Today also marks the begining of a new year. The year of 2008!!! I feel rather depressed coz this means I'll be a year older. Really NOT looking forward to getting older... Sigh...
Looking back at 2007, I gave some thought to what happened over the past year. I asked Yaacob a few days back what he achieved in 2007, and he listed down his achievements. For me, I really had no idea. What did I achieve? Hmmm... Did I even achieve anything worth mentioning? I dunno... Do the following count as achievements?
- A new job at a big local corporation
- A new boyfriend
- Won an award for work
Only 3?? Hmmm... That's not good... Anyways, I should stop dwelling on the past and look forward to the present and future. Therefore, for 2008, I've made up my mind to:
- Sleep earlier and rise earlier
- Save more moolah '$$', for holidays, etc
- Work towards getting a career advancement, new opps, better pay, etc
- Exercise more
- Eat healthily, meaning more fruits and veggies and less fast food and fried oily food
- Take good care of my skin, meaning monthly facials and drinking lotsa water, etc
- Spending more time with my loved ones ~ family, bf and friends
- Be happy and contented with what I have
Realistic? I think I can do it!!! I can! I can!! I can DO IT!!!
Oh, forgot to add on the list is to clean out my ENTIRE wardrobe [it's gonna be a LOT of WORK doing that!! Just the idea of cleaning it is making me sweat] and sort out ALL the clothes which I've worn only 2-3 times and will never wear again and find out where I can sell them [eBay? Garage sale?? Dunno if the flea markets permit selling 2nd-hand items...]. All my clothes are in really good condition. I seldom wear anything more than 5 times. So, please, if anyone wants any nice 2nd-hand clothes in size 'S', please lemme know...
So, that's all for my list of to-do-things for 2008. I really wanna work hard to get myself in a better position in terms of my career. I wanna earn more $$ and save more $$ to do what I wanna do. I also wanna spend more time with my family. I am guilty for not spending enough time at home with them. I would also wanna spend more time with my girlies, to catch up with them often coz I realised I've been neglecting them. I wanna spend quality and happy times with Yaacob. And, I wanna spend quality time with myself. Yup, I wanna assign some 'me time' to myself, to catch up on my reading, writing, to indulge in all my past hobbies, some forgotten coz I just didn't have time. I wanna make time for all that. I also wanna have more quality friends. Quality beats quantity hands down. I don't need quantity, JUST quality friends.
So, let's hope when I look back to the year 2008 in exactly 1 year from now, I'll be able to tick off all the to-do-things in my list above. Wish me luck!! Wish me preserverance!! Wish me all the best!!!
