It's been 3 months since January and I think I've been progressively keeping my 2010 resolutions quite well. Looks pretty encouraging so far.
1. Leave my hair long enough and eventually cut it in a way so that I can look like Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill. (That way, chikopeks will be subtly warned by possible disembowelment before they can pull out some hanky panky)
FULFILLED - I can only entrust the cutting off of 8 inches of my beloved fringe to Florence from A Cut Above in Midvalley. The last time I had a fringe was in primary. In my heart, I was afraid that a fringe will make my high cheekbones even more prominent and protruding as it usually does to people with round cheeks. Apparently, the trick was to make sure the thickness of your fringe is balanced with your face shape; in my case, it had to be thicker to align with my face contours. I went in the saloon being told how little resemblance I had with my sister and went out being told that we totally look alike.
2. Cease sleeping at inhumane hours and start to be more disciplined when it comes to my internet/manga/gaming addiction.
HALFWAY THERE - It's impossible to sleep at such peaceful and quiet time with little distraction to whatever you're doing. At this moment, I'm only addicted to the net (manga occasionally, gaming very rarely) so I suppose it frees up more time for other activities.
3. Make it a habit to be punctual for everything (not just the things I like). Cease procrastination.
HALFWAY THERE - I'm proud to say I'm still very much on time for the things I deem important. I suppose I'm more punctual to family occasions, but I'm still quite terrible for work and class.
NO - I'm really upset to say that my skin has been fluctuating from so-so to terrible. After March, I'm most probably going to do something drastic to it. My skin is in high priority now after my hair.
5. Study hard, get good grades.
NO - I gave my watered down best. Results aren't out yet. Fingers crossed.
6. Pursue my passion aggressively without holding back. Be brave, be strong.
DEFINITELY - Everyday, I'm moving forward without any major hesitation.
7. Eliminate the poisons and toxins in my life. (ie. negativity, paranoia, insecurity)
ON AND OFF - This one needs constant practice, and there are times I just slip (usually because of my genetic make-up and tendency to suffer from mood swings). Some days, I'm really glad of my life. Some days, I really just want to evaporate. Today, I'm relatively fresher and more grounded.
8. Meet Choi Siwon (and the rest of the Super Junior) in concert this March.
FULFILLED 10/13 - Because Geng, Bum and In weren't there despite being on the promotional posters. Fulfilled just last Saturday. Yippee!
9. Endure the remaining 2.5 months of work and tie up whatever loose ends.
VERY CLOSE TO FULFILMENT - I have endured, and I have 9 days left and counting down...
10. Get another source of income.
NOT TOO BAD - I think I outdone myself in this area. All the sacrifices and committed saving for an entire year paid off and I could relax a bit more because I can let my money compound by itself and focus on doing other things that can bring income as well. It's soothing to my self esteem that I have a decent financial standing as opposed to when I first started out. Doesn't mean I'm going to laze from now onwards, just that I made it across the passing mark, no need to save like a desperate person and can look forward to a continuous growth. Relief.
11. Photograph more. Print a photo book.
HALFWAY - My camera's been working very, very hard. Found a few printing companies and when I'm good with my compilation and get some feedback about my works, I'll definitely look forward to publishing it!
12. Read like no tomorrow!~
CONSTANTLY FULFILLED - Kinda slacked on books, but I'm reading things online vigorously!
13. Cosplay another 3-5 characters this year. Attend CF 2010. Mebbe if I feel like it, attend a convention overseas.
HIATUS! - Needs to wait till I have more time in hand.
14. Launch my studio during the first half of the year.
ON THE WAY - I'm in researching status on location, prices, materials, business strategies etc. The thought of the studio is constantly on my mind and I'm mentally drawing out a blueprint for it.
15. Stop fluctuating between weights.
FULFILLED - But I'd wish to loose weight. Mine's stagnant despite esting too much or too little.
16. Travel more. 1st Quarter: Hong Kong, Italy, UK, Paris; Mid year: Melbourne (mebbe); Year end: Hong Kong (again), Japan/Taipei/Florida (Disney World!) or visit bestie in the US.
FULFILLED - Surprisingly, even though this looks like the most difficult to fulfil, but I've been travelling quite a lot this year. Few amendments though, April: Singapore; May: Adelaide, Melbourne; June: JB; August: London, Paris; September: Hong Kong probably; December: Italy. Pushes Japan till next March 11' in order to view cherry blossoms.
17. Play with my pets more! (Not like I'm playing with them any less!)
CONSTANTLY FULFILLED
18. Expand the social circle.
FULFILLED - I think my anxiety and aversion towards social occasions has improved significantly as compared to last year thanks to the influence of my Pomelo other.
19. Sponsor a child.
NOT YET - But I believe in due time, I should be able to do it.
20. Blog more.
CONSTANTLY TRYING - Lack of time is the culprit. I actually have tonnes of topics in mind to blog about.
21. Contribute physically and actually get involved in the activities of my favourite charities.
HALFWAY - When I've resigned, I hope that I can be involved more.
22. Am thinking of being a freelance photojournalist cum designer.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - Please return again.
