Reviewing my 2023 New Year Resolutions

Today's post will be a review of how well I have achieved my 2023 New Year's Resolutions. The original resolutions are in black, while my review is in blue.

Baby

- No phones during meal times (this is really tough at times because there're peak periods with short deadlines, but I have been successful for 75% of the time so far)

More or less achieved. Perhaps 85%?

- Go swimming at least once a month

Failed miserably. Did not go at all, except when we went to Sentosa with my in-laws.

- Do some acro/exercises with baby at least once every week

We didn't do this every week, but we did unlock some milestones and baby A can balance on my hands. He loves it.

- Read library books/sing to bb every day

We didn't use library books, but we had picture cards that we used towards the end of the year. A's starting to talk and he can say quite a few words like 奶奶、狗狗、猫猫, bal (hair in Hindi), pan (as in pani, for water in Hindi), milk, Nah (for Narayan hahaha), poo poo, pee pee, dog, jaan, oh no (hahaha), ball ball.

Finances

- Re-organize my finances (I have already created a template based on the youtube channel "Lisa's Adulting in Singapore"'s excel sheet. Go check her out if you're new to personal budgeting and financial planning!

Done 100%.

Health

- Go on nature walks at least once a week

Failed, but we do walk downstairs frequently.

- Stretch at home every day

Failed, but at one point in time when MIL was here I did yoga classes at least once a week.

- Sleep by 10 - 11pm every day

85% of the time. So I think pretty good.

- Plan breaks for the whole year (e.g. holiday trips, birthday celebrations, festivities)

Hubs helped to plan MIL's birthday. I think we had a few proper celebrations (towards the start of the year) and I also got Christmas presents for the nieces & nephews. We also had an awesome Penang trip.

Elemit Yoga

- Create new website (I have already started so yay! But I still have to wait for the website SSL certificate to be approved...hope it will be approved by tonight...)

Done, but we will be switching back to the old website since the new hosting provider is more expensive without the promo codes.

Home

- Re-organize the wardrobes so that my MIL can have one wardrobe to herself. So terrible right, she was here for months but we only managed to give her one drawer...so that definitely has to change lol.

Done, but I'm improving the organization with more plastic drawers since there are just too many things. With the drawers it would also be easier to find stuff.

- Paint the door frame (I had put this off because I fell prego and didn't want to inhale the toxic fumes.)

Done.

Personal Skills

- Learn to make vegan almond cookies

Done. I even learnt to make kueh lopez and also went on a men's haircutting course.

I think in general I did quite well? I rate myself 85-90%. This New Year's Resolution thingy is really quite useful and I shall do my 2024 list tomorrow!

TTFN~

A post in a million years

Haha... Ok I'm gonna admit I'm a genius. CAN U BELIEVE IT? I fall sick during the hols=.= My friends, u don't see me missing from sch right? The last time I fell sick was also during the last one week hol... BUT I DID have a GREAT VACATION! LOL notice I use "vacation" instead of holiday. Went to korea for 7 days (5 nights actually). Followed the tour group which was really nice. Not cuz of the ppl, cuz they were quite shy even when I kinda tried to talk to them, but cuz of the tour guide. GOD he was so funny...He has loads of stories to tell and tho he's from a traditional family, he has a "naughty" side. Besides smoking, he rides a motorbike, has 2 piercings (acceptable), a tattoo on his chest (acceptable) and fights (the only thing he admits is his weakness). But he's really knowledgeable. He's from korea's second best uni! Second best really means second best (in terms of marks)- out of 300, u need to get at least 290 to get into the f

Vegan Dunkin Donuts (Singapore)

Everytime my significant other comes to visit me, I start thinking of all the junk food that I want to indulge in with him muahahaha. I usually eat at home, so eating out is more for special occasions. All thanks to cqveggiefinds (if u're looking to eat vegan in Singapore, go check out her insta and fb), I found out that I can get vegan donuts at Dunkin Donuts! I had a hard time Googling this info so I decided to just record the vegan flavours in my blog. Many thanks to cqveggiefinds for getting this info- I got them from her facebook page. Vegan Dunkin Donuts: Glazed Sugar raised Bavarian Strawberry filled Choc Pudding Cinnamon Roll You have to check out how they look in Dunkin Donuts' website, so tempting omg. I've put the link down below. You have to click on the 'shell donuts' tab as well to see some of the vegan flavours. It's quite amazing that the Bavarian and Choc Pudding flavours are vegan. Definitely wanna try those since I love cream-filled
