Re: New Year Resolutions and Wishes

I was just looking through my blog to see what I've been rattling on for the past year and came across interesting entries e.g. my quarrel with Desmond over a Louis Vuitton bag, my mahjong adventures. Then I came to this: my resolutions and wishes for 2009.

It's almost end September, meaning there's less than a quarter year more to go for 2009. I wonder how much effort I have put in to achieve my resolutions (thank goodness I blogged about it, otherwise I would have forgotten that I even have any resolutions or wishes to begin with). It is evaluation time.

These are my resolutions for 2009:
  1. I wish for my little adorable daughter to continue to be healthy, grow well, talk to me soon, be a really smart girl and look more like a girl (last time we went to Plaza Singapura, the whole world mistook her for a boy. Kids in the lift commented that HE is so cute).
  2. I wish my marriage will continue to be a happy one and Desmond will find a career suitable for him.
  3. I wish I'll build my career this year.
Seriously, wish no. 1 is really very much a wish that I have little control over. It's mostly up to Alyssa. Ok, I may have some control over the part she falls sick and appearing like a girl. I try my best to clean her stuff every weekend to make sure things she uses are clean and I've bought her tons of pink dresses. But she still falls ill frequently. I can't even track how long she's had this latest stuffed nose of hers and she's only just recovered from a case of bronchitis. Wish no. 1, fail.

Resolution no. 2. Ok, I think I'm quite happily married (most of the time). Desmond hasn't found a suitable career yet, though I'm trying very hard to help him. I just wished he'll take resume writing more seriously. Note peeps, I'll be introducing a job search series very soon, based on my experience with Desmond. Look out for that.

Resolution no. 3. I have to confess I did nothing about this for the most part of 2009 but that is about to change very very soon. :)

Hmmm, I suppose I've attained 40% of my resolutions and wishes. Not too bad considering what a crazy year it has been with Alyssa falling sick so frequently, but I think I can do better. It's also probably time to think of new resolutions and brace myself for the challenges ahead.
