2010 resolution checked, 2011 enforced

Its time to look back at my 2010 resolution and see how I've fared. They were set in Feb 2010.

2010 resolutions
1) Find a job I'm satisfied with [I'm not exactly ecstatic about it, but I'm currently holding a decent job, had a career change mid year, gave up teaching. It has been a pass-able year for this field, I give it a pass]
2) Lose weight [This one is tricky, I started out the year at an obscene number, I've lost some weight since I've started the new job, maintaining it or at least I'm trying to .. A Pass !]
3) Sleep more [This department is subjective. I've been mounting my sleep debts and paying it off during off days. break even here]
4) Find a girlfriend [Epic fail]
5) Control impulse buys, save money [The same shit, lots of impulse buy, money wasting attribute of mine .. sigh]
6) Spend more time with my family [Work forbids me from fulfiling this .. sadly]
7) Play more basketball [Basketball season ended mid year .. never resumed back .. like ever .. ]
8) Control my temper [Mild and Zen-like .. its an improvement]
9) Less smoking [Done !]
10) Be happy [I'm happy .. at least I feel happy for now ..]

Once again, its a 5 upon 10

I've gotta work harder to keep them.

Well, since I'm on this, heres my 2011 resolutions.

1) Be satisfied with my career
2) Lose weight
3) Travel to Taiwan
4) Learn a new skill
5) Bulk up my savings account
6) Widen my social circle
7) Ensure my subordinates are happy to work with me
8) Dine in a god-damn atas restaurant
9) Catch up with "old" friends
10) Find a girlfriend

See you guys next year for the results :D

2009 resolutions reviewed, 2010 resolutions set

I was reading my other blog and saw my 2009 resolutions, quite interesting. I'm just gonna paste that part here and see how I've done.

2009 resolutions
For this year, my resolutions are as of below
1) Obtain my full degree by this year [I've done it ! I'm a business degree holder !]
2) Control my finances better [I have a sufficient amount of savings, but too many impulse buy, so i'll fail myself on this one]
3) Lose weight [Up and down the scale but ultimately I gained weight. Fuck]
4) Meet more (nice) people [I would say I've met my fair share of nice people in 2009, just to mention a few, Xiao Qiu, Sanny, Grace, Joel, En en, Meiyee, Hannah, Janice, Zhen and co.]
5) Travel to Taiwan [Planned but never happened, Went to Bangkok instead, I'll check it as yes]
6) Change a new phone [iPhone on my birthday]
7) Stop smoking [Here and there, stopped but eventually events "forced" me to continue, eg ICT]
8) Find a girlfriend [No luck in this department]
9) Win the lottery [All hard earned money, no luck in this department]
10) Learn to let go [I would say I'm at least 80% successful, so that'll be a pass]

Well, Not bad, i scored at 5 out of the 10. So this might come a little late, but in view of the Lunar New Year, I'll plan my resolutions for 2010. Hopefully in 2011 I'll be able to review them like this :D
