Mid-Year Review of my Resolutions

Time for a Mid-Year Review of the 'resolutions' I set for 2009. See my response in red below.

2009 New Year Resolutions

1) I will read the newspapers daily.
Not entirely successful, but my homepage (both home and work computers) is channelnewsasia.com and it sure helps to update me on the current news.

2) I will read the stash of recently-purchased-but-unread books that have been piling up.
Dismal progress. Some books I have read to greater detail, but not complete from start to end, especially the non-fiction books. Not doing too well with fiction. And to complicate matters, I have more books to add to this list - Love in the time of Cholera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Freedom from Fear Aung San Suu Kyi.

3) I will only be on the lookout for Mr Right, and strike Mr Right-Now off the radar.
Hahaha no comments - que sera sera.

4) I will keep a tight reign on my finances, giving due diligence to my inflow vs. outflow, and start engaging my broker.
For once I actually did engage my broker! But I attempted to buy gold a little too late. Lucky! But otherwise, I feel like I spend less now!? I definitely shop a lot less.

5) I will lead a more healthy lifestyle - club/drink/smoke a lot less, exercise regularly and eat more greens.
This has what inspired me to do this review. I have been clubbing and drinking way too much. This is unhealthy! I run maybe once a week? And it's not even on a regular basis. I feel I need to put an end to this. My tongue will touch alcohol no more than twice a week and I am signing up for pilates very soon. Let's do some sports together friends.

6) I will stop cabbing to work.
ABSOLUTELY NO PROGRESS.

On another note, I would like to keep to a more well-planned apointment schedule, planning meetings ahead of time and sticking to them.
