New Year Resolutions....

HAPPY 2006, EVERYONE!!! Oppz.. think my greetings come a little late, we are already one week into the new year. But anyway, it's better to be late than never, isn't it?? ;-)

Well, many friends have asked me about my resolutions for the new year. I guess every year I simply have too many resolutions and I'm too lazy to list them all down too. Haha... But I've given a good thought (hmm...not so good afterall ;-p) over it & here's my resolutions for Year 2006, Year of DOG!!! That's my year manz!!! But it oso means that I'm 24 year old this year (thou I've passed my 23 b'dae for barely 1 month!)
1. To be a healthier and happier person.
Well, it doesn't mean that I've been an unhealth and unhappy person in year 2005. But I was kinda worried about my health (& my family's too!) last year and had gone for numerous checkups. Sigh.. Hope to stay healthier and of course I gotta start my exercise regime of jogging & swimming after this rainy season. *wink* Well, I think I've been a pretty optismistic person, hope to keep this up and live happier in 2006. This wish of mine is extended to all my family and friends too! ;-)
2. To have a nice set of sparkling teeth.
Well, I guess this is not my short term goal, gonna take another 2 years at least to see the results. Oh, for those who didn't know, I've just gone for orthodontic treatment and my brackets have just been put on today! Sigh... wanna purple bands but the dentist has already picked pink ones for me. Nvm, still nice & a sweet pink. ;-p Think I look like a little gal with the braces on. Haha...funny looks, luckily it wasn't painful when she puts the wire and brackets on. So next time when I take pics can't smile with my mouth too widely open (thou I like to smile that way all the time..sob...)
3. To value-add on my job, with better performance.
Well, after working for 1 odd years, I do feel pretty slacked at work sometimes. But I'm determined to perform better at work this year, use more of my brain to think and to work more efficiently. Hope to excel and another CSP to hit by end of the year!!!
4. To travel to more places overseas.
Yes! Hope to explore more countries this year, thou I have limited fund to spare. Already got a trip on schedule, which is my Taipei trip in March! So excited!! But I've been too busy to do any planning, seem to leave most of the iternary planning to my sis.. Haha...Ok, I'll start doing some research soon. Wanna a more exploratory, scenic trip rather than shopping trip for this year. So this year I'm focused on exploring the less urbanised regions in Taiwan but gotta think of the convenience too. Hope to hop onto some island (BEACHES!!! I LOVE THEM!!!) for a relaxing holiday too. ;-p
5. Planning for Post-graduate Studies
Well, I've mentioned this to quite a couple of friends that I feel like furthering my studies. But I know that I can only do this in about 2 years time coz I need to save $$ for that (unless I'm lucky to get a scholarship) and coz I gotta fulfil my bond before I can study. But still not too sure what type of course I'll take up, either research or coursework. Well, not sure if I'll do all the way to PhD. Haiz...too many things in mind, guess I'll just look around 1st before making a decision.
