2014 Resolutions!
1. Maintain 65kg! Build muscles. Swim often.

4. Improve on my financial literacy.
5. Clear my reading backlog! Read 3 new books!

7. Work-life balance. Fewer OTs, more blue-skies-days. Create more time for 'outside' activities.
8. Attend more social events to know more people and widen social circle.
9. Get rid of ills like procrastination, and be punctual.
10. Go on at least 1-2 vacations.

2013 Resolutions Score-card
1. "Weigh 65kg!"
Verdict: Good. Should be hovering between 62-65kg, but I hope the above-60kg level isn't mainly because of the sedentary lifestyle.
2. "Self study Japanese. Attempt Level 2 of JLPT."
Verdict: Failed. Blaming it on the lack of time, and also the lack of motivation to keep up with the learning.
3. "Further improving Cantonese, by watching TVB dramas."
Verdict: Fair. I probably only caught 1-2 dramas over the year, so any improvement in the language will be minimal.
4. "400km running mileage. Improve on timings for half-marathon and full-marathon."
Verdict: Fair. I clocked 412.8km over the year amidst the working life, which is good. On the other hand, timings for both the 21km and 42km were slower in 2013.
5. "Read 3 books!"
Verdict: Failed. Probably the only book that I read was "Rules of Life" by Richard Templar. I attempted to read up on Financial literacy, but was a little bogged down with work.
6. "Feel positive and have motivations to look forward to at work. Not to be dreading work."
Verdict: Failed. The only positive part, was that I have very fun-loving and concerned colleagues.
7. "Find time for 'outside' things. E.g. Volunteering / New hobbies."
Verdict: Good. There were certainly times to take part in activities. I also dedicated myself to weekly dharma classes. And not forgetting, my new commitment in T.H.I.S. Buddhist Film Festival 2014.
8. "Be a more patient person. Both at home and outside."
Verdict: I don't know how to rate, but I believe I did so?
9. "Get rid of ills like procrastination, and be punctual."
Verdict: Fair. Still trying!
10. "Be proper and presentable, both online and offline, both real and virtual worlds."
Verdict: I can't remember why I made this resolution last year?? But I believe I wasn't too improper and un-presentable, right?
It certainly doesn't quite look like a good scorecard, but anyhow, a new list is replacing it this year!
