Time For a Resolution!

With 2012 just around the corner, my thoughts now turn to the one thing many people would dutifully do this time of the year but don't often keep: New Year's Resolution.

I don't do resolutions normally. I find it a waste of time, and anyway there's no reason to get hyped up when you're going to go back to your old habits in a month or less. Besides, we can change anytime we want, why put it off for the next year what we can do today?

But I admit I did do some sort of a 'Things To Do Before I'm 25' list in early 2011, as I would turn 25 in September. I got the inspiration from a magazine and thought it would be fun to do some crazy things before I hit the big silver jubilee. Sadly, out of the ten things I wrote down, I only managed to accomplish one- hence why I sucked at making resolutions.

But this year would be different. I always said that 2010 is the year of transitions (I graduated from Uni & started my life as a career girl) and 2011 is the the year of adventure (my two overseas trip and something else I must not mention... too often). And now I will say that 2012 is the year for improvement. Plus, I want to travel as travel should, not being flocked around like sheep as tourists do.

So here's my resolution for 2012:
1) Find a good job, and stay there for longer than a year (easier said than done)
2) Find a further study option (Masters in Accounting? ACCA? Or that lifelong dream in Archaeology?)
3) Get that IELTS thing going (So I can proceed with #2)
4) Invest in Forex actively
5) Attend French & Mandarin classes
6) Travel extensively (my favourite and the most important!)
      *India with my best friend (Agra & Kashmir, here I come!)
      *Australia with my cousin (Sydney? Melbourne? Perth?)
      *Singapore with my best friend (this one's fixed)
      *Egypt (If I'm lucky)

God willing, I might just be able to achieve this. o_O *Dies*
