Office just celebrated New Year this afternoon and one of the activities was sharing our New Year's resolutions.
I have stopped counting down and making resolutions years ago. Like many others, I don't keep them so it's meaningless to go through the ritual.
But for today's activity, I muttered something like work-life balance (well, on an joyous event like this, you don't want to be a wet blanket by sharing your belief and philosophy on New Year's resolutions).
If you have goals to make, targets to set, why wait till or do it only on New Year? You can do it anytime of the year.
Nevertheless, I still look forward to a new year. Though not much luck, I always hope that next year would be better than present.
Sometimes the most simple things in life, are the most difficult to achieve o_o

Souvenirs? Thanks But No Thanks
It's time of the year to do some spring cleaning.
Surfaced many items that are not practical, such as key chains, clock, bottle opener and chopsticks among others. These are souvenirs bought by friends and colleagues when they travel. Over time, one really does not know what to do with them. To throw them away is a waste; to keep them takes up space; to recycle is not appropriate. So every year, I will take them out from the cabinet and put them back after cleaning the shelves.
A better way to go green and save money is to buy titbits or foodstuff when go on travelling, rather than spending money on keepsakes. People can appreciate the country's delicacies and foodstuff doesn't have long shelf life.
Of course, this has not solved my storage problem this year. But hopefully next year, there will be a flea market in my neighbourhood again.

Bless You !
Were working on my resume when I received a sms from an ex-colleague whom we worked together in my first full-time job (that was 10 years ago).
During this festive season, I want to thank those who believe in me and never give up on me.
Have a Blessed Christmas!
