New Year's Resolutions Revisited

I wrote down my new year's resolutions in my B5 ring binder on new year's eve before it went on my blog. I just happened to read them the other day and measured my success against it, and man am I proud! Here goes!

My 2010 New Year's Resolutions, mid-year review:

(in no order of importance except for the first one)

1. To graduate! Needs no explanation! Well it's not the end of the year`yet, but my reports are going along fine, so I hope it'll be realized soon!

2. To go on that Scandinavian tour xD. Okay this had to be postpone. So now it's NORWAY 2011 BABY! MY TICKETS ARE BOUGHT! I AM COMIIING!!!!!11111

3. To complete my Japanese lesson Advance 1 and 2 and JLPT level 3. I am most proud of this one. I completed Advance 1 and 2 and am now in Advance 3 yay me! JLPT changed from 4 to 5 levels so now I am aiming to take JLPT N4 and N3. I know that N4 is a sure pass, but since N3 is only slightly harder, I decided to take my chances with it anyway. They said N3 is now equal to Advance 4, which is starting around August so I am on track! Whee! Wish me luck! xD

4. To eat my supplements everyday (coz they are expiring soon heheh). Have completely gotten off the supplements wagon! I do prefer fresh veggies but I just forgot D:. I'll try to do better. I promise D:.

5. To come up with several plans (for my future) for the coming year. Holiday plans and carreer plans are up!

6. To have RM1087.92 in saving by the end of the year (that's my yearly loan repayment from nov 2010-oct 2011 btw). I have that amount now, but I have other plans for that.

7. To achieve my targeted amount of Snackelery sales. I haven't made any sales since the start of the year! Someone please buy! D:

8. To clean the house every two weeks. Is once a month good enough? xD

9. To check my monthly planner at least once a week. I don't really check it weekly, but I do update it often enough that I remember what's when and such. Thus my cute planner is sufficiently utilized.

10. To exercise 3 times a week and lose 5 kg! (This is a must every year!). Exercised. Scale is broken? xD Enough said.

Looking back it's amazing how frivolous my new year's resolutions seemed. And I'm not even sure if frivolous is being used in context. I mean yeah, graduating and Japanese lessons' targets are important, but supplements?

If I could make modifications I really should have added my goal of finishing my ISP reports by August 11th when the fasting month begins. At least I only have to worry about my thesis and pending paper. Pending I passed the one I sat before. I'm scared.

Anyway, I AM FINALLY GOING TO REDANG THIS YEAR YAAAY!!! I finally coerced one more person to accompany me and we are off just before the fasting month! I AM SUPER EXCITED! I have been wanting to go there for 2 years now! Now all I have to do is buy the bus tickets to K. Terengganu. I've never purchased a bus ticket before, so I'm a little intimidated. After that I'm heading to Masjid India to buy fabrics for my work uniform. HR Basically told me to put up with my short uniform because I am not important enough for a longer cutting uniform which are all BRAND NEW FIRST-HAND UNIFORMS RESERVED FOR MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE THAN ME! So fucking pissed. What? Just because I'm a part-timer means I'm not entitled to good fitting uniforms!? I do more physical work than any of the full-timers in my unit okay!? Stupid HR! FINE! I'll make my own! AND IT WAS YOUR MANAGER WHO TOLD ME TO GET AN EXCHANGE!

Grr tomorrow (or today since its 3 am already) I have to go shopping full circle. My plans are like this:

Putra Bus Station --- Masjid India ---Mid Valley

Bus station for tickets, Masjid India for fabrics and finding a uniform tailor, Mid Valley to go pick up my L'Occitane card and to do some vain shopping. I totally deserved it. *Glares at my VISA*

Taxi to Putra, maybe taxi to Masjid India too. I know, there is a train that goes directly there from Putra, but it's such a long journey. I'll take the bus to midvalley, maybe? xD but definitely taxi on the way back home. will be a long day. Must wear comfortable shoes. Anyway, so excited! xD

Ta'ra! And my report is 99% finished! Just have to put up the references.
