A Quick Glance on 2010..

Wow! Another 6 more days and we will say goodbye to 2010. Are we ready to welcome 2011? Ready or not, we have no choice. It will comes and nobody can stop it except God.Well what have I achieved this year? Nothing much I guess. Let's see what I have achieved. 


Career wise, I have to say that I lost my steam this year. Used to be like Speedy Gonzales but this year, I feel more like I a tortoise. Slow and steady but still deliver. Guess age is catching up with me.


Health wise, not so good.  I took quite a number of medical leave compared to previous years. My knee and back problem are enough to slow me down. I have to be careful when doing my exercises or playing games. No more badminton or tennis or squash for me. Sob! Sob! Sob! 


Financial wise, just so so. Not so great and not so bad but my new house is taking a big bite from my saving but worth it. I don't know whether I can recover those money. Insyaallah boleh!


On personal front, I have achieved what I set in the beginning of the year except one thing, losing weight. That mission will be carried forward to 2011 and I really hope that I will achieve it. I need motivation and anybody want to join me? We can compare result. Oh another achievement, I will be moving to my dream house next week. Kids will have more space to run around and bigger place to clean up.


On the downside, I lost my dad this year and my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. The last two months of this year has been very challenging where I have to juggle between work, family and dad. Thank Allah for giving me the strength to go through the last two month and thanks to my friends who provided the support during the difficult period. No words can describe my gratitude.


Lastly, I wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Salam

Weight Loss, Hobby and Family

Normally I do not make any new year resolution but this year I made 3 and since we are into the second half of the year, I'm gonna make some review on my performance, not work performance but my personal achievement.

So what are the 3 new year resolutions that I made this year.

1. I promised to myself that I will leave office before 6.30pm and latest is by 7pm

2. I promised to myself to do something that I like

3. I promised to myself to improve on my health


How do I fare with my resolutions so far? Below are the result.

1. I only failed in March and April to leave home early as promised. In other words, my achievement is 66.67% of meeting the target. If I hit 75%, I will assume I have meet my target. The reason why I'm having this as my goal is because I have been working like a dog since 2007. I worked long hours and whatever thrown to me, I took it without complaining. So this year, I said enough is enough. My family will come first and I need to spend more time with them.

2. I also have taken up photography and writing as something that I like to do. I have my blog now where I can ramble and write whatever I want. I can proudly say I'm doing quite well in writing. Photography is something that I really need to work on. I can only do this during weekend and currently my weekend is busy taking care of the kids. I wish I can have more time for photography.

3. How do I fare in the last resolution. Totally fail. So far I fail to lose any weight at all. In fact I put on more weight but I have another 6 months to work on this. Wish me luck as this is the toughest of all to achieve.

Do you have any new year resolution? How do you fare with your new year resolution? Wanna share with me?
