It's the 7th day of the year and since God created the world in 7 days, I shall review my resolution now.

Ok 1st I admit I made the resolutions but seldom looked at them. Last time in Pri Sch I was those who would draw timetable nicely, i.e. what time wake up, what time do homework etc.. but never follow type of person. 说好听是随性，不好听是 jialat, inconsistent.

But I'm glad I've survived 2010 even though with some blemishes I guess. Let me take a look.. *shiver..

2010's resolution

1) Work hard for thesis. Work as if there's no tomorrow. Don't nap so much and procrastinate. Stay motivated. Try to reach 2nd upper class.

I guess I worked hard for thesis. For a period of 4 months, I worked like there's no tomorrow. I knew I would slack at home so I did my work in libraries- AMK lib, NTU lib, esplanade lib, cafes- starbucks and Bishan CC. Of course at home too when I didn't feel like sharing table with others and wanting a personal space to think. I think I did procrastinate at times but not too serious. Napping was habitual so I couldn't kick that habit off but did reduce the napping hours. There were few instances when my temper become bad cos too stress and got into conflicts, but I'm very thankful I have really patient frenz who 不离不弃 despite 我有多可恶。haha. I didn't fulfil my target but it's ok after some time of 释怀。

2) Change hairstyle and find a nice pair of heels for graduation ceremony.

I did change my fringe but unfortunately I change it back cos I tried to look mature in my workplace now. haha. I dunno why I put the heels thing. Crazy. But I wore a plain black heels for graduation which was ok.

3) Continue to keep the Zhui Xing close bond. I'll also maintain my relationship with other friends too. Hopefully no more disagreements or conflicts.

I think ZX bond is still as strong as before. In fact it's becoming stronger. (Am I right?) I've maintained my other friendships but sadly to say because of work, I didn't have time to meet up with some frenz. This year I got to know more people in terms of colleagues who are quite funny, entertaining as well.

I have to work hard on my anger management cos Jupiter said 2010 was a year when it was very easy to step on my 地雷。I thought I'm quite amiable! haha. Ok enough to make u puke. So I shall strive hard this year. I don't wish to be involved in conflicts. 退出江湖！

4) May all my loved ones (Family, Relatives, Friends) be blessed with good health and happiness. Less family conflicts. I can get along harmoniously with my parents. Be more patient with them.

My mum is still as strict as ever but I'm happy that she allowed me to go JB and Taiwan without her presence. I think tension between both of us reduced towards the end of the year. Perhaps she knows that I'm working so never bother me. haha. I'm really glad to see an improved relationship.

Unfortunately there were some unhappy incidents in the family. Relative was ill. Glad that her condition is improving.

Now that I remembered. I was on drip in the hospital because of hyperventilation. I have to keep myself healthy and prevent such scary stuff from happening in future.

5) Find a job that I like and pay back tuition loan.

Ok this failed. I haven't start paying back my loan. Aiyo. But I intend to start doing so when I get my pay next month.

Really tried quite a few temp jobs. Relief teaching (around 2 months), YOG (but I was paid. It was fun because I got to know a few NTU people and nice colleagues), D company which sells cheap Japanese goods (ya I will never forget how I was exploited and ordered to carry heavy glass panels, doing manual jobs, cleaning, mopping and how the group of grads/undergrads all decided to quit after realising the mistake to join), IT show promoter (I was really poor that period of time and decided to work for Toshiba IT show. Met nice people.. all youngsters. But the environment was so stressful. I remembered my fren and I 狼狈地蹲在一旁吃便当。当时我的心真的有些难过。But my hardwork paid off and I managed to earn some commission.
Also went to tuition centre to relief lessons for frenz for earn pocket $.
Not to 4get, 2 months plus of experience at 2 different CCs, working as constituency support officer. I prefer my 2nd CC though there are politics there but I make frenz with everyone and re-establish the friendship with my sec school friend.

至今还在摸索着，因为不确定自己是否有能力吃这行饭。It's something I like but no doubt stressful cos everything is thrown to me all at once. But I guess no pain no gain so I'll accept it.

6) Go travelling!

I did! Taipei! I hope to go South Korea in 2011.

7) Save!! Hopefully $5 per month.

I saved! I think this is attained especially after I worked and earned salary. But it went down fast as well. oops.

8) Manage my time better, i.e. not spend too much time online and on phone unless I'm having holidays.

I have to improve on my time management cos I tend to work well better at night then I squeeze things all during that time. I'll try not to nap so much (not possible now anyway). I did control my online timings, watched lesser dramas online but my phone usage is still quite high. I'm a chatty person! But I think recently I've reduced my call timings. U are lucky to receive my call! haha.

9) Exercise for good health.

Oops! I only ran whenever I felt guilty for eating too much. Not consistent!! fail!!

10) Don’t be easily affected by people’s emo and stay optimistic!

This is on and off. Generally I'm ok and quite positive. I think.. but I'm expressive person. I like to grumble and say out unhappy things. If I don't say I'll probably die. haha. So perhaps that's why I've created a negative image of myself along the way. But I'm ok really! haha.

11) Be punctual for outings!

Hmm.. still got late. haiz. Being extorted Koi already. haha.

12) Read more books to gain wisdom.

Generally notes and textbooks. Not discipline enough to finish reading novels. I read 《茶馆》towards the end of the year. Bought many books but haven't read. 李敖、林夕、三毛 etc rotting on my shelves.

13) After exam, take on an active role in planning birthdays for zhui xing pals.

aiyo.. got this?! Birthdays should be a success right? omg it's going to start again this year.

14) Watch arts performances or good exhibitions if there's any.

Success! In fact I'm saving up for more performances. so wanna watch 华艺节 plays! Anyone interested?
Going for JJ concert in march. So looking 4ward.
If only I'm not so poor now.. then I can watch more plays. ($ all spent on travelling)
