The Resolutions

Where should I start and how should I start?

Maybe with a lil bit (how should I say this?) review on my last year performance/resolution? To be honest, IMO, I think I did great. 2011 was awesome. A lot of things happened. Well, obviously! There are 365 days after all. I excel in my studies, bought iPhone 4s with my own money, was offered a part time job as graphic designer and consultant, and so much more. I’m blessed. Alhamdulillah.

Just because I said that 2011 was great and awesome, it doesnt mean that everything are always a rainbow. One thing that I learned is, we have to stop dwelling on the past. Past is past. Why let the past stop you from reaching the stars? And today, I’m convinced that I should have move on years ago and step outside my comfort zone.

For this year, I’m going to name this year as “The Year Where I Start My World Domination Plan“. And why would I named it like that? Well. That’s a secret I’ll never tell. Haha. Just kidding. You’ll know when the time come.

So, I made up few resolutions for this year.

# Save up my money! At least RM200 per month (Future Fund) and at least RM200 per month (to buy ultrabook by next year)

# Buy Sony SAL 30mm F2.8 lens 50mm F1.8

# Manage my spending well. THIS! Ever since I earn quite a lot of money, I’ve been spending my money far too lavishly. Before this, I would have never or would hesitate on buying things over RM100 but now, I would spend hundreds whenever I decided to shop.

# Improve my studies (and stop the procrastination). I manage to improve my grades early 2011. But by the end of 2011, my motivation went down and well, I flunked my finance midterm paper. Not sure how about my final. I just can hope that I’ll pass. If not, I need to repeat the paper and that would mess up my study plan. :/

# Keep a friendly face. Keep a friendly face. Smile smile smile. Stop making the poker face. I need to be more friendly with people. Step outside the comfort zone. Initiate the conversations. And well, be more confidence with myself.

# Read more books

And the list goes on. I hope this year would be much better than the years before and no matter what happen, if this year turn out to be disaster, I’ll always be positive and optimistic. And before I end this, allow me to share something from Yasmin Mogahed.

To all those suffering from sadness or depression, know that it isn’t your fault. It isn’t because you’re weak. It isn’t because you’re just not grateful enough. It isn’t because you’re just not religious enough. It isn’t because you don’t have enough faith. It isn’t because God is angry with you.

To all the well-meaning people who tell you this, just smile. And know deep in your heart that the tests of God come in different forms to different people. And know that, by the help of God, every test can become a tool to get closer to Him. And that, verily, with hardship come ease–and like all things of this world–this too shall pass.

That was long! Haha.
