Happy

Sights like this make me melt.

Things to achieve this year:

Be nice to people.

It makes you feel good, as simple as that.

Spend wisely.

It feels so nice to see all your hard work being paid off in a piece of paper at the end of the month. Oh, and also, stop being so kiam siap (stingy) with money and I am allowed to spend it on Chilli's and Bubba Gump once in a while. On a side note, perhaps the department should stop being kiam siap. =)

Move out (again!).

A little change would help. If people can live in an apartment, so can I. No more washing my own car though. Planning still underway.

Think ahead, there's so much to do with so little time!.

I have some achievable goals for the next 5 years. First step - work my ass off.

Umm .. work out. I suppose.

I found a cool Victoria's Secret work out video the other day, maybe I should give it a try. My favorite TV channel has work out programs in the morning, so there's a possibility.

Oh, and write more here too!

Hello February!

Time to shift the bed to the window, and get a windowsill.

January is over, and I'm ecstatically delighted seeing I have maintained my New Year's resolutions. I don't usually make resolutions, because, one, I'll only do something when given the right mood. Two, when I really push myself to the max. Three, when there's no choices left.

Resolution #1 - Grow up.
As much as I hate to admit, I'm an adult. I'll have to act, think and live as an adult. You'll be surprised to see how much immaturity we all have in us - arguing over nonsensical things, breaking off a friendships over dumb issues, giving a silent treatment to a loved one because you want to get back at them etc.

Over the years, I have learned to put myself in others' shoes and try to feel the hurt when I'm treated in that very way. I have done a fair share of those things to people, and yes, I'm trying to stop. Hey, I'm not perfect. Nobody is.

So, less yelling and more compromising. Result: Happy me!

Resolution #2 - Forgive and forget.

Bugger, it has been 2 years and I'm still not over it. When I first began training for this current job, I was questioned and yelled at by 2 seniors. The first one wasn't my fault, it was simply a lapse of judgment by the senior but oh well, fine, you're the senior and I'm the newbie. I have tried to forgive and forget about that, and I have. So, that's a done deal. Although I admit the scene comes back to me whenever I see him.

Second scenario was a misunderstanding (the only nice way to put it), I'm guessing he misheard me and it turned out to be quite a situation. At least for the both of us, but peeps have told me time and time about his problems and behavior, so I'm not the only one who has issues with him.

Result: Relief!
