today

As I celebrate the new year, I ask myself what I have achieved in 2008 and what I'll need to achieve in 2009. These are not simple questions to answer especially when I need to look into a really big mirror and judge that reflection looking back at me. It's difficult to be honest and I'm definitely scared to be honest. What if I haven't done enough and what if I've got too much to do this year ? I'm getting a wee bit laid-back as I age. Housework is now done every alternate week instead of the usual twice a week routine. But.....here it is

What I've achieved in 2008
1. Moved into Armanee @ Damansara Damai
2. Getting used to living alone and enjoying every moment with myself
3. Learnt to download movies from the internet !
4. Baked quite a lot and making use of my built-in oven.
5. Tried a few new recipes and was successful.
6. Maintained "only spend what I can afford"
7. Cut down on my smoking.
8. Got in and got out of the JMC
9. Doing well without air-conditioning !

What I hope to achieve in 2009
1. Spend more time with family
2. Cut down even more on smoking
3. Eat and live healthy - try to exercise
4. Try something different at work
5. Exercise prudent spending
6. Learn to cook more dishes and cuisines
7. Lose weight ! Can't afford new clothes; they cost an arm and two legs !
8. Unpack !!!!!

Won't even bother burdening myself with more resolutions or even to round up the number of things I have to do to a wholesome 10 ! That's it. That's what I'll aim to achieve in 2009.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ya all ! May be be blessed only with the very best.
