Happy 2012!
Happy 2012 to all who still read this blog (which I am assuming are: Me, Myself and I)!
Like some people I know, I am wary of the entire tradition of making New Year resolution. However, in the past 2 years, I have found them useful principles upon which to lead my life and have actually made conscious efforts in adhering to them. Therefore, I am making more principles (don't wanna call them resolutions!) for 2012:
1) Shop and buy far less fashion-related stuff. I have finally reached a point when I am happy with what I have. Having less means that mixing and matching becomes a necessity, with sometimes breathtaking results that can perhaps be called, ahem, personal style. This also means no to the "Buy It Now" button, unless I absolutely need the item, cannot find it here, no possibility of getting it unless I am willing to camp overnight in some foreign country, is crazily expensive to buy here and fill that intense, inexplicable desire within me.
2) Find a new job. Yes, despite this slow economy *sigh* It has come to this. But God's will pervails. That is another long story.
3) Give more time to the people I care about in my life: Hubs, family, friends. People seem fundamentally lonely and empty in this age, it seems. Would love to help in any way I can. Oh, I'm so excited to be a jie-mei for Audrey's wedding! For the 1st time! A bridesmaid for a dear friend! *gush gush* I'm so stoked!
4) Save up for that epic trip. More details when it comes. Woohooo!
5) Okay, I know this shouldn't have been last, but I really wanna learn the lesson of surrender to God's will well. It hasn't been an easy few years for me, and consequently for Hubs as well. I don't know how to explain the details of something so private over a public domain, but yup, for now, that is that.
Happy Lunar New Year in advance too!!! Huat lah!!!!
