yes.. this is the much delayed post on my plans for this coming year 2010.. now already in the 3rd week of the year so i thought i shouldn't delay this any longer. notice that i do not use the semester "new year's resolution" since i guess it haven't been working out well from past experience haha.. so this time round i'll make it a more firm commitment for 2010.
So here goes the list:
1. keep fit by exercising more often - the main purpose of this would be for losing the spare tyres and more importantly for health purpose. currently making it a commitment of going to my gym twice a week. so far so good which includes tomorrow :)
2. go on healthier diet - same purpose like the above. making myself eat fruits everyday and also try to cut down on unhealthy food especially snacks. also trying to convert my b'fast diet to wholemeal ingredients. so far so good as well :)
3. charity - will contribute more to charity this year since my financial situation has improved gradually since started working. besides the small monthly contribution from my salary will try to increase my charity contribution whenever the opportunity arises. the other day donated US$100 for Haiti's assist fund through OneDayWages and just half an hour ago another US$100 through Red Cross. nothing to brag about because i've learned that life is not abt how much u can receive except it's abt how much u can give. Gifted are those who are capable to give.
Now planning for doing some charity to the Sasana when i'm back in penang for this CNY.
other than financial charity i'm also planning to volunteer at a charity organisation this year. currently serene haven't spend time to seem for one but this is a good start to keep in mind :)
4. trip - currently got two trips planned. Mt Kinabalu in May and Bangkok in August :) it's been very tiring to organise the trip but i truly want to make it a good one for everyone so i hope my effort really payoff when the time comes. hope to have more this year but i think it's gonna be hard with my current job commitment. will see how it goes :)
5. lead a more virtuous life - i've lost touch with my spiritual self for quite sometime and this year i'm taking effort to pick up the pieces of my Buddhist way. as the wise has said before buddhism is not a religion it is a way of life. gonna spend sometime each day to training meditation and also listening to dhamma talks again. feeling good so far embracing peace and mindfulness :)
6. work - with the new project and schedule i think some plans have changed. most likely will stay on to complete this new project. so by end of this year i'm gonna deliver 6 tug boats!! i'm the Tug Boat King!! haha
7. personal development - there's much to say here but just gonna highlight this one thing which i've just committed to recently as the opportunity came to me. will be leading the table tennis team to represent Keppel and also Singapore to compete with teams from other oil & gas companies of other ASEAN countries during July. i guess this opportunity is gonna come to me only this one time and i'm taking up the challenge. i'm coming to the international/regional stage hehe. i understand it's gonna be tough but i'm gonna do my best!!
yeah this is all for now. Making a difference for Y2010!!
