URun 2012

Joined my first 10km today! Better to start small steps first, 21km last year was a shame, clocking at 4 hrs! Anyway, my aim for today was 1.5 hrs, and I did it! My finishing time was 1.28mins! Woohoo! If I jogged all the way, maybe even 1 hr 15mins!

After the 6km mark, I was sprinting for 1min, and then brisk walked for 4 mins... and I stopped at every hydration point... considering all these rests... 1.5 is not bad already right?!?

My next coming run is 21km, and I aim to complete in 3hrs!

I can do it!

Happy 2012!!!

2011 had been a fabulous year for me. I did things which I never did before, I felt things I never felt before. In short, it was a really shioked roller coaster ride, with happening stuff occuring along the way.

In 2011, I...

1. Passed my driving on the 6th attempt!!!
2. Started a YouTube channel on beauty
3. Joined a 5km fun run, followed by a 21km marathon, SCMS2011!!! Lost 8kg after training for SCMS2011.
4. Had doubts about my old job, wondering if I could manage. Then I got a new job, starting in Jan 2012.
5. Meet up with a lot of long time no see friends.
6. Did lasik and achieved 6/6 vision!
7. Traveled to 3 countries which I never been before, Taiwan (Taipei), Korea (Seoul) and Thailand (Hatyai).
8. Dated 1 wrong guy, attracted 1 nice shy guy, blind date with another super shy guy, eteract with yet another self-proclaimed shy guy. What's with these shy guys??? Lol. Another thing in common for them, they were never in a relationship before.
9. Hug more guys than I ever expected... Chippendales hotties, Abercrombie & Fitch cuties

In short, it wasn't a bad year for me, in fact I think it's the best one so far.

Let's review my targets and resolutions.

Resolutions:

1. Exercise more. Aim to lose 10kgs.
• I almost reached this target, just weighed myself. I'm 72kg right now. I'm pretty sure it will drop tmr morning after I digested all my dinner. :P
2. Show more enthusaism for my job
• I tried for my old job, it didn't work. I'm really looking forward to my new job!!!
3. Maintain my blogs regularly
• I think I did, I had 51 posts, which is roughly 1 post per week. That's a regular basis!!!
4. Be less annoying and be less easily annoyed by others
• I think I'm still annoying, in a cute way? 
5. Show more love and less anger
• I showed a lot of love by joking and making my friends happy. Not so much to my family.
6. Do not over splurge
• Failed badly, again.
7. No more procrastination
• Hmm.... did I procrastinate a lot? Can't remember
8. Sleep early, by 12mn latest
• It worked when I was jogging regularly. Now I'm back to night owl...
9. Work faster.
• Nah, it didn't happen. Still a slow coach.
10. Nap less. (#^_^#)
• Yeap, I napped less, or rather I napped for a short while. Can't do that for my new job now.

Targets:

1. Start the Business. Reina B.
• Hmm... it didn't work.. or rather neither any of us seemed interested in it now.
2. Get JLPT4 or Makeup Cert
• No money...
3. Join min. 2 runs for 5km, or 1 run for 10km
• Cleared this one with a 5km and 21km.
4. HP-UX II cert
• No time for it. -_-|||
5. Save for rainy days
• Did you see my new Burberry wristlet? LOL.

Now for new resolutions and targets.

Resolutions 2012

1. Aim to reach 60kg by 31 Dec 2012. =)
• Now I think this shouldn't be too difficult for me now, I have a new born passion for jogging. Still love my kickboxing and I'm taking belly dancing soon!!!
2. Must show my power in new job!!! Do not be a meek anymore.
• I really want to impress people in this new job!!! Being the only IT support staff, I hope I could value add to the company.
3. Maintain this blog with a least a post every week.
• My life seemed more interesting now, shouldn't a an issue.
4. Love more, hate less
• While I'm not exactly anti-social, I still display displeasure at some people I dislike for no reason.
5. Be good to everyone, be thankful
• I believed strongly in karma, so being to everybody is actually being nice to yourself. 
6. No more new bags or shoes till it's doomed.
• I clear my quota for next year during my hatyai trip. ^_^
7. No more beauty products or cosmetics unless it's finished.
• OMG, I just keep buying when the other products are seated so lonely in my cabinet.
8. GET A BOYFRIEND!!!
• Or rather, when is that shy friend's friend going to make a move!!!???!!!

Targets 2012

1. Start the Business. Reina B.
• I'm keeping this one. =) Hope it materialized.
2. Get JLPT4 or Makeup Cert or HP-UX II cert
• All are short term courses, shouldn't be too difficult!!!
3. Complete 21km Sundown in 3.5hrs!!!
• I clocked 4 hrs for SCMS2011, Sundown is at night, 3.5hrs is way too nice for myself.
4. Save at least $100 per month for rainy days.
• This should keep my splurging habit in check.

All right, that's all for my first 2012 post.

Happy New Year!!!
