New Year 2010... belated

It's been..... 2 weeks now since I got back to Malaysia. Spending new year on the plane wasn't anything special at all and I guess I was either watching movies, sleeping or having dinner around that time. Landed safely at KLIA around 8-ish, collected my baggage and met my parents, after 10 months. Nothing change, still the same old mom that starts to nag the next day but maybe some changes from dad. He seems to be getting really forgetful and careless. Got back to the apartment and started to remove all the stuff I bought for home which includes 10x chocolates (all distributed), 2 bottles of wine, some spices, 4x honey. My baggage was overweight this time, for the first time. That's how heavy all these stuff were cause I did not bring back many clothes. Cleaned myself after that and straight onto my computer, checking mails and chatting, telling people that I am back in M'sia!!
Since I got back, I've manage to catch up with some friends (after 2 and half years), ate nasi lemak, curry mee, lam mee, char koay teow, tom yum and home cook food (soup every night + 2 dishes ... feels like... home). Yet to eat penang laksa, all sorts of kuih, cny cookies and many more. What I did not eat was INSTANT noodles!!! For a whole 2 weeks, which is a record. I will usually have at least one packet a week back in NZ. But what I did not like is I am gaining weight with all these food consumed and zero energy output. I manage to go for a BC class in Sunway when I went down to KL for the weekend and found out that my fitness went down the drain, and getting worst is its going to be flush away too! Its either I work out more often or cut down on the food, which is stupid since I will only have another month of yummy food! So that's only the other option. Found out that there's a new gym opening in Jusco called Fitness Embassy. This will be the first gym that will have a studio room and a cycling room in Ipoh. Can't wait until they have Les Mills classes so the next time I am back, I know where to go in Ipoh and don't need to go all the way to KL anymore.
Besides going to KL for weekends, I am practically at home 24/7, either sleeping or watching series or becoming a driver, fetching my friend that is staying in my place for 3 weeks. I did manage to go out for movies and yum cha's but that's' all. I guess I should enjoy my holiday now because some people I know are complaining how they dislike their working life from 8-5pm and no holidays, so I shall shut up. Can't wait till everyone comes back for CNY but that means it's time for me to leave. I will make sure I enjoy my time with all of you.
Oh ya, new year resolution! Totally forgotten about it. I know I usually make like a whole 10 list of my new year resolution every year but I think this year there's only going to be a few.

1. Pass all my exams and graduate by 2011.
2. Be a better Christian and serve God all the time.
3. Be thrifty.
4. Be a better friend to everyone and not so ignorant.
5. Be a better instructor.
6. Be a patient person.

This will be this year's resolution. Just realised that I had almost the same one last year but I did not manage to fulfil it. Did not manage to pass all my exams and graduate by 2010, did not save money and was not hardworking enough. But I manage to become fitter, got an instructor's job, did not hate anyone, and definitely made more friends. That's 7/10 done. Hopefully this year, with only 6 on the list, I will manage to follow it. Happy New Year 2010!
