A new year

...Now what?

The clock just striked 12 midnight 30 mins ago...

Am I suppose to turn into a pumpkin now? Or is the morning going to be any sweeter than any other mornings???

I guess with all the anticipation and excitement towards a new year....and once it unfolds, it makes you think whether is it actually just an ordinary day...just like any other day throughout the year OR its a day where we start afresh...a clean slate with new aspirations and goals?

As for me, I always look forward to a new year as a form of a reminder to me .... that things would always get better as we enter a new year. Leave whatever negative things behind and look towards better and brighter things in the future.

Do I sound like I am talking rubbish? Probably.My brain is half asleep. Everyone is asleep upstairs already. And hubby has to wake up at 5am for a marathon.

Ok Ok...let's get down to business. I normally don't have any new year resolutions. I would just say I have goals.And of course, I want to see a better ME this year.

1. Told myself I have to reignite my reading habits. And it is just not limited to cookery books!!! In 2011, I didn't read a single novel...and its pretty bad. Would definitely check out BookExcess soon...and stocking up on some feel good novels!

2. Start my project for the kids scrapbooking.I have abandoned it like years ago.And need to start developing all the family photos.

3. Live more healthily. Gotta gotta gotta find time to exercise. I read about this Jazzexercise program...sounds fun.

4.I must learn to try NEW things. Maybe start with breaking from the habit of always buying the same food stuff each time I go grocery shopping. Maybe try a different brand of biscuits, try a new recipe, eating at a different restaurant that I have never eaten before...

5. Enjoy the kids more.Give the kids more of a childhood. Laugh. Play. Fun.

6. Intend to attempt to teach Ryan piano. Not sure that would be possible. Probably would give up teaching him after one lesson!

2012...Year of the Dragon! I am a dragon baby. Let's make this a 'special' year!!!
