New Year Resolutions - 2011

As the end of year 2010 draws near, I would just want to list down my accomplishments this year and things to be improved going forward. Yes something like a New Year resolution but I will separate it into two sections, Accomplishment and Improvement. In this way, I hope this will encourage me to feel proud of my achievements and at the same time to work harder on things that needs to be improved.

2010 Accomplishments:
1. Have cooked at least 3 times a week. My cooking skills has improved tremendously.
2. Passed my PM Examination & achieved PM goals.
3. Successfully sold many 2nd hand items through the web!
4. Completed the paintings for my home.
5. Revived my almost dead plants :P.

Improvements for 2011:
1. Stop Procrastination - I need to be more proactive and perform the tasks I have listed according to priority.
2. Time management - I need to rise early and go to bed early. To get to work by 8 am and get home by 6pm
3. Health - Exercise at least 3 times a week! (swimming and going to the gym)
4. Finance - Start a passive income channel (e.g: online biz, gold investment)
5. Work - Improve on my programming skills (NI SW and scripting)
6. Attitude - Improve on my self belief and confidence!
7. Lifestyle - Read at least 1 book a quarter & learn to bake cake!

Goodbye 2010!

Wow...once again, I'm writing on the eve of the dawn of the new year. This is the second time I'm doing it, which means my blog has been around for more than two years! Unbelievable..

Although I have not been faithfully updating my blog on a monthly basis, this personal blog of mine does serve as a diary for me where I can read back my thoughts/writings from time to time..Most of the time, by reading back my old postings, I can't help but have a sense of dejavu..to be able to rekindle my memories and feelings at the time and place when I pen my thoughts is a good way for me to revisit my experiences in life...

In another week or so, I will be in another age bracket, gasp!...This is the moment when I should take a pause and see if I have lived my life in a meaningful way..I think reflecting back of my life is also a good time that I count my blessings of the many good things that have happened to my life...

So...Rewind.....

In the early months of 2010...January-March 2010

I have visited some new places in the world that I have never imagined I would have visited..especially for work! Guadalajara, Mexico, a wonderful place for creative people! Nice arts and crafts, nice and friendly people (as opposed to what you may have imagined) and great metropolitan city with really cool Spanish-inspired architectures!

Stepped foot on California again, especially San Francisco my favourite US city apart from Boston! Also visited Copenhagen,Denmark during the coldest months...love the snowy landscape,not to mention a surprising detour that brought us to Legoland Hotel for free!I only got back home on the first day of CNY, where my wonderful parents came over to Penang to picked me up. Still remembered that the first CNY meal I had was McDonald's as most of the Chinese shops are not opened!!


In the mid-months of 2010.. April to Sept 2010

Most of the time I was preoccupied with work and more work.
Also, I have moved to a new office location after sitting at the visitor area for at least half a year! Loved the new place.
Also, attended my friend's wedding in KL and at the same time attended a 5-day training in KL on fibre optics.
Multiple managers visits to Malaysia, which means we're blessed with good food, plenty of tours around Penang Island.
Did a full package medical examination. My cholestrol level has dropped! Woo hoo!!

Towards the end of 2010..Oct to Dec 2010

My parent's home back in my hometown was flooded for the first time in 30 years! :(. Helped to replaced some furnitures and do some cleaning up, luckily things have pretty much restored now.
Final training from my Danish counterpart in which they will be laid off by the end of the year..will miss them loads..
Also completed my home's phase 2 renovation. Hurray! At last, I have a proper wardrobe for all my clothes! :)
Visited my sis' new home in KL. Be able to hug my lovely nephew! *heartmelts*
Finally,I guess the most memorable event would be this.



Yep,I'm finally getting married... :)

So, this pretty sums up my year 2010...quite eventful eh?

Thinking...

I don't know why but I tend to think alot lately...about my future especially..
I'm still not comfortable with where I am now, and I am still searching for my real calling...sigh...at this point in time, I'm still as confused as ever..not knowing what I really wanted in life...

Do you always have thoughts like that? Or it is just me?

Anyway, year 2010 is coming to an end...and yes, timeflies really fast..I really need to figure out my plans and my resolution for next year!

Right, time to get back to work...
