resolutions, baby they come and go

what's a new year without a new set of unrealistic resolutions?

1. finish reading all the novels that i had ever bought
   
2. don't get conned/coerced into making expensive and useless purchases (e.g. facial package)
3. eat four servings of fruits and vegetables everyday
4. achieve my target savings rate of 20-25% (for my grad trip & year-end vacation)
   
5. learn to speak a new language (bahasa melayu would be useful for my work, but japanese/korean would make drama-watching more pleasurable for me)
   
6. reduce attrition from the list of people i still keep in touch with
7. fit into all the clothes which have become too tight for me ):
8. overcome my phobia of creepy crawlies, repeated patterns, and contamination
9. accomplish 35% of my resolutions (up from the 28.6% for 2008)
   

with clear directions to where i'm heading, i'm good to go now!
