Tradition states that the first post of the year always states the resolutions of the year so let me start off with the results from the previous years.

2006 : Achieved 9 out of 10.
2007 : Achieved 9 out of 10.
2008 : Achieved 9 out of 10.
2009 : Achieved 9 out of 10.
2010 : Achieved 8 out of 10.
2011 : Achived 8 out of 10

While the 2011 results seem to confirm a declining trend, it was a surprise that for the first time since 2006, the unmet resolution was not the weight loss resolution ! This year managed to lose14kg off my peak weight, and I am currently at -10kg for the year after very terrible holiday food consumption.

The resolutions unachieved were the investment resolution and the run resolution. The investment one I guess was not too clear in the first place and sort of fizzled out after a very busy year at work. As for the run resolution, somehow just did not happen. After I mised the HK marathon due to rain and Guam holidays, I did not even run much at all until late in the year as part of the weight loss initiative and as well as preparation for the 2012 HK marathon.

However here is hoping that we will get back on track with the latest 2012 resolutions !


1. Lose 10 kg. (Lost 14 off peak. To be clear, resolution is to lose ten from here on.)
2. Travel to 2 countries (non HK / Malaysia)
3. Save more than I saved in 2011
4. Complete 4 levels of French courses. (Going really well)
5. Keep home clean and laundry to be done timely.
6. Complete 2 half marathons plus 1 more extra run. (Target one half marathon at 2hours 15 minutes)
7. Make more new friends.
8. Do well at work.
9. Keep up blogging instead of the phenomenal fail this year where nothing was posted in H2.
10. Strengthen family bonds.
