i guess this is how people's resolutions fizzle as the months of the new year go by. my MS haitus as i said was either intentional or unintentional. seriously speaking, very likely i had been busy with work and i had no chance to think exactly what i wanted to do for the two months.
i kinda predicted that the month of April was going to awfully crazy and i was pretty right. work occupied most of my time, yet thinking of an ad hoc trip to taiwan kept me going.
May came and went. reminising about Taiwan occupied most of my time and also getting into the reality that the project which lasted 3 long years was finally over needed some adjustment. it's like an actor getting so involved in a role and finding it a tad difficult to move on.
Fortunately, i had the chance to do a strength finder exercise and had the chance to relook into myself again. Secretly, i know i will adjust to the new projects ok it's just a matter of getting the engine started and Taiwan did rejuvenated me somehow. it was a well deserved holiday and i definitely had a great companion!
ok, anyway June MS i have not thought of anything as yet.
In reference to what i wanted to do over the last couple of months like taking up a course etc... i have taken up two courses.
Yoga every Monday (course fee sponsored by my youngest bro in support of my healthy lifestyle - so i guess he does read my blog on and off) and Piano lesson every Thursday. This Thursday will be my first lesson and i have signed up together with Edeline.
Ambitiously, i am considering signing up for Korean class soon. i am also thinking of learning how to make kimchi and other korean dishes!! Soon i'd be an owner of a real life tomato plant.. likely to be this Sunday. All these Korean gaga is because of JGS and the latest Korean drama i am watching which is 食客. All the dishes in the drama are so inspiring! Learning piano has been a childhood dream and am even more inspired after watching Beethoven Virus (also starring JGS)..
Ok so for the month of June, my MS are as such:
Life and health - i shall be less ambitious this month.
1) Go for my Yoga and Piano classes religiously and regularly
2) Try to sleep early on weekdays
3) If point 2 happens, i should have energy to go for BTNR trips again
4) Save even more money (though i think i am doing pretty good on this currently so i must keep up the good work)
5) Finish a book
6) Take more photos
7) Read the papers
8) Learn THE SECRET
I still try to drink a bottle of water regularly and i need to continue to further improve. Bro has agreed to go jogging with me, but he is equally busy this month. We'll see when we'd start. i am thinking of riding bicycle. less impact on the knees.
Let's see what happens this month. :)

not sure how i should do this. as in if i never fulfil my Jan mon-solutions, do i carry them over or add on to feb's list.
i think i will trial and error. For Feb, i will carry them over and make sure i will try to fulfil them so that i can proceed with new MS in the next month..
FEB's list
LIFE
1) Take a good shower once a week. Including scrubs and exfoliation and putting on lotion.
2) Write 2 letters
3) Go to office on time, if not earlier so can leave on time when the sun is still shiny
4) Rest early - at least 3 times a week and by 11pm
5) Eat right - fruit juice or fruits and vege included
Continue to drink 1 bottle of water per day when at work.
SPENDING
1) No shoes for Feb
2) Buy pillow and quilt
3) Be debt free (excluding credit cards) for this month
4) Credit card spending should not exceed $600
5) Continue to look out for cheap bargains from G Market.
Recapping Jan's list, comments in red for updates
LIFE
1) Drink a lot of water - finish at least 1 bottle of water during work
- Managed to do this at least 3 times a week, so i will continue this. Water is good to clear away toxins.
2) Pack my room by month end
- disaster struck when the hanging pole dropped. it was a wake up call to get rid of clothes not worn for a long time. of which i did, but didnt pack much of the room though coz i haven't got my pillow and quilt. supposed to put up new bedsheets by CNY.
3) Rest early - at least 3 times a week and by 11pm
- this i failed miserably. some nights i even stayed up till 4am in the mornings. so not good!
4) Write a letter
- havent managed to, so i'd need to write 2.
5) Eat right - at least 1 fruit juice and some fruits 5 days a week
- managed once or twice a week sometimes more on others, so will still continue to try and do better coz not good enough.
SPENDING
1) Shop for CNY clothes in G market
- managed to do that. got more than enough required. may have overspent here but bigger quantity so can change many times.
2) Can only purchase 1 pair of shoes below $50
- failed. got two and may still need to get 1 more.. for CNY..
3) Big item purchases will be two good quality pillows and a quilt
- havent got them. i think i will only get 1 pillow coz i realised the other pillow i don't usually use.
4) Clear all debts before CNY
- mostly done. a bit more to go.
5) Credit card expenditure should not exceed $600 inclusive of instalment item
- overspent by $400.. still need more discipline.
On a side note, i signed up for a cooking lesson last week and will be attending another lesson on making tiramisu. Thinking of signing up CHI Yoga and see what other cooking lessons will pop up.
i think i will trial and error. For Feb, i will carry them over and make sure i will try to fulfil them so that i can proceed with new MS in the next month..

Mon-solutions 2010
frankly, there is no such word as above i mean if spelt joint like that. but googling it shows some results. interestingly, very scientific related. so scientific until i have no interest to read up on it.
there is also company name Monsolution (Metro Oriented Network solutions) which i gather deals with network related issues of which when i accessed the home page, the links are not active. interestingly, "mon" is also defined as a tool for monitoring the availability of services, and sending alerts on prescribed events. somehow related to some form of my work scope to a certain extend.
anyway, i am not exactly interested in science, nor am i trying to further analyse the work which i do everyday. actually, it is in relation to my resolutions for 2010. i am thinking of a more creative way for me to fulfill my 2010 resolution list.
it's quite unusual of me to stop blogging for the year and reflect and then make plans for the new year. perhaps what happened in 2009 made me want to reconsider how i want to do things for 2010. as i was thinking of my entries for 2010 list, i thought and thought and realised something.
have you ever seriously look at the word 'RESOLUTION'?
before i posted this entry, i looked up the dictionary to look into the meaning, but then, it didnt have the meaning which i thought was staring me in the eye. who doesn't know what resolutions means right? who also doesnt know that we usually don't keep to what we resolve to do for the year right. i found the answer, i don't know if you'd agree with me..
look at the words, REpeat, REassign, REwind, REvisit, REplay.. what are the similarity other than the two alphabets 'R' and 'E'? they are verbs which requires actions to be done again. ie, to go back again to do the same thing. does that answer you why we have to list out the same list year after year? hmm.. it does for me. we are planning to RE do our TO DO list for the next year.. no wonder some people gave up planning what to do. we have been embedded with the thought in our subconcious mind that we need to repeat the same round of action next year. makes sense?
so this year, instead of listing my resolutions, i decided to come up with a TO DO list for each month and call it MON-SOLUTIONS: solutions for each month to make life worth living and money last longer. in short a lazy person who has a lower level of determination so that somethings will work out for the year.
the list will be listed according to Spending and Life and each heading will have 5 items max. i am not sure if it's greedy or it's more helpful, in any case maybe it's easier. supposedly, if everything goes well by the last couple of days of each month, i should have my list ready for the next month. which makes this a mandatory 'TO DO' item if i want to make my next month worth living.
to start off for JAN 2010, my MON SOLUTIONS are:

Put MON-SOLUTION from thoughts to script
