New Year. New Resolutions.

The New Year spells the need for new resolutions.

A gentle reminder for myself to work towards fulfilling them all, like I did for last year!

1. A trip to Seoul, Korea

Unfortunately, I'll be missing the chance to join Shan in February.

Because it's my first official lunar new year as the "Missus", Poppy thinks it's a bad idea to be travelling during the festive. A little disappointed, but I love CNY too much to miss it anyway.

So hopefully, I'll have a chance to bring Mommy there in Spring or Autumn in 2011!

Also, my annual target of 4 trips per year, as with previous years, may be reduced it to just 2 or 3, if I do get to go for a long one in Korea.

2. A new member in the home

After rounds of discussion (...and disagreement) since the wedding. We have finally concluded that, yes, we should have a new member in the house. Of coz, we're gonna let nature take it's course and nothing much's being done yet since we've got conflicting schedules for most parts, so hopefully the new year will be kinder on us and grant more time to fulfill our parental duties.

Lemming to go for a month or two of long leave to rest up and Poppy seems agreeable on that. Hee. And yes, we think it'll be nice to have another kitty at home too =))

3. More, more, more Moolah

As with every other year, this item is a permanent resident on my list.

Definitely not one to pray for striking lottery, simply by my own hard work, I want to set and attain a reasonable amount to save in the new year. Only starting to grow my savings back since the wedding-and-honeymoon, so extra efforts are in order for 2011!

Now that you've seen mine, what's your resolution(s) for the new year?

New Year. New Resolutions. - The Review

A review on the resolutions I made at the beginning of 2010:

1. cut down on sprees
relatively hard now that i've found my way to buy stuff not just from US, UK but also Korea at the comfort of my home. ok, skip this.

Check. I still make one or two bulk purchases once in a while *sheepish*, but definitely not as much as I did in the first half of the year.

1. continue to buck up on my exercise regime
2009 was a good start.
now that i've moved in with Poppy, let's hope he''ll continue to keep me motivated

Check. Back on the exercise routine. With a little objective of completing a half-marathon under 2 hours, hopefully it'll keep me going on in the months to come.

2. i will attempt (at least a little) DIY for my wedding

i resolve to add some personal touches (or at the least attempt to do so).

on side note, i was (or still am?) infamously known in the family for my 三分钟热度 lit. short-lived enthusiasm. i need some whipping from my bridesmaids.

Zilch. Turns out the wedding was too big an affair for me to handle myself. Glad things turned out ok afterwards, anyway.

3. increase my moolah

alright, i figured i probably won't be able to save much because of my terrible shopping habits. since i can't save more, i shall earn more then! more OT!

Check. Fairly successful, I gather. Despite the huge drain on my bank accounts in 2009/2010 due to the wedding and honeymoon, still managed to meet my target for 2010, recover my losses and start growing my savings again.

PS: Eating out much more than before this year, and that's burning a considerable hole in my pocket. Baaaadd.

Feeling a little itchy though, from our abstinence from traveling abroad.

Still, we got to visit Bangkok in January, USA for 2 weeks in July, Hong Kong in September and random Malaysia trips (just one more trip and I would've met my once-a-quarter trip objective too. I'm just greedy.)

Just 5 more days to a brand new year. New resolutions are in order!

New Year. New Resolutions.

it is the time of year when people begin to make promises to themselves, most of which are broken within a few months. that's right, i'm referring to New Year's resolutions.

everyone has published their resolutions for the new year on either their blog, facebook or twitter status.

let's see what i have on my list this year..

1. cut down on sprees
relatively hard now that i've found my way to buy stuff not just from US, UK but also Korea at the comfort of my home. ok, skip this.
