New year's resolutions

The Year of Horse 2014!

Howdy everyone!
How 2014 has been so far to you?
I kid you not, the beginning of the year invited me with illness. Infected with acute pharyngitis and cold.
What a year to start!

Alright here are some of my goals in 2014!
Like everyone, me too have some goals or so called plans that I hope to achieve this year. 2014 is the year of horse, (I was born in the year of horse - I'd like to name this year my year!)

2013 was a wonderful year to me with lots and lots of things (bitter sweet) happened. I wish 2014 would be a SUPERB year for me!

1. LEANER/LESS BODY FAT%

- I wish with all my heart to be leaner this year! Being healthy has always been a priority in my life! Last year I tried out YOGA! Damn it was too hard for a short-tempered person like me! Yoga seriously needs extra patience doing those kinky poses. Forget YOGA Melvin! This year I bought my self a pair of Dumbell! Home workout is otw! Hope to grow these biceps bigger! :) Oyeahh.

2. FURTHER STUDY

- This sounded like everyone's dream but in the end of the day only those who really put on 100% commitment will success! Being working for 3 years in a row now has buried that nerd side of me! Gosh I need to dig that 'grave' out and bring back that spirit! Alright, I have applied for further study! Let just wait for the result.

 3. FAMILY FIRST!

For years, I always put MYSELF before my family! Every New Year's Resolutions were always about things I needed to buy! Growing old (Perhaps) has taught me lessons of life! So I think I should put my family first especially my parents this year! They have been my backbone for my entire life and its time to payback (even I know its impossible) but do em a favor or make em happy by any means is my plan this year! I shall not betray nor disobey em! Let see what I can do! :)

4. SAVING..SAVING..SAVING...

Recent news even on any social network posts are about the rising of prices, gas price also goes up! It's time to save! First of all, I need to avoid dining out often. I'm kinda a lazy person! Staying alone in this hectic city with lot of works got me no time to cook at home. It would have been better and I could have been saved a lot eating at home!!!. with the rising prices of everything, I should reconsider cooking at home as the matter of fact, I need to eat clean for a healthy body!

5. NEW LAPPY!

This laptop has been loyal to me for almost 6 years! Dear lappy, i know its hard that we have shared and been through a lot but I need a new partner to work with, your speed couldn't cope with the recent advancement of the technology that I really need for work! But don't worry lappy I would still keep you or maybe get you adopted by my nieces/nephews for gaming and etc. Farewell lappy! :(

6. OUTDOOR BRAT! CONQUER THAT MOUNT KINABALU!

I always wanted to go out and try so many challenging activities. Last outdoor activity I did was back in PLKN. That moment was awesome! Flying fox, marching, etc! So now, back on track. This forthcoming August 2014! Mount Kinabalu, Im coming! Borneo International Marathon on May, Rafting done but still not satisfied. I hope I could participate in all outdoor activities this year!

7. POSE... SAVE YOUR SPINE MELVIN!

This is one bad pose ever for decade! I have always complaining myself of getting a backache as the consequences of a bad posture! Hunchback or in medical mild kyphosis! a lil.. but it could affect the spine and easily gets me backache, neckache..etc. I should practice a good posture! YOGA should help! but I need more patience! Guess that I would have to start a back practice for 2014!

8. EXCHANGE PLEASANTRIES OFTEN WITH YOUR CIRCLE, KEEP THAT BOND STRONGER with more LOVE! :)

I know this sounds hard but I need to not because I have to but friends are like siblings too! So, get to know em closer and keep that bond stronger. Albert Einstein had his biggest fear during his year that he afraid that technology could make the peeps a dumb generation with no more interaction but with their own cellphones. So decided to keep my cellphone away when i have a date with friends unless its an emergency call/text! I need more time to understand my friends and appreciate em in my life. :)
I need LOVE. lol..

9. BE A BETTER PERSON, LEADER AND A LOYAL SON OF JESUS CHRIST!

Everyone is always busy with works, fun, leisure, etc.. but on top of all, Christ is the head of everything where we bow our head down, ask for forgiveness and seek for love, fortunes, blessing from him. I'm the head of unit of my workplace. I should be a responsible leader not begging for respect but earn their respect by showing a good example not only talking to nineteen. I hope 2014 is a year of improvement for me to become a better person.

In short, All i want for 2014 is to be BETTER that 2013 in all aspects of my life. :)
Thanks for reading. Till we meet again.
