‘07 year end review & ‘08 new year resolution
These were my 2007 new year resolution:
Let’s see what’s the achievements…
Cook more often - FAILED. I am still dead guilty on this. My deepest challenge in this is to buy the ingredients. I can’t go to the wet market, so have to rely on super/hypermarkets. No chance to go marketing, no ingredient to cook! Maybe I’ll bake a pizza this new year eve, but I’ll need to get pizza stone, and the toppings… 
Be more parient with Ian - Okay…. Better than last time, still room for improvement.
Spend more time with children - CHECKED. With the travel budget burst, I stopped traveling in the last 3 months. Stopped completely! Hence, more time with kids. Really enjoyed so much, but it would be hard for a new start in 2008. Children would be very hard to get used to the new schedule…
Take children to parks in the morning - Okay…. More often than the past, though not every weekend mornings. We over slept most of the time. LOL!
Take children to playground more often - CHECKED. More often that’s it, but not very often. The playground is just down there on the ground floor - mostly DH brought them. 
Brush Ian’s teeth every night - CHECKED. Next year I’d need to make this twice a day. 
Bring Ian to visit dentist - CHECKED. His first (and only) visit to dentist was a pleasant one, and he is already looking forward to his next one.
Visit dentist twice (myself) - FAILED. I visited only once, together with Ian. Guilty as dead.
That gives me total score of 5 out of 8, not too bad.
As for 2008, what’s my resolution? To continue from this year’s list:
7 items for 2008, I guess that’s enough. The last item is particularly hard to achieve, which means I have to really really really (I mean REALLY) keep track of my expenses regularly. Not that I’ve overspent a lot, but if I’ve followed regularly…, DH might not be grumbling too much. He kept asking me to buy the book Women & Money
Okay, adding one more to the list:
…AND READ it, of course.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all who visit my blog. May you have a prosperous and great year ahead!

Ian cant brush his own teeth?
strange… no new year resolution with husband?
MamaBok: Happy New Year to you too!
zewt: Ian can brush, but I have to examine and clean up plus flossing for him. And sometimes he refuses to brush his own teeth too! Very difficult…
