resolutions la-di-da* 

It's that time of the year again. In the wake of the recent global catastrope, I have decided to make several shifts in my life priorities. But before I get to that, I'd like to evaluate how I had faired with last year's resolutions.

1. Stop thinking about Jess. (75% achieved. Have decided he's just too disillusioned & depressed for me. Too much work.)
2. Stop thinking about Jess. (See, this is so, so difficult!) (Not that difficult once I aligned both my head and heart together. 25% more to clean up.)
3. Read at least one book a month. (Having read 14 books, yes! This I scored 100%! Woo!)
4. Finish the Bible. (Errr...this I failed miserably. )
5. Do not be reckless with other people's heart. (I may failed in several situations, but in my own defense, I border to being too blunt when I try to tell people my opinion. Lesson to learn - only be direct to people I really care about, that way they know I'm saying it out of love and for their own character check.)
6. Don't put up with people who are reckless with mine. (This I learnt well.)
7. Continue to have Jesus as my best friend. (Most definitely. He's the one who truly loves and gives. And gives. And gives.)
8. Do not be reckless with Jesus' heart. (This, I fail, and will try to make up for this year.)
9. Share His love and friendship with others. (I scored better on this.)
10. Achieve 98% attendance for the Bible Study classes. (Err. Got kicked out. I'll end the story here.)
11. Know the Word better. (Most definitely, but can do better this year.)
12. Find true love. Jess? (Jess can go fly kite.)
13. Stop dreaming about Jess. (Jess, please go fly kite. Far far away...)
14. Write to Gary Dourdan and ask, "You want to CSI me, ah?" Hee. (Gary replied, "Warrick only CSI on dead people!". Hah, but my dear Warrick, one of my many talents include my innate capability to roll over and play dead...)
15. Collect all of Nick Hornby's books. (Done, albeit finishing only 10 pages of Fever Pitch.)
16. And read all of Elizabeth Berg's books. (Not all of her books are available here in Malaysia. But I finished Alice Sebold's books though.)
17. Climb Mt. Kinabalu again. Only this time, must reach the summit. (This had to be cancelled at the last minute due to work commitment.)
18. Live like Morrie. Not just on Tuesdays, but everyday. (Am still getting there.)
19. Stop being a hermit. (Unfortunately, a hermit remains a hermit.)
20. Be good. (Santa didn't leave me any present this year. Is that a hint?)

I think I scored okay. Here's my list for 2005:

1. Live a life worthy for God.
2. Read 1 Bible Chapter every fortnight. This would be more practical.
3. Read 1 book per month.
4. Continue not to not be reckless with other people's heart.
5. And continue to not putting up with people who are reckless with mine.
6. Continue to have Jesus as my best friend.
7. Do not be reckless with Jesus' heart.
8. Continue to share His love and friendship with others.
9. Be in church on time, every week. (Unashamedly I confessed I woke at 10.00am this morning. See, church starts at 10.00am too! And I missed my ushering duty. Aiyo...will do better next week. Mei, you can be my score keeper!)
10. Be debt-free. And continue to save for cafe setup.
11. Conquer Mount Kinabalu. (If all goes well, this will happen in April. Need to start my training now.)
12. Conquer procrastination.
13. Exercise more. (When the jelly belly is toned, it's then time for the belly to dance.)

Wish me luck :-)
