Happy 2008!!!

Ok, today is the last day of my holiday :'(

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?
  1. A new job at a big local corporation

  2. A new boyfriend

  3. 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:

  1. Sleep earlier and rise earlier

  2. Save more moolah '$$', for holidays, etc

  3. Work towards getting a career advancement, new opps, better pay, etc

  4. Exercise more

  5. Eat healthily, meaning more fruits and veggies and less fast food and fried oily food

  6. Take good care of my skin, meaning monthly facials and drinking lotsa water, etc

  7. Spending more time with my loved ones ~ family, bf and friends

  8. 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!!!
