NY resolutions that are hard to keep

i was just reading my new year resolutions i wrote in 2000. reflecting back, life was so simple back then. my new year resolutions were like:
1. no smoking no drugs no getting drunk on alcohol ( which i still adhere to)
2. never go beyond 52kg ( haha, yeah rite..i overshot that benchmark by a huge margin)
3. stop talking in class while teacher is teaching( i once got told off for jaw exercising, in front of the whole class, but still carried on)
4. exercise more( not jaws, but the thighs and tummy)

oh well, that was life 5 years ago.

now>

1. survive med school and restrain myself from hating the microbiology and pharm books with a passion.i actually felt like throwing them off the plane and see them vanish into the clouds.
2. discipline to: do quiet time, to do revision at least during weekends ( doubt this will happen though),
3. stop snacking ie: stop falling into the evil trap of the chocolates and cookies that adorn the shelves of tesco.
4. cook more often instead of eating leftovers.
5. stop being hypocritical, as wh says, i feel like a hypocrite a lot of the time, telling ppl one thing, and not practicing it myself. IE: i share the same sentiments as wh, the trusting God issue. its a constant uphill struggle, to REALLY put every thing into His hands. sometimes i think i am a control freak, still trying to control some part of my life, and doubting that He will carry me through it all. Honestly, i find it very difficult to leave everything to Him and trust that it will turn out the good way, and i don't know where to draw the line between dependency and laziness. perhaps its the kiasuness still simmering away....not in terms of studies, but in terms of the course of my life.
6. i need to stop swearing under my breath, even if its inaudible.
7. practice my french and spanish at least 3 times a wk, otherwise i am gonna fail my module.
8. EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE!!! i'm turning into a huge jacket potato that is growing by the seconds. sideways, not upwards.
9. i need to be bolder for God. really. sometimes i feel afraid to tell ppl about Jesus. its something i want to overcome.....and i need the courage.
10. climb kinabalu!!! and go diving!!!!

er, im just putting down 10, i wonder if i can even acheive half of it. prob the most unlikely one will be the exercise one. u guys will be the judge lah.

okieedokiee.e....a toast to 2006! may it be a memorable year for all of us. memorable in a nice way, not with horrible memories!
