This comes in later than previous years… Too occupied with other things - things that are more fun than blogging. LOL! Yes, lots of them, I will share later…
These were my 2008 new year resolution:
Visit dentist twice (Ian and myself)
Brush Ian’s teeth twice a day
Cook more often (ahem!)
Work out with kids during weekends
Read (and clear!) at least 15 books I’ve bought
Teach Ian read time
Keep spending within 90% of what is budgetted
Get a copy of Women & Money
Let’s see what’s the achievements…
Visit dentist twice - FAILED. Only visited once and finished using my 2008 budget… that is because I went to do whitening. LOLO! Never mind, this year should be okay gua?
Brush Ian’s teeth twice a day - CHECKED. After moving to the new house, this is even easier to achieve!
Cook more often - CHECKED. This year, less travel budgt, more working from home, I managed to cook more, but not regularlly. After moving to the new house, I started to cook ‘normal meals’, like rice and soup, etc. Hehehe, so far, so good.
Work out with kids during weekends - Okay…. Not so much, until we moved in. Hope this is not hangat-hangat tahi ayam. I brought them to pool once a while and then cycling too.
Read (and clear!) at least 15 books I’ve bought - CHECKED. Well, I don’t keep track, so just checked from this blog, and I counted 13 English books, and I remember reading a few Chinese junk books at my mom’s place. Hehehe, ngam-ngam passed!
Teach Ian read time - FAILED. Sigh! Is my problem, I have been lazy. :p
Keep spending within 90% of what is budgetted - FAILED. LOL! I failed this one miserably. I did NOT even have a budget. :p
Get a copy of Women & Money - FAILED. Intentionally. After checking out the detail, decided not to buy it.
That gives me total score of 4 out of 8, worse than last year.
As for 2009, what’s my resolution? I am too lazy to think of, but it is after all a good thing to do, and to do a review every eyar…
To swim or cycle, at last 3 times a week
Read at least 1 book a month
Teach Ian read time
Buy at least 1 new clothes per month
Ya, I know buying 1 clothes a month sounds ridiculous. But seriously, I have no clothes to wear. Not the usual one where you think “all women complaint about no clothes but they have lots of pieces in their wardrobe”. In my case, almost everyone noticed that I have no nice clothes. It looks really bad on me, when there is function, or even in the office. I have decided that I need to invest in grooming this year - can you believe that my cosmetics are more than 4 years old? I just threw them away, and have nothing to put on my face if there is a function. LOL! I actually borrowed cosmetics from my young cousin for the last Christmas party! :p
Anyway, a belated HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all who visit my blog. May you have a prosperous and great year ahead!
