<p>New year, new resolutions. So for 2012, I resolve to:</p>
<p><strong>Keep a healthy lifestyle</strong><br />
This will mean a healthy diet and frequent exercising. I had a staggering headstart last year to eat healthy and start running, but it wasn&#8217;t a continuous and consistent effort. This year, all&#8217;s that gonna change. FP and I gave ourselves till end of April to see some difference in our fitness levels and weight. </p>
<p><strong>Be an early riser</strong><br />
A complete stretch because I am definitely NOT a morning person. Have you seen me on mornings after a night of little sleep? Maybe a more realistic resolution is &#8220;do not press the snooze button&#8221;!</p>
<p><strong>Join a marathon</strong><br />
Although I may not be the fittest person around (ever), I&#8217;ve always wanted to be in a marathon of some sort. And now that running on a regular basis in on my agenda, surviving a marathon should be quite a possibility.</p>
<p><strong>Rekindle my love for craft</strong><br />
In 2011, I hardly crafted, barely sewed &#8211; nothing creative that&#8217;s  time consuming and handmade was produced. So this year, I shall bring the crafts back to life. Hello felt projects, scrapbooking and anything else that comes my way!</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t sweat the small stuff</strong><br />
This is a repeat of a resolution I made in 2010. I do not like making mistakes being the perfectionist that I am, but sometimes I do need to let things go.  And most of the time, I get annoyed by a million little things that shouldn&#8217;t even affect me. I need to take a deep breathe and tell myself that whether or not I believe it, most of the time it&#8217;s only me who is bothered by such details that aren&#8217;t worth my time.</p>
<p><strong>Soak in the culture</strong><br />
Read more, travel more, watch more theater productions, view more exhibits at museums. These are basically the things that make me happy and that I&#8217;ve always been interested in. So why not kill two birds with one stone?</p>
<p>So I guess that&#8217;s it for this year. Possibly the shortest list of new year resolutions by far, but its quality vs quantity right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m back from a really fun-filled and completely impromptu Malaysia trip. I haven&#8217;t been in Singapore since New Year&#8217;s Eve so the new year practically begins for me now.</p>
<p>(Blog post abt Malaysia Trip &#8211; 3 cities in 3 days will come later. Awaiting pics from official photographer)</p>
<p>So anyway, with a new year comes new resolutions. And I am normally pretty good with resolutions so here goes:</p>
<p>1. I will take better care of myself. This means drinking enough water, getting enough sleep and putting myself before others when the need arises.</p>
<p>2. I will not let the small things bug me. This means I have to be more patient and not get angry and upset easily.</p>
<p>3. I will not let idiots get the better of me. There are too many idiots and only one me. If I let them get to me, they will trample all over me. </p>
<p>4. I will be a happy person.</p>
<p>5. I will not be late for work. </p>
<p>6. Which brings us to: I will not wake up late in the morning.</p>
<p>7. I will not let anybody push me around. I am not a pushover (anymore).</p>
<p>8. I will not try to strive for perfection every time. It&#8217;s okay to make mistakes.</p>
<p>9. Since I learned how to bake last year, I will learn how to cook this year!</p>
<p>10. I will take up an enrichment course of any kind (learn a language perhaps? or learn a new craft?)</p>
<p>11. I will blog regularly.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the eleven that I can think of right now. There might be more along the way and will add on as we go along.</p>
<p>I hope I can keep all these 10, especially about me not being late for work hehehe.</p>
<p>Have a great new year guys and girls. 2010 will be an awesome year, you just know it.</p>
