2/3 Gone, 1/3 Remain

One day, I saw this and re-tweeted on twitter-sphere:

Without realising, 2/3 of the year 2012 had just gone by and now with only 120 days left at my disposal, which quickly reminded me of the resolution I made earlier.  So a swift reference to what I have determined way back in January 4, here's what I have done (unveiling the good and the bad O.o) :

1) To blog twice a week.

PHAILED!! Terribly failing in this department.  Before realising how mad busy a person I am, I thought I was able to do it.  When the initial signs crept up signaling that it is no longer possible for my situation, I thought "Okaaaay....., how about by averaging, it doesn't have to be 2  posts a week, just as long I have 104 entries a year".  Guess what?

PHAILED!!  FML!!  I got busier than anticipated.  To have 104 entries is totally out of reach.  To compensate, I slashed the target by 50%, 52 it'll be which by averaging, its 1 post a week.  To date, am having 37 entries including this, so, I hope this adjusted target is reachable.  Even if it does not, as long as the posts are with content, I am happy.  So, a minimum of 15 posts to go before year end.  Can I do it?  FML! FML! Major F-king my life!

2) To reduce my credit card debts.

Needless to say, I have been updating every month of my latest figures. And the most updated numbers are shown at the end of this post. Although I have somewhat made progress, but you will soon find out I may be going back to where I started. Approaching year end is always an out of pocket situation in this yearly life cycle of mine. WTF, mucho F-king my life again! Awwww, sucking my yearly dejavu rendesvous *blackened long face*.

3) Making this world a better place to live in.

At times, I see progress.  Other times, it gets worse.  Just where are we heading?  My hope is all for moving forward positively.  Make this a better world to live in.  Help as many people as possible. There are people in need, much more needing attention than I do.  Hence, I'm putting on my "for life betterment" hat by helping out in the coming KK Befrienders World Suicide Prevention Day Awareness Walk, to be held on Sept 9, 6.30am at the Likas Sports Complex, Kota Kinabalu.  The theme is "Life is Precious".  Indeed its precious, so come and assemble at the carpark fronting the Indoor Climbing Centre.  I'll be passing you one of these bands. ;-) Click on the above link to find out more of the programme.  Lucky draws include winning iPads and other peripherals.

4) To do more travelling

I did.  I went up to Ranau to enjoy the cooling environment & seeing the majestic Mount Kinabalu at a near distance and I went down to Kinarut to enjoy the beach side which still quite untouched as compared to the beaches up north near Tuaran.  Yet, they do not give me the satisfying ummph of enriching my knowledge nor life.  So, I made a 180° diversion and arranged a year end trip to KL which is totally unintended for.  AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY my item 2) is mentioned as such.  YEAR END TRIPS ARE NOT CHEAP!  Well, even KL may not be the ideal place to go to as I have been there for Ns and Ns of times. Sigh, at least the H&M store will be opened by then and I may leave my footprints on the corridor/walkway leading to KLCC from Pavilion. :P  What a lame life I have.  I just hope this trip will fulfil my emptiness and meet my need for enrichment.  Oh, and also to give Cheeky and Manja the much needed adventure and discovery beyond their usual locality.  The boys have only travel on planes not more than the count of fingers on 1 hand. FTL & FML, I'm a bad mommy, lazy in planning and packing luggage :P.

5) To get a purse.

This is easy.  And is supposed to be the 1st to achieve. But guess what?  Here's the purse I'm still using :

Well, maybe I'll finally find one in KL.  Or maybe the right one will appear before my eyes soon.  Just do not understand why it is so hard for me to get one that I like. Did the world ran out of things I want?  Ya, I'm all grumpy, but that's okay.  On a forethought, I love window shopping.  So visiting shopping malls and their stores again and again is a pleasure stroll for me.  How about you?

So, with 120 days in our pocket, that is if you're counting from Sep 2, or lesser if you believe in the Nostradamus prophecy and Mayan Calendar, how awesome will you make this year to end?  Lets buck up and drive our life to awesome-ness! I'm all for the win!! FTW!!

