First thing's first, I have never set any annual resolutions before this because I didn't see the point in needing to do so and because I always thought, another year would be the same as any other year. But this year I'm turning 25 and I thought, every year wasn't the same and that as a person that lacked motivation most of the time, I think it's time to start cultivating this yearly habit of having resolutions to see how well I did at the end of the year. I think the first one would be to write shorter sentences in my blog so that my reader will not be out of breath at the end of it.

So I'm planning to have a much more balanced lifestyle this year because I haven't been exercising regularly like I used to since high school and I have not been checking on my diet too which is why I've gotten quite an amount of flabs here and there. As I cannot work out efficiently in the gym (too boring) and I felt that yoga was giving me the flexibility but not the body and challenge, I will need to plan out a more efficient routine and maybe join other types of activity that could make me lose those extra weight. Of course, diet is extremely important and I will need to watch on that as well because my recent eating habits have been getting me into trouble where I get chest pains, weight gains, and what not. 

I've been struggling with consistency for a very long time. I just cannot be extremely consistent like I want to be because it will feel very routine and monotonous which are also very bad excuses to not be consistent. As of now, my life on social media is a few months late which is quite normal for a lot of people but mine is quite the throwback. So for consistency, I would like to see it in my social media postings, especially my blog updates, and most importantly hobbies that I took up in 2017-journaling and film photography. I wouldn't say I give up easily on certain things but more of move on pretty quick if that something doesn't pique my interest anymore. So yes, more consistency in everything I do please!

Everyone who knows me know that I have 101 hobbies and 101 interests that I want to do and participate in but cannot find the time to do so. Thankfully, I've narrowed down the things I love to do but still, I always find that limited time is the reason I can't pursue them often! Blogging is one of them, colouring is another one, and then there is also the tendency to rekindle my interest for my keyboard, I also dread I don't take a lot of photos on my film cameras, some times I forget to update my journals, and the list goes on and on. I personally think time management is so so so important and cannot understand why I am still not acting upon it if I know of its importance. Life is so ironic. I am so ironic.

I think most millennial these days don't only have one job or most probably have some investments here and there to survive in this cruel world. Same goes to me. I don't really have much time to spare honestly after taking away my sports time and my hobby time in a week but I feel that a side income in a form of a short term project is still workable.Thank goodness my family is quite understanding about me working throughout the weekends sometimes because they know its not easy being us in this generation. I have friends whose parents are still talking about when I was 23 I already got married and have kids, and I feel sorry they need to go through that. Of course, I need to manage my time first before taking up other work so that it will be better than getting all stressed up at the end. (See how I linked all my resolutions together hohoho)

Okay this one, is serious matter because I calculated, the maximum I can save a month multiply the months leading to my possible marriage month in the future, is a lot of money BUT, WEDDINGS DON'T COST RM50,000 ANYMORE. So what I will still need to do is to try my best to save up as much as I can. Not only for the wedding but for my future because after marriage you might want to have kids, then the kids need education, I might want to pursue archaeology (?), and of course visit a real safari in Kenya.

I'm not asking for much when it comes to travelling I mean, I went to 4 different places last year, Bangkok (last minute plan to attend SHINee concert), Boracay (bought the tickets a year ago), Singapore and Phuket (for work while on It's The Ship). So to ask for a getaway out of Malaysia once this year, I think it's okay. Another reason why I didn't want to aim for two places was simply because my salary is not made to travel that frequently so I could say last year really burnt a hole in my bank account.

This is quite impossible because I only learn keyboard for 6 months when I was in high school and that was it. My keyboard at home does not have all the keys meaning there might be notes that I cannot possibly play unless I rearrange that particular part. I tried watching a couple of Youtube videos but I was a little impatient so it didn't work out too well. But I am keen to give it a try again but first I need to arrange my time and complete all the blog drafts I have which are all written halfway. 

I will revisit this post again on the 31st of December 2018 and see if I did make any improvements! Till then, wish me the best!
