New Year's Resolutions

Friday night. Another day of working late at the office. Kinda enjoying my work that i don't mind working late, not even on a Friday night. Been thinking about my New Year's resolutions and what i should do for the next year. Since i'm no longer a contestant in the reality gameshow of "Happily-Ever-After", I thought its time to do something for myself and people around me. So i came up with the following few resolutions:

Grow Up
Now that I'm 22 and officially old, I'll have to grow up. There are certain responsibilities and things one has to do when he/she comes of age.

There are times i wished i didn't have to grow up. Many times, i wake from my nightmares in cold sweat, screaming but no voice escapes me. I wished i was 8 years old again. Wished that i could crawl into my mum's room and climb in to the safety of her bed. But i cannot do that anymore. My mum needs her daughter to be grown up.

Pick up new sport
Last year, i've already done rock climbing and blading. So this year i'm thinking of picking up some new sport such as kick-boxing or yoga. I've thought of deep sea diving but i figured that my feet really prefers dry land, so thats kinda out. Maybe i should consider taking up a new dance class. Exotic dance?

Pick up a new language
Due to the many events that happened last year, my plans to pick up the French course was put on hold. I'm thinking of taking it up but no clue as of when i'll take it up.

Become a Semi-Vegetarian
As you may already know, my folks have all turned vegetarian last year, leaving me the only meat-eater in the family. So i've sort of decided that i should try not to eat meat (red) for this year. No more steaks (despite the fact that i love steaks!)... no more pork too.. I shall stick to eggs, chicken, milk and lotsa veggies! Good luck to me!

Donate to the charity
I'm not a saint. I would prefer shopping/blading/sleeping on the weekends than to volunteer at a old folks/children home. Hence, i've decided i should do what best next. Donate more to the charity. Yes. Even NKF.

Go on a Vacation
Planned a trip to Thailand for my birthday this year. Its actually a trip with my poly mates. Something that we were supposed to do last year after graduation. Since my birthday is near the June holidays, we have decided to celebrate my birthday overseas! Shopping!

Have opinions
I simply don't want to say "I don't know."

Less Judgemental/Critical
Guess one should be more tolerant of other people around simply because the world is not made up of you and you alone.

Read
Re-read all my Louis Chia novels~ They are collecting dust on my bookshelves.

Last but definately NOT the least..
BE TRULY HAPPY.
That's all i can think for now. Be back with more.

Am i all alone in this universe?
There's no love on these streets.
I've given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway.
