Here I Come 2009!!

The lovely Kak Hanizah gave this to me..

In a nutshell, 2008 for me was a year of changes..

From Finance to ICT Management

From timid to ruthless

From weak to strong

But one thing that still remains is...IM STILL FAT!

For 2009..this is what i plan to do..

1) To be more IT savvy, and not to shy away from new things...I should embrace change!

2) To read more current events and non-fiction, i need to keep up to date with the world around me..i'm old enough to understand that ignoring the truth does not change it

3) To have a body even Beyonce would envy..so im hitting the gym and pool for the much needed exercise, not eating rice, eating small portions..and of course, not sleeping after meals..(Im notorious for that)

4) To open my heart and appreciate those who love me..sometimes the right person has been staring at you in the face for so long, and yet i have yet to see him..but i think im getting there..please doa for me..IAK..Im totally in love with you..
