Mummy's birthday!! My NY resolutions.. ;)

So many birthdays in my family during this period.. Today is Mummy's birthday! Simon and i bought a Christian Dior lipstick for her.. Very nice and classy... I love it! Mummy loves it too! ;) I cooked dinner again today.. all by myself.. hehe.. so that Mummy can rest on her birthday.. I love Mummy lots!! =)

It's a brand new year again!! 2005.. Time to set new year resolutions for myself.. Things i MUST achieve in 2005:

1) Know what i want in my life and FOCUS on working towards my goals!

I think i'm really old now (21!!!!) and should grow up to be mature, independent, goal-oriented and driven. hmm, i know how i want my future to be, but sometimes i just get too caught up with little insignificant problems and stuff and lose my enthusiasm and drive. That's where "FOCUS" comes into play, no distractions!!

2) Get financially fit!!

I want to have a substantial amount of SAVINGS. I want to get my driving licence, using $$ from my own pocket (in mid-year).. I want to save enough to go on an overseas trip (by end of the year).. Hmm so i've started to keep track of my income and daily expenditure in an MS Excel worksheet.. and thought of a budget action plan.. I'll try to spend a maximum of $150 on shopping and entertainment (all the non-essential stuff) each month.. The remaining $$ from my allowance and tuition income each month shall go to SAVINGS! Ermm.. i think the spending limit should work once school starts.. cos with lessons ending at 6pm on 4 out of 5 days, and giving tuition on 4 nights, i dun think i still have much time for shopping (the sinful activity which i always can't help indulging in, causing me to splurge lots of $$) Oh.. another savings plan: Any $1 coin i have goes into the piggy bank simon bought for me.. and i wish i can strike some 4D or Toto now and then too to boost my savings! =p

3) Study hard and do my best academically.

Yes, gd results in school dun guarantee a successful life or career.. but i think u're responsible and answerable to urself by doing ur best in everything u do.. So, i must study hard from now. Even if i dun do really great, at least i've tried my best and not let myself down..

4) Get into shape and live a healthy lifestyle.

Been going to the gym for some time.. With the gym membership, i'll visit the gym 2-3 times a week to stay fit and healthy.. and get into great shape hopefully (there's really some hidden flab to be lost..) haha.. I must neither give up my workout plan nor slack in the gym!

5) Be happy!! =)

Keeping urself happy benefits ur health, mind, body, self-esteem, relationships and all! Sometimes, i tend to brood over unhappiness.. When it's passed, i'll still ponder over it at times and feel lousy.. Probably, i'm just too sensitive (but that's why i'm called a GIRL!) And, not forgetting the monthly doses of mood swings.. =p hmm, think i must try to think happy thoughts.. and always leave the unhappiness behind in as short a time as possible.. Wow, that sounds like a real hard resolution to follow!

6) Treasure my family, friends, baobao and all that i have.

Hmmm.. think that's about all i have for the new year resolutions.. ;) Hope the new year will be a smooth-sailing and fruitful one! To anyone reading this, Happy New Year and may good things come ur way in 2005!! =)
