A new year and one with resolutions that i am resolute to achieve... It is placed on the left side of the screen and i will tr my best to apply S.M.A.R.T. in publishing my goals.
S - specific
M - measurable
A - achievable
R - relevant
T - time based
I try to apply what i have been preaching to my students. Alas, we are human after all and then to err, BUT, we shall do.
This year, a lot is about fitness and health.. I received quite a shock when i did a body analysis on the 3rd of Jan 2010. Results that were shown were dismal. My body age was 40yrs old, antioxidant count was in the lowest spectrum of 14,000.. my resting metabolism rate was 1,666 (which was the lowest amongst my family members anyway!).. My BMI was 27 plus, my weight was 73.3kg with a height of 163cm.. and body fat analysis wasn't that encouraging either with something called visceral fat level which was higher than normal...
Quite an eye-opener to begin the year with. Initially i thought this year needed no resolutions. It was no special and the transition to 2010 was just like any other day. However, after that day, i recalled teaching participants and advocating setting of goals so as to have directions in life.. and i felt compelled to craft my own goals.
On another note, besides fitness... other things i aimed to improve is my financial status which mainly culminates around managing my finances well. Water seems to leak right out of my bank account and i can't seem to spot the leak to fix it!
Other than that, love life has been great! The gf has been adapting to my working life and she seems to have worked with it. Now, she has finished school and began on her own journey of passion in education. Both of us are now educators albeit in a different field, though complementing! :)
I too am now officially an uncle and my little neph and nieces can start to call me PPJ...
I wonder when will i have to finally reveal to Danie that i am his uncle rather than his ONLY cuzzin... I tried the other day at Malaysia but he seems to be adamant calling me Cuzzin... so cute! AND talkative!! Hahaha..
May Allah guide us all..bless us with happiness and health n protect us from the dangers of this world, physically or mentally. Help us become successful people in the world and after...
