The decision is simple...

For some reason today, I struggled to find topics to write for my blog. I guess I must run out of issues...and my life is sorted...yeah right! Anyway, after reading Rick's blog today on new year's resolution, I thought it would be an appropriate time to review my new year's resolution.

In my previous years-I would have "misplaced" my list and then only to find this list appearing on the last few days of the year. By then, I would review the list and just laugh at the new year's list and transfer it to the following year. However, since blogging, I have no reason to "misplaced" my list! So here goes the review (based on my January blog)

1. To find love
On finding love, I'm so not there yet! I felt loveless after watching Brokeback Mountain and got really depressed at one stage (well not quite depressed-just need to exaggerate a little...:-))...I guees I need to love before I can expect others to love me. So from that respect, I'm learning to love others again - being family or friends.

Does crushes count? Well for arguement sake-I would include this as well as a beginning (or ending) - my gym boy and one or two fellow bloggers! :-)

2. Be able to communicate in basic Japanese
This I believe is on track. Have picked up basic Japanese-like ordering food at the Iyakasas, Restaurants and giving instructions to the taxi drivers to bring me back home when I'm absolutely drunk. Have also picked up Katakana as well....so that's on track. I just need to use them more often.

3. To travel in Japan covering these places - Sapporo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Okinawa
Did Kyoto last weekend. So one down and 4 more places to go but then again there are other places to visit which are not listed here. Anyway, they are definitely on my other list!

4. Cooked more at home! (I need to achieve a body fat of 10%)
Well-I must say I'm eating a lot more at home right now. Not sure about the body fat though but my trousers are getting a bit looser and my shoulders/arms looking slightly more defined! However, I'm going to continue with this diet and maybe get a personal trainer again.

5. I need to stop procrastinating!
Hmmmmm.......that's a long way to go!

6. Be in bed by 11:30 pm!
Challenging....considering that I get into my blogs and surfing around this time of the night. Maybe if I don't blog, I should be able to get to bed by 11:30 pm. Good for my skin though!

7. To run the Singapore Half Marathon in under 2 hours.
Another challenging event considering I don't even know whether I'll be in Singapore early December...could be travelling around the world or stuck at month end activities....sigh..

8. Save more!!
Definitely on track!! Got a huge mortgage coming my way soon!
