It seems weird to talk about new year,resolutions and 'looking back' now 'cause the excitement of starting new year has already die off and I should be working hard to fulfill those resolutions I set for myself in this brand new year. But I really didn't have the time to sit down and think that hard on how I want 2011 to be.
I looked back at the past few years "last post" and "first post" of the year and I realised I never did had a specific and proper new year resolution written down before. So which means, at least to me, I have not achieved much in 2010. However I did notice something starting from 2008/2009, one of my new year resolution is to get a new job. Thereafter, I mention it almost every year and I bet in one of those few entries within those years as well. That's why it's not in my list anymore this year 'cause I'm starting to not trust myself on this. Therefore instead of saying "What I have achieved in 2010", I would rather say:
What I have not done in 2010:
. A new career
. Driving license
.Save money
But until the other day when I was somewhere travelling either on the bus or train, I decided to pen down my resolution for 2011. Not too many but it's enough to call it a list.
What I want to do in 2011:
.Focus on God's word.
.Memorise bible verses
.Register to get my driving license
.Work out more. (3-4 times a week)
.Healthier diet.
.Lose 5 kg within 3 monthes and keep lean and fit.
.Proper sleeping timing
.Get the business started (In discussion phase)
.Read as many books I can
.Re-vamp my wardrobe
.Try to spend more time with family and friends
I had a good start with re-vamping my wardrobe. Gave away some "brand new" t-shirts which I bought since poly days and 2 bags to his cousins. You know how some bags just by one look it's shouting at you... "Hello! you have passed the time!". And it's bye. There are really lots more to clear. I'm gonna pack and sell them at the flea market with Emilie. Soon.
Something which I really did in 2010 was to meet up often with some of my friends. It wasn't really one of my resolution at the start of the year. It was only after my Belgium trip in June that I really put in more effort to make lunch, dinner and chill out sessions possible. Seriously it's only when you are faraway alone, you start to realise what you have been missing out or neglecting all this while. In 2011, I hope to be meeting more of my other friends.
As I was typing my list above, I wanted to include "save money". But I have given up as much hope as I did for getting a new job. At the same time, I'm trying to re-vamp my wardrobe and shoes collection so it seems like it's not likely to happen for these few months. But even without the existence of this "project", I don't think it's possible. I will try. Does it sound not convincing enough?
I think so too. Nevertheless, I'll still try.
There you have it. My "first" post of the year.
Anyways it was great brunch at "Food for thought" and shopping session with Mei last Sunday. We spent some good 1-2 hours at Bugis street and bought some tops at a steal! And we rushed off to Far east plaza.
It's been raining non-stop these 2 days and I'm definitely enjoying the cool weather. If it's cold just pull on a jacket and embrace the coldness. 'Cause when it's hot, there's nothing else for you to remove on you and your mood just stinks.
Last day of leave tml and I'll be back to work on thursday. We have the day all planned out for later and it's more shopping! Talk about saving money. Haa!
The photos are taking too long to upload and I'm someone with no patience. I'll upload with more buys tml.
Have a good day at work friends! Good night!
