and here are my resolutions!

hah bin, you're sooooo ambitious! but must applaud you about the gym thing, i think the last time i tried "toning" my body i lasted..... 2 weeks (5 gym visits in total). after that i just gave up on exercising completely. i've decided to make my resolutions non-new year ones, so they will last me a whole lifetime, which means if i haven't completed one by the end of the year it doesn't mean no hope liao. makes it easier that way to "achieve" :P

#1: to learn (read and write) 2 - 3 other languages (french, MANDARIN chinese my mother tongue (!!!), and maybe spanish/sign language)
#2: to do volunteer work
#3: to read more non-medic-y things ie fiction
#4: to be a competent doctor (that is all i ask) and build up my CV
#5: to have my dog be ring bearer at my wedding
#6: to cook a 3 course meal for my parents
#7: to be more up to date on current affairs, world issues, history, art, literature, politics, economics and general knowledge (i hate how medicine has made me so stupid)
#8: to travel the world
#9: to have my own self bought, self decorated house and my own car
#10: to stop moaning about my fatness and just celebrate what i have (ie buy more clothes :D)
#11: to be a good friend
#12: to learn how to be more patient, more forgiving and less judgmental
#13: to learn how to play 2 other musical instruments (the cello and drums/saxophone)
#14: to take better care of my skin and my health
#15: to count my blessings and be happy

so of all the current 15 resolutions above (will add some more as i go along), i've made a half hearted attempt for #1 (i know how to pronounce french words and that's as far as i've gotten), i've managed to do #2, trying to do #3 and #4 and hurrying nick regarding #5 (haha!). planning to do #6 when i go back this summer, dunno how to start #7 (don't feel like digging up my pmr and spm sejarah books), really want to do #8 properly but got no money so doing everything on a budget and #9 is still reaaaaaaaaallllllllyyy far away. some days i still moan but learning how to do #10, struggling with #11 and #12 because i'm too lazy to change bad habits, have tried the cello for #13 and have given up for now because it's too hard and i have no money. i've made some progress for #14 but i still need to work on it, and as for #15, i'm reminding myself to do that every day. as long as i've made a little progress on at least 2 resolutions a year then i'm happy enough.
