Today is the first day of 2014 ~ last night I watched the countdown and fireworks from the window of my partner's flat ... when I was younger I only ever watched it on TV with my family and I think 2 years ago was the first time I ever saw the fireworks live when me and Shanzy decided to actually go and see it for real (terrible experience but the fireworks did look amazing).
Last year I celebrated the new year 7 hours earlier than usual as I was in Malaysia and although it was still fun I really missed London's fireworks ~ trust me guys ... London never fails to impress with the New Year fireworks display.
This year, I literally wanted to just stay indoors and enjoy the beautiful sparks lighting up the sky (no TV and no crazy drunk people lol) and luckily it was possible ... thanks to my lovely partner :) ~

As always, this time of year is when everyone makes their new year's resolutions ~ while I was looking at the fireworks I stood there in silence thinking about my previous resolutions and what I should do this year, then I realised that I never truly follow my long list of resolutions ... and if I ever have followed them, then probably only until mid January and tend to forget them for the rest of the year.
In roughly 8 months from now I will be hitting a quarter of a century ~ I'm sitting here thinking wow I've been here since 1989 and now it's 2014 .... I think it's about time I got my act together and set 10 realistic goals (not a crazy long list) and hopefully I can achieve some of those goals by the time I turn 25 at the end of August ~ then I will have 4 months to review those goals before 2015.
MY GOALS:
- Finish my University degree with either a 2:1 or a First
- Get a job and work hard
- Save money and get my finances in check
- Buy a badminton racket and play badminton more often
- Buy a detox tea such as 'YourTea TinyTeatox' and stick to it
- Regularly participate in English-Korean language exchange
- Plan a trip to either India, America, Canada, Dubai or South Korea (and go anytime before 2015)
- De-clutter my room (or all the rooms in the house)
- Record tutorials and reviews for the OhMaiSS Youtube Channel
- Keep a daily journal to mark down the following: proactive/reactive, positive/negative, early/on time/ late, healthy/unhealthy, kind/hurtful etc
I'll be updating you guys on this later in the year ~^.^~
Please leave a comment below and tell me what goals you have set for 2014 :)
bye guyz ~
