Happy New Year 2009

Another year has gone and another year to look forward to. Part of me is looking forward to this New Year but part of me really isn’t very excited about it. 2008 was not so great for me, there were really good times but really bad ones as well.

I just am about to complete my first new year resolution this year and then I’m going to go spend time making a few more resolutions to decide where am I heading. I spent a lot of money yesterday in my slight depression, first, all the branded shops are having good sales so I got a new pair of shoes from Massimo Dutti and some clothes for my kid from Pumpkin Patch (finally saw really cute and nice clothes for boys! It’s normally the girls who have the really nice fashions.) Almost bought a branded bag costing RM1K or more but knew it’s not going to make me feel any better about myself. Which is why, I’m now glad I didn’t get it, since I’ve got a huge credit card bill awaiting me next month and I can stop contemplating on getting the bag every hour at the back of my mind.

There is more to life than material wealth; I need to learn that sometimes. I know it but I may not practice it. During this economic instability, I need to be more vigilant in the way I spend. I’ve already booked a much needed holiday overseas so I think I’ve rewarded myself enough. It’s time to roll up the sleeves and work on my job and giving my kid a good preschool education.

This is my advice to myself this New Year.
