2014

New Year always come with New Resolutions. But before that, i just realized i didn't make any resolutions for 2013. Lemme review my last last year 2012 New Year Resolutions to see whether is there any achievement or any improvement in 2013.

1. Every time i eat, half of my plate must be Vegetable

well, i almost full achieve this, however some of the time i can feel guilty while having birthday dinner, some gathering or even seafood buffet. will improve on this definitely.

2. Manage my stress Better

well, i can said that i've achieved this resolution. Changing job to the one that i love, makes me stress-free by a lot. being a cabin crew making me happier, and even more adventurous. Participate in Pocari Sweat Marathon and Standard Chartered Marathon, and some regular Run. Yeah...

3. Will Workout at least 30 min, 3 times a week

to be honest with you, for the past year, i always gym for at least 30 minutes, however, it is definitely less than 3 times a week. so, Need to improve on this.

4. Less Insomnia, Sleep Better

hmmm..., Due to my job scope up in the air, it makes (or i can said force me) to be awake overnight to make sure customer safety is in a good hand at all time. But i always tried to have a good sleep one i landed in outstation.

5. Pampered myself more

i can said that i am well pampered this few years. especially my regular facial treatment that makes become ME right now. and also been to some massage and foot reflexology in Singapore or even in China.

6. Do More Good Things and Pray More

I've been doing things without expecting anything in return. even though sometimes it's hard to accept it, but i let it go most of the time. do it with huge gratitude. However, i feel guilty that i pray lesser than i expected, way way lesser than usual. Need to go to temple more often.

7. More socialized

Been improving on this definitely. making more new friends, meet more people, and one of the good thing is to install INSTAGRAM in my phone. lolz.

Okay, for now, lemme make new and better resolutions for this coming Year of Horse 2014 (as always) for the better year ahead. After reviewing my past resolutions and achievement, definitely i need to focus and improve more on some of the area, even though it's still a loooooong way to go before i become successful in the future.

People said, "Do Enjoy The Process Rather Than The Focusing On The Goal". And i think this is rather true because you will achieve your goal with the small steps that you take. So, you have to know what steps you take, and understand which steps that leads you to the TOP.

1. Read More Books

This will a good choice to improve my English, get more knowledge, be more positive person, and without wasting my time during my daily life; train ride to airport, bus ride to hotel while overseas, or even been bored at home during off days. I received some books from my previous job, from friends, and even the book that i bought from book store, and will definitely dig-out my mini library to find those books, which book that good to read, And i must finish the book.

2. Healthy Food

I've been eating with No control for the past few months. Living in an oily-and-MSG-food's country, i believe there will be a way to have a healthy lifestyle. I bought Natural Black Chia Seed from Woolworths Australia that pack with high dietary fibre, antioxidant and omega 3, that might help me to stay healthy in my diet program. HERE are some fact about Chia Seed. Also, always encouraging myself to Eat Green and Drink Green.

However, i should eat more Natural Food rather than organic or artificially made. I read some of the Journal regarding Organic Food, pro and cons from the public review/comments, however, prevention is always better than Cure. Why not go Natural, and that's exactly what i will eat.

3. Healthy Lifestyle

lazy is not a good way to enjoy life apparently. so i will give myself more time to do more healthy lifestyle such as Run more, gym more, buy yoga pad to workout at home, join friends for swimming activity and also participate in some marathon event. or even (maybe) buy my own workout equipment so i can do it more regularly at my own home.

not only healthy in sports, i think i need to have a proper enough sleep as well, due to my irregular working hour and non-flexible meal time. if i have time, i will definitely take a good-solid-deep-nap.

4. Pray More

Not only physically clean from any sickness, people also need to have mentally clear from any bad atmosphere. Pray more of what you believe and always keep your mind clear from any bad spirit and fill it more with positive words.

5. Just ONE More

Whatever i do, i will do More, Just One More.

6. Save

nowadays, i try my best to save at least 10-20% of my monthly salary into my fix savings account (i only use it for emergency or urgent situation), which i only have access through internet most of the time. 

Maybank Singapore provide a very attractive savings account with a very attractive interest rate of 3%p.a. (most other bank only give 0.05%p.a.) that is calculated on the daily basis and credited monthly to you. on top of that, iSAVvy Savings account also gives you 6% interest-on-interest for account with average daily balance of SGD$5000 to below SGD$100,000. and even more, 18% interest-on-interest with average daily balance of SGD100,000 to below SGD$200,000. Basically, the more you save, the more you will earn.

Not only save from my salary, i think i need to cut down on what i have spend for the past few years. unnecessary shopping, over-eaten-food, not necessary snacks, so at the same time, i also can save more money without thinking of those.

7. Personal Reward

Other than save 20% of my salary, i think i deserve some personal reward for what I've done for the past or even for the coming year. Travel, leisure, and Family quality time.

We all human, always greedy and not enough of what we've got. Always need more. That is exactly what i feel now. Huge gratitude for the past, expect more rewards in the future. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.
