The retired drama queen…

In the
attempt to curb my fear of frustration, my New Year resolutions for the past
many-many years have always been To Be a Better Person. It’s very abstract, you
see, so at the end of the year, when I ask myself about the success rate of the
previous resolution and I can kelentong some really good answers to respond and
satisfy myself.

Since my
pretty self is also pretty smart so conning her isn’t exactly easy; had my
resolution been To Wash My Car Regularly Myself, it is quite a challenge to
reassure yours truly whilst indeed the car had been washed frequently; could
that be me washing it? It is difficult to manipulate the mind into believing
that that fella washing the car is myself when I am perfectly aware that my
limbs are not as hairy, my chest are much more fleshy and my teeth are not as
pearly as those Indian immigrants working at the Esso car wash.

Susah you see?

So I
stick to the intangible resolution – To Be a Better Person. I can at any moment
produce 1001 reasons why I am a better person this year than I was the last.

This year
I allowed teenagers to call me Kak instead of shoving French Fries up their
teenage nostrils. Walla! What an improvement!

Last year
I washed my own socks, this year I washed my socks and Azman’s socks, I washed a
whole lot more socks than ever! What a better person I have become!?

I have definitely
achieved my resolution! Yeaa!!

But
explaining this to my girlfriends is pointless. They are so bloody neat they
are hoping to hear some meaty stuff like This Year I Will Work My Ass off Till
I Get Promoted as the CEO or This Year I will Master Metaphysic and Apply It in
My Socks Washing Chore.

Come to
think about it having riskier resolutions are not so bad after all.
Why would
I even bother to create an action plan against blewing away yet another
perfectly vague New Year resolution when by June I would be dead convinced that
I never even have any resolutions in the first place?????

* The
mind is a very complicated thing *

Fine! Let
me think of something fancy. Hmm…

My
resolutions for the year of 2007 are:

I resolve
to eat more vegetables and fruits. I will drink more than 2 glasses of water
per day. I resolve to wash my face before I go to bed. I will finish a bottle of
facial toner in the duration of one (1) year or before the product quality date
expires. I will buy a sun block. Then I will use it everyday. I resolve to save
more money. I will buy fewer earrings. I will exercise!  I will climb a mountain. I will be Jessica
Alba!!! I will name my baby Miki!! I will remember my resolutions!! I will! I
will!
