All These and More in 2008!
After much thought, I have decided to pursue these personal goals in 2008.
1. Hit target weight and body fat % by end March and maintain these for the rest of the year; develop upper body strength
2. Join a swimming school and survive the water on your own when lessons are over
3. Meet at least 80 new friends from diverse backgrounds within and outside of Singapore ; update contact list based on people you met over the past 3 years
4. Document your life - update blog more regularly, take more photos, track expenses, maintain various personal lists
5. Support independent artists ; develop a higher appreciation for the arts (music, film, theater, design)
6. Strengthen regular prayer and worship life
7. Best effort to take the bus or MRT when traveling on your own but don't punish yourself for taking a cab on a need basis
8. Continue to discover Singapore by checking out a new bar/restaurant/ food center per weekend and by exploring the vicinity of the MRT stations you haven't exited from during the past 1.5 years
9. Take calculated risks in learning how to cook including the use of the oven
10. Volunteer time and effort each quarter to develop the youth or give happiness to the sick or elderly
11. Spend more time browsing business, finance and IT-related sites and be able to discuss basic/recent topics intelligently where appropriate
12. Decide what you want to happen in 2009 and 2010 and take drastic measures to ensure you have a clear view by October 2008

Happy New Year when it comes Leo.
They sound like ambitious resolutions. If I could offer one piece of advice it would be this.
Approach change gradually.
You've outlined what sounds like a new you. How did that work out for you last year? Why not divide your aims into 12 and target one each month?
For example, start the gym in January. Make it your mission for the month. Then something else in February, say more blogging, then March, and so on.
I think you'll find a gradual approach much easier than the all-at-once life changing revolution approach. Easier also means more likely to succeed in my book.
However you do approach your new year, may it bring you happiness and serenity.
Cheers - Callum.
