Hi all. It's already halfway through the first month of 2010 and I still haven't make any customary post on the summary of the previous year and my new year resolutions so I'm going to do it now! I remember that I wanted to share with you guys some of my new year resolutions last year but I didn't get about to do it because I forgot to do so after postponing my plan haha... Last year, my 2 most important resolutions was somewhat fulfilled. First was to graduate with honors and the second one was, like more than half of the world's population, to lose weight. To be honest, losing weight has been my resolution for umpteen years, so I wasn't too hopeful for it to be achieved but thanks to internship, I lost more than what I'd bargained for. Sadly though, I'm slowly gaining back some pounds yikes. Discipline Ivan! Discipline! As a follow up to 2009, I shall present to you some of my 2010 resolutions.
1. Lose 10 kgs by July. (Approximately 1.5 kgs per month)
Meaning I'll have to slowly cut down on supper, carbonated drinks, carbohydrates and get involve in some physical activities.
2. Start cooking again at least 1 new dish a week. (Starting February)
I'm guilty of abandoning the kitchen for one whole year and I'm missing the pleasure of cooking a wholesome dish. After watching Julie & Julia, I'm inspired once again so here goes 48 weeks and 48 recipes, a guy and a moderate condo kitchen. How far will it go? We can only wait. And wait. And wait... The Ivan/Julia project. Coming soon to a computer terminal near you:) Okay I don't think I'll have enough money to buy Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" so I'll just grab any recipe which I'm interested in cooking aite?
3. Take more photos to capture precious moments of 2010.
Easy peasy. This means more camho session and of course I need to remember to bring along my camera everywhere I go if possible. I'm seriously in need of decent pictures of myself haha... and of course with my besties and family. Which brings me to my next resolution.
4. Strengthen bond with friends and family.
Different goals leads us to different places but I believe when it all comes crashing down on us we need something familiar to hold on to. I hope we all could be rocks to each other in the midst of a mighty river.
5. Settle on with a stable job.
Hopefully I'll be able to make up my mind by February. Get a good paying 5 days a week job with flexible hours and out of the world benefits. WAKE UP IVAN! WAKE UP! *snort back to reality* *falls back asleep*
6. Blog at least once a week.
To keep my dear readers (my friends la) happy and up to date on what's going on in my life and also as a diary for future nostalgic moments.
7. Continue with MBA (maybe)
If I have the $$$ and if by doing so will improve my opportunity to advance higher up in my career, then I'll most probably do it. Just maybe not this year.
I'll end this entry with a some cherished of moments in 2009;
The first half of the year was all about my life as a Hilton... I mean working in Hilton
Graduated in August. One of the proudest moment in my life so far I guess.
Finally a successful road trip. Destination, Malacca. The best part, conversation on our way back.
My 23rd Birthday :) Thank you all for making 2009 such a memorable year.