Update 20120226

WOOT!!  Where did I go?  On top of my crunching day time job I can't really say I got myself involve in else..... or maybe on top of the job is my health.  I was aching all the way with mouth ulcer pain-ess.  So painful were they as its not only 1 but 2 bloody horrendous ulcers.  Rubbing with salt aggravated them further till this agony was made a history, for the 1st time in my life, in near to 2 weeks, to finally getting the horrible pain out of my system.  I'm still spotting the leftover mark on the inner part of my lower lip.  Can't wait to bid goodbye to them forever. Shoo! Shoo!

Because of this, I've been taking lots of  drinking water and be in bed early.  Not forgetting the cafe below my office which had been supplying and made herbal tea drinks available for this weather now turning hot and humid under the scorching sun.  Let me see, I think I took 10 glasses at RM1.50 per unit........ THAT'S RM15 IN TOTAL!!!  %^&$#@!  Ulcer, Y U no gentle to my pocket???

Anyway, I wanted to start off my 1st post on money management, but b'coz of the above mentioned situation, this was put on hold.  The post is sorta only 1/4 done.  Sigh!!  Really need to find time to complete it.  But be warned, once its finished, it may be a long ass and confusing post.  Where to find time???  I'm currently rushing with many office events to handle..... which comes with the non stop meetings.  Meetings after meetings and after more meetings makes vkitty's daily life a hectic one...... of eternal service to other people. WTF! FML!!  Gotta turn this around!!

Hence, TING! TING! (question marks blinking above my head) the million dollar question of the day is:

HOW TO HAVE ALL THE TIME TO MYSELF WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT SHORTAGE OF $$$?

Hee-hee, you need to wait for my next post.  I'll reveal to you.  I'm ending here with a pic which will also be in that particular post:

Nighty-night and sweet dreams.  For those who are at the other side of the globe, I bid you a very good morning ;-)

** Yes, this post was prepared last night hence the nighty night greeting above.  But it's now publish at AGAIN, at...... 9am.  *slapping my forehead* *I'm hopeless with schedules*

Grrrrr......... ;(

Have not been into the blogging juice for awhile.  Besides writer's block, I blame it on 3 things. The blaming part is of lame excuse, but then again, somewhat bugging me.  So here goes:

First, it was the internet connection.  Streamyx had been playing up with my bill.  Refrained me from online for 4 days before I found out.  Then on the 5th day, it took them 24 hrs to reconnect me to cyber world.  WTF!  It has always been okay for me to be late by a few days, but somehow, they must have sneaked on my luck and turned 180 degrees against me.  No fun! Considering I have been paying every month, though late.  How about those who have not been paying for months? (If there is such luckier person than me)  When r u going to chase after them?

Then there is the pageview counter which totally drained out my motivation mojo.  It's almost to a month soon and I have yet to solve the problem with my choice of counter.  I need stats!!  I need to know how I'm doing.  Yet the counter on my page now is totally playing tricks on me.  I mean, yes I'm no expert in widgets stuff, afterall I admit my weakness in my very first post, right?  Adding salt to the wound, is my terribly hectic lifestyle of balancing between work and family.  Sigh, anyway, since holiday is juuuuuuuuuuussstt right round the corner, I hope to solve this dilemma ASAP or else, I may be dragging my feet at an even worse pace.  So not funny in this dept!!

And finally, I kinda loss my chio component.  Zits r mushrooming on this "I've been trying really hard to maintain" face of mine.  Gosh, I feel sooooooooooooo Blah!  to a stage that I couldn't care less if I turn into a hag overnight.  I've not been into the lotions nor moisturizers for god knows for how long!!  Eeeeeekk!! It's going to be CNY, I have GOT to buck up!!

Okay, that's all, no chio pic of mine for now until I can conceal all these blemishes of mine.  So, I've slapped tonnes of oh my god only he knows the amount of liquid I'm wearing now on my bare soul!!

Ending my post with a humble wish to my readers who are celebrating CNY. 

Counting down with 2 days to go  :
