My 2008

It’s the last day of the year 2008.

I still remember how cumbersome it was to keep reminding myself that it is 2008 not 2007 still.

It was an okay year.

I had one too many crushes but so long with those! I so need to get over that part of growing up.

Too many times I got overly angry over nothingness. That’s something I need to tackle in this coming new year.

I did my dream vacation and went to London-Rome-Florence-Pisa-Venice-Verona-Milan-Paris-Manchester-London.

I went to Bangkok with my Sister, my Mom and my Granny. Definitely something I want to do again soon.

I finally made my trip to see China for the very first time in my life.

I participated in my first nuffnang organised event.

I quit my job and got a new one.

I finally can do a supported headstand without wall support.

My resolutions this year will be specific and very goal-oriented.
1) PIANO – I will take up piano by practicing on my own and hopefully by late 2009, I will be prepared to get on the piano lessons bandwagon again.
2) TRAVEL – I have Cambodia and Vietnam I must conquer this year.
3) TRAVEL – I must have my backpacking trip to US planned & booked, if not already completed by end 2009
4) FINANCES – I must have a solid stash of $X in my bank account by June 2009.
5) WEIGHT – I am now X6 kg and I must be X0kg by December 2009 = 6kg to lose!!
6) CAREER – I must work for a $500 pay increment by December 2009. New job or not, doesn’t matter.
7) YOGA – Tripod Headstand and Scorpion pose by end 2009
8) FAMILY – Spend more time with them in KL/JB (i.e.: Go back as often as possible)

Ok that’s about it for now. 8 resolutions for a prosperous new year. :)

To end this entry, this is how I look like on the last day of 2008. I shall compare when the last day of 2009 comes by. Hope you and I will still be here, I writing, you reading. :)

Happy New Year Everyone!
