New Year Resolutions

Friday, January 05, 2007

I don't actually think this is the full list because I am one forgetful person and you know how things just flickered through your mind and then you siad "Yes, I 'll do it" but you just plain forget after that? Anyway, here are the few that I could come up with at the moment.

1. To spill my guts and go after the things I really want in life.
I have been really quite sick of myself for not doing the things I've always wanted to do, giving nonsensical reasons. I realised that reasons and excuses will always be there but it is down here in your heart, on whether you want to acknowledge its presence.

2. To socialise more
I know, I know. You will be saying " What is this girl trying to say?Is she mocking me?". I have always appeared to be a social butterfly (which I think I am not) but I do agree that I need people around me. People that can be called friends. And I do think my social circle here is very small and sometimes I do feel.... suffocated... like you know, I am in the middle of the circle of friends and the circle is really small... hahahahah..no, I am not joking.

3. To be nicer to the people around me
It's no point making friends and not keeping them. Then you shouldn't make friends at all to begin with. I wish to not participate in any bitching but I do realise there is a fine line between giving opinions and bitching, darn. Oh, I would also like to be warmer towards strangers, say, the cleaners, the food sellers etc.

4. To work hard and not slack........too much...ehehheeh
I tend to slack at times and when I slack... gosh I am like a pro in it. Procrastinating every single little thing!

5. To take care of my family more
I do feel like I am the "son" of the family at times :) and I would want to meet my dad again. No matter how angry I was towards him, sins can be forgiven, wounds can be healed. It leaves scars of course but a dad's always a dad. I do not want to regret for certain things I didn't do now later in life. Yeah, I do miss him.

6. To exercise more for health reasons
I have been getting aches recently and I believe I need a healthy heart. Everyone needs a healthy heart, what am I talking?

7. To join an outreach programme
I talked to a friend recently who ignited and reminded my passion towards helping others and I wonder why I havent been doing it all this while. I wanted to join the Red Cross here but just because they might take up my holiday time as well, I didn't bother to question further. ARGH. But he just gave me a number, someone whom I can ring up if I want to join a programme as such. I want to do it but at the same time, I think what's holding me back is the time that is needed. We'll see.

8. To save money
This is something challenging to me. :) I need to freaking save! Darling and I moving out from hostel soon! Please please please let us find a studio apartment........that is cheap, nice AND furnished! wakakakak

9. To learn cooking
It's not that I don't want to cook but cooking in hostel IS really a hassle. For one, the kitchen is damn far from my room. And sometimes you get people pouring noodles or what nonsense all over the place. I promise I will do better in our own house k hon?

ok. Thats all for now!
