Resolutions ... again

Before I start on my new list, let's to take a look @ my 2007 resolutions and the results ...

#1: To attend church service more regularly [ mission failed ]
I failed terribly @ this. No excuse!

#2: To resume my savings plan [ mission failed ]
I tried so hard to save in the first few months (I really tried ...) but something always comes up unexpectedly and I end up using most of my savings ... enough said.

#3: To start back on my exercise regime [ mission failed ]
The fats are still there @ all the wrong places! Maybe I should change my name to 'Lazy'!

#4: To start eating healthy food [ mission accomplished ]
I've opt for lighter portion @ every meal and vegetables has become my new meal buddies.

#5: To avoid junk foods [ mission partly accomplished ]
Compare to 2006, I've cut down a lot on the junk foods. But occasionally I'll eat 1/2 a packet of that Cheezels to satisfy my taste bud and gave the other 1/2 packet away!

#6: To learn a new recipe every month [ mission accomplished ]


Cooking is hard work! Blogging about the cooking is harder! You need to think of a recipe and buy all the ingredients. Once you bought the ingredients, you need to shot a photo as evidence. Then you need to prepare the cutting, slicing and whatever ... then take a shot. Then you have to start cooking and you need to take another shot ... then have to put on a nice plate and take the final photo! Then you need to upload all the evidence and blog about it!

On top of all these, there are folks out there who keep on reminding you what's cooking this month and stuff! The end result is not always up to standard but there are some successful attempt i.e. my fav loh mai kai (chicken glutinous rice). So I've decided not to resolute on any culinary attempt in 2008 ... I'll cook whenever I feel like it! Period.

#7: To stop grumbling so much [ mission partly accomplished ]
I've adopted a new attitude ... no grumbling unless it's absolutely necessary!

#8: To smarten my driving skill [ mission accomplished ]
I'll never going to make history and be the first F1 woman driver but still, I've learned a few tricks and rules on the road by observing how others drive and my own encounter!
