flats, indexing/labelling buy-dates on my books, sort out my wifi account, plan new year visits, plan meet-ups with friends, budget for weddings this year, think plan and budget for japan trip when the weather gets warmer, think of a good location for a guys' getaway and figuring out if the guys are even interested, list down all the restaurants and eateries i want to check out, figure out how to sell some of my liabilities / gym memberships etc, think of how to deco my room, sort out photos...
