2006 to 2007

Christmas came and went. New Year came and went. Nothing eventful, just watched the fireworks up close and personal on NYE but was kind of tired. The physical tiredness irked me as it was the festive season and I was supposed to be bubbling with fun and anticipation and enjoying myself, planning where to go, what to eat. Sad to say, for the whole of December, I was so so so so busy at work, I did not have time to think about anything. No mood even. Very strange as December should be a lull period. Sigh.

Into year 2007, I still have this feeling that I have not rested enough. Argh. I am trying not to lag behind my work as one of my resolutions 2007 is to be ahead of things and be careful, detailed at work. I tend to get careless and had some reprimands from overseas colleagues in 2006. Not pleasant. Can't be helped. Good learning points but I want to improve and I want to do well!

Resolution 2 is to be more sociable. I know I have become moodier and more introverted. Need to be more enthusiastic about life, events and things. Haha.

Resolution 3 is to learn how to invest smartly and make more money without working too hard for it. Invest, invest, invest. Time, situation and place must be right. No choice. Got to support my parents, pay for the house, utilities, my physician bills, transport, clothes, savings, etc, etc, etc. Sometimes this burden seems so heavy.

Resolution 4 - lose weight, exercise and be healthy. Back pain, go away. Gastric, under control but please do not happen again. God, please bless me with good health! I must tell myself to push myself more during exercising as I seemed to have settled into a comfortable workout. My muscles must feel worked out after each session - that's my goal!

Resolution 5 - Trying to re-discover my passion for music in guitar and piano. Gave up piano since I was 12 and quite a waste I felt. When can I start to pick it up again? Will I have the discipline to see it through?

Resolution 6 - to read more and more. I must and will arm myself with a book on the train everyday instead of waiting for the miserable elusive TODAY paper or make sense of WoBao. I must, I must, I must. By the way, I read this research study in SHAPE magazine that reading stimulates your mind and makes your brain work - guess it can prevent dementia or senile-ness!

Resolution 7??? Resolution 8??? Resolution 9??
