You can probably tell by now that I am a sucker for lists. My planner is filled with everyday to-do lists or a list of things to buy, music to download, places to go to and more. Even at work, I always create a list before I even start my shift. I find enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment every time I tick something off from my list and when I see how much I have done at the end of the day.
Obviously from the title itself, this is another list. A list to start my year right not through an enumeration of resolutions (because I suck at that so I don't bother making it anymore. Took me years to admit that! Haha! Might as well just try my very best to be a good human being in general. Lols.) but through things that I want to do for this year (which is more exciting than the resolutions that I have in mind, e.g. less shopping -- not impossible but we all know that is hard for me so why bother? Haha!)
Anyway, here are my 14 things for 2014 (these are in random order but the bigger photos are definitely the main ones):
1. Learn how to drive
NEVER IN MY 25 YEARS OF EXISTENCE DID I EVER WISH, LET ALONE WANT, TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE. Until I lived in a place where it is necessary to learn how to do it. *facepalm* WISH ME LUCK, PEOPLE. Haha!
2. Get a driver's license
To make number 1 legit. Let's take it all the way.
3. Sydney trip with my brothers
Hopefully this May or June! :)
4. Finish one book every month
Last year, I thought finishing two books a month is a piece of cake. Of course, if you are not busy studying and working (and falling asleep while doing it and in between), it isn't hard to keep up with that target. Maybe just one book a month would be enough.
5. GO BACK HOME FOR HOLIDAYS.
By hook or by crook!
6. Learn how to create patterns and sew clothes
If I had to choose between wearing clothes or making it, I would honestly and wholeheartedly prefer the latter. I can save more in creating than shopping! If I hadn't left, I would have enrolled in a patternmaking and sewing class. I guess it's time to do that now.
7. Move to Sydney for my Master's Degree
I lodged my application late last year so I'm just waiting for the offer from the university. If I find a good job there during or after studying, I'll stay there most likely. We'll see. Or I might move back to Brisbane after that, who knows.
8. Learn how to make cocktails (and be a self-made bartender perhaps -- why not? Haha.)
It seems fun! Something random to learn. Then I can be my own bartender at my own par-tay (or my friend's party) and make my own combo! :) But hey, I am neither an alcoholic nor a party girl. Let's be clear on that.
9. A in my OET
so I can...
10. Stay for good in Australia
11. Learn basic Spanish
Just because I feel like to. The same way I feel like learning how to make cocktails.
12. Go and fly solo (or probably with a friend) to Singapore
13. Be fit and healthy. (and achieve Nicole-Scherzinger-kind-of-abs. Haha!)
Okay, so maybe the Nicole-Scherzinger-kind-of-abs part may be too much. Probably a little less intense than that as a bonus will be more than enough. Toning and physical health is the ultimate goal.
14. Make use of my Australian RN license
I didn't go all the way here for nothing! :)
There you go, my 14 things for 2014! :) Now, let's get down to business, shall we?
