Happy New Year...Fingers Crossed!

New Year…hmmmmmm…..New Year………..hmmmmmm…….I still don’t see what it means to me…YET

But yes time for those “resolutions” (“ to indicate me quoting using my fingers in the air – 80’s cliché)

Alright, I have to be honest, unlike common attitude of ‘hell with resolutions, who keeps them anyways’, I do make resolutions every year – although I cant remember what I made last year which makes me doubt if I did actually make any?!!

Ok….straight to the point then….here goes
…yes it’s a list….

  • Get married!
  • Make more money
  • Stress less - Work less
  • Try and leave work at sharp 5.30 if cant sneak out earlier
  • Get Married!
  • Save to meet my financial target with respect to savings (yes I save!)
  • Donate at least upto AED 1000 to charity
  • Work-out at least 3 times a week on average
  • Get Married!
  • Take more care of my skin and hair by drinking atleast 1.5 L of water everyday (Time for loo break!)
  • Enjoy at least 3 vacation breaks this year
  • Avoid working on weekends
  • Get Married!
  • Take more care of my car (the fan belt just broke yesterday…sob!)
  • Get drunk at least once (teetotaler that I am…)
  • Have separate work clothes and party clothes
  • Get Married!

Ok….now that I have finished with my list I do notice a few repetitions like…work less and leave work on time…oops yeah forgot…get married….

But honestly….one of my top priorities….get married…I mean im gonna be freakin 25 in about a month!!!!!! Aaaagggghhhhh!

Not that I haven’t tried all this while…..just that…..ok honestly….either I have been a dud magnet or that all there is!

But seriously, I think it is high time I put down a well thought of check list so that I really know what sort of a life partner I want instead of running around like a head-less chicken!

So this new years is a time for a new me! (Hopefully married rather than single ready to mingle kinds…)

    inshallah!

    thinking of all th other things to make life interesting(besides getting married)..
    - date boys to warm up before marriage
    - buy friends their birthday presents on time (insist of getting yours on time)
    - look for a bigger size in the read dress rather than starving self
    - go blond (ghar ki khaeti hai hai.. re-grow ho ja angae)
    - swear to sleep till 2:00 pm every Friday
    - etc etc
