as the curtains of 2010 are almost finally drawing to a close, i cant help but feel a tinge of nostalgia.
in 2009, i had 3 resolutions for 2010.
1) to eat and live healthy
2) to dress fiercely
3) to appreciate the present

looking back (and being super lenient about it), i think i have probably accomplish 2 out of 3 of my resolutions.
apart from the occasional snacking when craving strikes, i do believe that i've started to adopt a healthier approach to eating. back then Mr Old Chang Kee was my soulmate but now i avoid it like the sweaty construction worker. now, i tend to choose soupy dishes and i eat my vegetables as well. also, i guess my twice weekly sessions on the treadmill does contribute to the part on living healthy.
secondly, the sad thing about the working world is that it restricts your creativity to dress fiercely. the conformity stifles individuality to the point that you just give up. oh wells.
and lastly, appreciating the present moment. a lot of people see me as this happy go lucky guy. i think happiness comes when you dont dwell on negativity and instead focus your energy on the positive side of everything. appreciating that every bad moment is a learning experience and that every good moment is a reason to be thankful, lightens you. just remember, you've got to remove the baggage and lighten the load to make the journey easier. and i believe i've done my best to do so.
i guess 2 out of 3 resolutions is not bad. none of us are perfect, we're all just work in progress.
xoxo,
