New Year resolutions for 2009
Hey guys, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!!! =D
I hope you guys have had a jolly good time celebrating xmas and new year. I had a pretty good time myself. Had some small family gathering for xmas party, and some relaxing time at a friend's chalet on new year's eve. Everything is good. I enjoy small cosy gatherings. It's when we can truly enjoy one another's company. Festive seasons should be celebrated with your close ones, be it friends, family, and of course, your other half. =)
It's a pity though, that I did not spend 2008 wisely. Not a good year for me. I don't know if it's the withdrawal symptoms from army? I mean, after I ORD, I seem to be just left alone on the crossroads. So I tend to get a bit lost at times. Looking back, I did not accomplish much. And then, most of the time, I let my mind take control over me. As such, there were many things that I have not done, people that I have let down. Not to mention that I spent most part of the year being jobless. It was a bad year alright. But I'm not here to regret and dwell into those past mistakes I made. Rather, like most people, I am going to make a list of new year resolutions.
Here is my list. It is non-exhaustive though.
Be a better boyfriend
On the top of my list, I would want to be a better boyfriend. I think I have not really done much to let my dearie be truly happy or proud of me. For this, I feel remorseful. Sorry that you have not been given enough attention/care by me, dearie. And sorry for doing those things that irritate you, and being insensitive towards your needs and wants. Hopefully, I can start afresh this new year and strengthen the strings of our relationship k? Of course I would always need your encouragement and support, to which I know you have always given me. I look forward to a better, stronger, improved, and happier relationship with you. :)
Be more organised and flexible
Next, I want to be more organised, yet flexible at the same time. What this means is, I need to be more disciplined in planning my time out. Every minute counts. I have lost too much time to procrastination. It is now time for me to organise my time well. That was why I bought an organiser. At the same time, I would want to be more flexible. I need to prioritise my time well, and yet attend to things in a flexible fashion. Be it in thinking or otherwise. I have never believed in a one-sided coin anyway. Having that said, I have to draw a line between needs and wants. Cos I can't be too flexible right? Hahaha.
Improve self-image
Improve my self-image. Ok, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not going to hire any image consultant or go for any make-over for this. Probably I would engage in more exercises, or learn some good grooming skills. In any case, good self-image leads to confidence, which is a highly sought after trait by me!
Save and grow more "moolah"!
Besides this, I would hope to start growing funds in my bank account. Yes, I'm not afraid to admit that my account balance has been pathetic for quite some time. Of course, it attributes to the fact that I've been jobless for a few months. But then, hopefully, I would see it grow in this new year. And of course, this means learning the art of saving, to which my dearie is an excellent financial "planner"! Who knows, if all's good, my next year's resolution could be to get a personal credit card! (meaning I am capable of getting one! haha.)
Be more proactive!
Yes, this has always been a personal goal of mine. I want to be more resourceful, knowledgeable, and independent! This means I need to 'open' my mind to new things, new ideas, new concepts. This can be in many ways. Meeting new people, widening my perspectives, etc.
I guess there are more resolutions along the way. But as for now, this is the list that I have in mind. And I would hope to fulfil all!
2009 MUST be a BETTER year!!!
