I guess it is the time of the year again, new year, new plans, new goals.
I tried not to set any goals in the past (partly because I knew I would not follow/achieve any of them hahahahaha).
However, I suppose this year I would like to motivate myself and set goals for myself. I have been in my comfort zone for so long, I need some sort of challenges, hey I have so many more years to go, I can't stay the same all the time aye? Have to 进化to the better keke.
Okay shall start listing all my goals!
- Be fitter and healthier
One thing that I was proud of myself at the end of last year, I started going back to the gym (after paying for the membership since 2011 and BARELY went at all!) yup... I paid for not going, such a waste of money I know, tried to ring to cancel it once i think back in 2012 or 2013, but they said I couldn't cancel it over the phone and have to pop in to see them, AND I WAS THAT CBB and just kept paying instead =.= (bad on me). Partially because of my shift work till late night and they closed at 10pm, I did not have time to go after hours (and I could not be bothered to wake up at 6am to go sweat myself in the gym before work, nor gym on my day off after a 12 hours shift, yup you can say they were all excuses).
Last year, I decided to cancel it for good, went to their website 1 last time to check out anything good (eg gym classes, attend one or 2 before cancelling), then found out the gym near to mine just become 24/7 for 2 weeks. I was so excited because I always hoped my gym is 24/7 like some other ones so I can go after work :). See how I tried to cancel twice and something else turned up to stop me hehe, must be a sign from God hehe. So I started straight away, think it was back in October or November on the days that I work (roughly 3-5x a week).
不过因为十二月从印尼回来时生病了，加上工作开始很忙，所以直到过年一个多月没去了。不过今晚终于下定决心又开始！I've decided that if I were to stop attending for 2 months straight, I shall cancel my gym membership!!
Proof of my first gym session for 2016, pardon my 丑态 哈哈哈哈 (eye bags and break outs from late nights haihs need to fix that!)
So yeah, be fit and healthier, going to gym is part of the plan (I definitely find my stamina to have improved :). 我不期望会有个苗条有骨感的身材, i am not born with that sort of genes & have accepted that fact, but at least I want to be healthier and look healther, fit enough to climb mount fuji in future is my goal! :)
2ndly, eat healthier and sleep earlier and drink more water!!! sounds simple? But I don't do it =.=, or haven't been in the past..........................................
- COOK MORE!
Last year end (又是去年年底！）I started cooking more. Not that I didn't cook at all in the past, just mainly cooked for myself (dump everything.. veges fish balls eggs mushrooms you name it into a pot and boil them and then add noodles, macam eating 火锅 LOL, but that Was my staple in the past!) I blamed that on long 12 hours working shift again, and CBB cooking on days off because to me day off IS a DAY OFF (those who constantly work long shifts, 你懂的). 然后，出现了转机~ my brother, who was a vegetarian, decided to add fish in his diet! (之前我的借口之一是嫌他麻烦不知要煮什么给他）.So again I got excited and started to find stuff to cook for us. 他一开始觉得很奇怪我怎么突然开始下厨，thought it was for the other half xD.
Anyways, I have been craving for korean food for a while, and since flights to KOREA is pretty expensive, I can't just book and fly over there like what I did for japan =.=. Went online came across a korean youtuber called Maangchi who has plenty of korean cuisine recipes, and alot of them are simple to follow (mind you I am a very 懒散 and 嫌麻烦 person and if the steps are complicated or if I can't get the ingredients from my local grocer I will not proceed further!). SO 我决定从她拿下手！I am glad I came across her, tried a few of her recipes (including the tuna pancakes) and they worked out well :)
I always love soft tofu stew, and the ones I have from Rundle mall food court just doesn't cut it, so decided to make my own! I was impressed!! LOVE IT!! (thanks to the recipe!)
When I first saw the recipe to make these bread rolls, I was amazed at how easy it looks! So I tried it (after more than 1 month, talk about being lazy and also having baking phobia lol 我讨厌把手弄脏，have truely overcome that by now hehe)..
So far I have baked or used flour multiple times, partly motivated to finish off the soon to expire flour!
So yup 2016 definitely more cooking + baking!!!!! to 省钱 (暂时还没省到，because I started spending money on baking gadgets =.=)
more goals, but I think I have typed enough. will continue on later, =) hopefully not half a year later lol.. need to shower its nearly 12am! (oh wells what to do, late shift late gym late everything =/)
PS: the above goals were sort of my past year (not mentioned) resolutions that I have been failing to achieve. so hopefully this year I will actually do something and be persistent in it =)
