Do I feel sad that I did not achieve what I wanted to achieve or feel grateful that I had got through the year in one piece? So instead of worrying about the appropriate emotion or reminiscing about 2013, I decided to start 2014 with a simple New Year Resolution :
1) To not stress over things and enjoy life as it is.
Yes. That gray hair on my head every time I look in the mirror does irritate me but I have decided to not stress over it. (Thank Goodness dyes were invented, eh..).. Bills to pay - not stressing over it. My favorite show gets cancelled - not stressing over it...
2) To always smile and treasure the little
things in life.
I may not have much but I am going to be grateful for what I do have.
3) To be charitable and help those in
need.
I wish I was a more charitable person. I envy those who could give so much to those in need of help, whether it's money or time. My mom has always been this kind of person. Always ready to give what little she has. I aspire to be like her.
4) To not be afraid to take a risk and try new things.
4) To not be afraid to take a risk and try new things.
Is the grass always greener on the other side?? Maybe I should just take a risk and go on that grass surveying expedition. Who knows I may find that
the grass is indeed green.. It could even be the best decision I ever made..
5) To be kind in my words and thoughts.
Yes. I need to stop being a b***h.
6) To not let bias or prejudice rule.
I aim to be more accepting of others regardless of race, age, gender and sexual orientation.
7) Most importantly, that I would always be there for my
family and friends and be a good daughter, sister and
friend; in other words, be a better person.
My family is the most important thing in my life and I would always be there for them. I hope that in the year to come, I can make things easier for them and make their dreams come true.
As for my friends at work, I hope to always be there for them and for those friends living far away, former school and university friends, I should make an effort to keep in touch.

I know I should include "lose weight" or "do not touch that muffin, cake, burger, anything that looks delicious" in my New Year Resolution list but I was thinking why make promises I cannot keep. Yes. Yes. I will exercise more, for general health purposes but if that weighing scale stubbornly refuses to move lower, I will not stress over it.
So for all those who had a 2013 that you wish you could smash away, may 2014 be a better year for you.
For those who had a wonderful 2013 (I HATE YOU! Kidding. Kidding), then here's wishing 2014 is even better.
May we have a year that has less calamities, whether man-made or from nature's wrath and less fighting.
