What?! It's the end of 2008?

I hate to kiss 2008 goodbye. Though I didn't really accomplish anything BIG this year, I think did fulfil a few of my 2008 new year resolutions. Let me do a quick review:

1) Join Toastmasters

Checked

Ha... I only gathered enough courage and time to join towards end of this year. The learning environ is good, so for those who are still contemplating, just go ahead and join! It's one of my best decisions made this year

2) Join 3T class - an enrichment class in my fotang

Checked

3) Learn a new skill eg. photoshop, swimming, sewing clothes

Failed

4) Start a business?? Maybe something small scale first

Tried but failed. Blame stupid eBay for this

5) Slim down (at least by 3 kg?).... or maybe just to keep fit

FAILED

I should wake up and be more realistic. Maybe my next year's goal is NOT to put on any more weight.

6) Save up money

Not sure whether to check this.

I did try to be a bit more thrifty this year but still far from my target amt.

7) Tidy up room

Checked?

In my opine, my new room is tidy most of the time but my mother thinks it's messy. This is perspective, you know

8) Cooking??

Failed

I don't even rem this is in my ny resolutions. I only rem I cooked 2 dishes in this whole entire year: one, baked muffins - from prepared mixture some more *sigh* two, baked rice - which roger commented tasteless. I think I fare less than bad on this. Maybe I should just hire a maid after i'm married next time or ta bao food home. Pity my kids in future....

2009 is definitely going to be a challenging year for me... With new responsibilities, I guess I will be even busier next year. Seriously, I hope I will be able to balance everything well. Thankfully, ppl around me are supportive and understanding. Love you all =D

And here goes 2009 resolutions (I will add on to the list if I think of more)

1) Be a leader - build up leadership skills at work and bxb. I should also remind myself to behave like one. And think win-win
2) Big Rocks first, followed by pebbles, then sand - to prioritise impt matters first. I need to focus and not procrastinate!
3) Be proactive

Others
1) Teach my mother and sis to use computer, learn some english and maths
2) Give more guidance to my 小弟
3) Spread love and joy to ppl around me
4) change my boring image (less specs and tie up hair)
5) doubt i'm going to fulfil this but am writing it anyway... participate in standard chartered 10km marathon
6) read more inspirational books

Lastly, if you are reading this post, I would like to wish you a prosperous and great year ahead! =)

Addendum

1) Complete my TM projects and be more well prepared for it.

2) Reduce no. of cab rides
