New Year's Resolution. Gah!

Ok supposed I didn't have any New Year's Resolutions. Yada yada yada. I've said it tonnes of times. No thanks to Fadzli, I'm inspired to list down my very own. I'm such a lalang I know. So here goes..

To a more happy and carefree life!

1. Diet starts TODAY!

Enough said.

2. Hit the gym often

Exercise regularly to work and tone the body (not just to exercise the eyes!)

3. Salsa!

Almost forgotten how much fun it was after not doing it for some time.. need to add more "attitude" and groove into it. Pick up more styling and confidence! Might consider taking up Zouk dance cos its oh-so-hawt!!

4. Travel

Next destination: Bandung <3

5. Pick up new hobbies

Hiking, scuba diving & muay thai (doesn't hurt to know how to kick @$$)

6. Read more

I have been buying too many books and have yet to read them. Need to find time to read.. preferably by the beach!

7. Write a book: Fat and Fabulous!

Just kidding. But I do want to write more creative pieces. Short stories perhaps? But first I need to close my eyes and go to a happy place. Zzzz...

8. Explore new opportunities

Hoping for a career change. Perhaps a job that pays more? Tired of being broke bah.

9. Be more courageous and less shy

I mean what is there to lose right? Be it in interpersonal relations or trying new things. Step out from comfort zone and just do it! One who hesitates is lost. Try everything (or everyone) at least once!

10. Search myself

Practice #9 and I will find #10

P/S: there are 2 aspects; financial and time management that I resolved not to resolve as it is and will be a perpetual dilemma. I need professional help.

SO what's your New Year Resolution?? It's ok to NOT have one. But it's kinda fun though.

Goodbye 2009.. Hello 2010!!

Day 1 of 2010:

Actually I did not plan to have any new year's resolution this year. My new year's resolution is.. I will have NO new year's resolution! Gah. Knowing me, I constantly need a reminder. Even have lists of things to do on my mobile phone otherwise will procrastinate till God knows when.

So here are just 3 things I hope for this year (yay, I love doing lists!):

1. To be in better shape.. anything but round

2. To have a career change (for the better) *fingers crossed*

3. To be happy.. even though single!

I would say I had a fair share of fun in 2009. It would surprise me to hear people lamented that it was a bad year.. for me it was just as good. Even better than my previous years I would say. A lot has happened over the year; had to get used to mom being away so long and so far for work, me moving out to a new place in KL, my first debut in performing arts for KLPAC's Short+Sweet competition, attended numerous auditions just to explore oneself and of course met many wonderful people along the way..

Wow I think 2009 should be named "My Debut Year". Last July during my cousin's wedding it was also my debut performance, a duet song with my cousin, Philip. Just like when we were kids we liked to sing in front of our relatives and play the back-then-famous reality singing competition, Asia Bagus. Well I guess all that training paid well. My cousin leads vocals for his band and as for me, well.. I love to sing in the showers!

Speaking of debuting, 25 May 2009 also marked history as my first debut on TV as a sidekick in a live talk show on RTM called Di Luar Lingkungan. Though it was only 5 minutes of fame, I enjoyed every minute of it. Till that day I have been hoping and still hope I get to do more of it. More of TV I supposed. When will my next opportunity be? On the downside, 2009 have been the most attempt at auditions and resumes I have ever had or sent and they have all return void. But that doesn't mean I will give up, NOOO! Come 2010, things are going to be different I hope. I pray for a better career that will take me to greater heights so I can do more and achieve more.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD,

"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future.

-- Jeremiah 29:11.

Apart from that, 2009 has also been an award winning year for me. Well it was awarded for my works I did in 2008 but of course presented the following year; Ministry of Health and from Bernama itself. It was literally one after another. After having received award for Best Health Radio Program that night, the next morning it was Best Radio Broadcasting Award. Double happiness! And recently just last October after having completed the International Journalism Fellowship (IJF) with a bunch of vivacious people across the globe, being awarded the best local participant was really the icing on top! Oh how I miss my IJF mates!! They really added colour and life into my year end. Can't wait to see them in Bandung this year!!

Deep down in my heart I KNOW that 2010 will be a good year (at least that's what I really hope for).. not to mention my birthday even falls this year on 10.10.10!! That is awesome right?? So it's gotta mean something.. Can hardly wait to see what's in store this fabulous year!!

Happy New Year everyone!!
