Weekend feels so short :| And I am stuck in the office on Sunday night. Well... It's not so bad actually. At least I have my space which is great! It's the school holidays, and kids are running around in the mall, in the restaurant, everywhere. You really should avoid malls during school holidays, all the de-stressing from shopping would be gone with the sound of kids screaming and crying.
Anyway, I think people should stop making New Year's resolutions. People only get excited about New Year's resolutions during the first few weeks... If you make tons of resolutions like me, you would end up disappointed and feel like a failure at this time of the year, when you realized that none of your resolutions are accomplished.So, here are few tips to make New Year's resolutions.
* STEP 1: Be realistic by setting achievable goals. Winning the lottery, for example, is out of your grasp.
* STEP 2: Describe your resolutions in specific terms. Instead of "I don't want to be lazy," opt for "I want to exercise regularly" or "I will cut down on my television watching."
* STEP 3: Break down large goals into smaller ones. For instance, commit to losing weight by resolving to join a gym and improve your eating habits.
* STEP 4: Find alternatives to a behavior that you want to change, and make this part of your resolution plan. So you want to quit smoking but you smoked to relax yourself? What other forms of relaxation are available to you?
* STEP 5: Above all, aim for things that are truly important to you, not what you think you ought to do or what others expect of you.
Someone used to say to me that life would be different after stepping out of college. Since we were small, we're accustomed to structured environment, where in a specific situation there are specific rules and goals to achieve. So supposedly, after you graduated, you are free to try out new things that you haven't gotten the time to. This makes me think that I should take new hobbies for next year. Sometimes I feel my life feels so predictable and soo routine. I can try to be outdoorsy, but I dislike being sweaty in the hot weather. I can take up music lessons, but I've asked 4 people to teach me guitar, and the only chords I know are C, D, Em and G. The only thing that I like is trying out new restaurants in town :p

It's been awhile....
New year is approaching... Sigh... And next year I'm gonna be 24 :| . Being adult shucks, its minus one year before turning 25. The big TWO-FIVE.On the bright side,December is coming up, and quite a few of my friends from college are getting commited, getting promised, getting proposed, getting engaged, getting married and probably getting babies. Being a bride is fun. I heard Lana had a custom made shoes to match with the wedding dress. I researched for her wedding which is going to be in KK. And apparently going to all these wedding photographers, makeup artists, and florist is so much fun. They will try to get you as a customer,and try to satisfy you on the biggest day of your life. At first, when I went to these places, I would mention that I am not the bride. After going to the 10th place, I'm so tired of explaining that I am not the bride, I just nodd and go along. Trust me, it's kinda fun being a bride-to-be!!!! I kinda wish I get to try the wedding dress. hehehhehe...
Life has become mundane and very routine. Need to try out new things to spice up my life. And not to mention, I'm gaining weight from all the sitting in the office. There's a gym 15 minutes away from my office, and they have yoga!!!! Maybe I'll go there and have a quick look at how's the gym looks like. My purple yoga mat is breeding dust already...
I crave for achievements and challenges. Now, the only challenge I have to go through everyday is trying not to curse in the traffic jam or when somebody jump-Q me. Or when I'm at the mall trying to resist myself from buying something that I couldn't afford. Why can't I have the cool challenge, like hmmm... I dont know.. Well, but its gotta be cool tho.
Blogging is for narcissist, and ok,I self-confessed that I am one of those people. :D :D :D Hmm. Will try to write regularly after this.
Take care.. And I'm in holiday mood :D
