A summary for the first half of 2013.. and of cos.. what to do moving forward?

It has been a long time since i pen my thots down..
of cos, the main excuse i wana use is that there is no proper pc for me to use, with the house pc keyboard spoilt and my functioning laptop in the office, and with the stifling environment there, how can i pen my thots down in the manner i wan?
but then again, i've been really lagging or the past half year, tons of thots in my head, and been ignoring them.. just doing the things that i oughta do, and continue to move forward, cos time wouldn't go backwards.

since the beginning of this year, had planned 2 trips, one to taiwan with my mum, and the other to HK with cl and alan.

Taiwan with my mum was meant to let her be happie, and enjoy herself, and i think basically that was achieve. it was a very very good trip, and i think my mum was definately happie. and the best best best part was, TV happen to be at taiwan then too, and i got such a wonderful chance to spend a day out with him, in such a comfortable setting too. Thank God for your arrangement.

HK with Cl was quite random, since last year, i always have this thot of going to HK alone, but cl told me to join them instead, so off i went with them. hmm.. how do i put it? it's just another trip, but i gotta a day off to walk around HK by myself, and i love the solitude and the fact that at that point of time, no one knows where i really am, and there is no need for me to be responsible or accountable towards anyone, and i totally absolutely love that freedom. i definetly hope that i can really get a chance to spend Xmas alone at HK at one point of my life. will i feel lonely then? i wonder..

next in march, it's my mum operation, and i became a maid for abt one month, and it is true, the busier one is, the more productive you'll be forced to become. had a good pdtion run then, and yet there is time to stay at home and look after my mum. thankfully, the operation is a good suceess, and my mum is no longer feeling pain anymore. thank you God.

subsequently, in april.. oh my god.. fell insanely mad over running man, and dedicated a good part of my day to serial watching all the eps.. even until today. good thing is that i am rather tired of it already, and has greatly cut down my hours spent on these eps. but it was a good stress reliver, and really really made me happie.

what happened in May? it's like so blur.. and sis bought an apartment that we can eventually move into in about 3 years time... my mum was so so so so happie then.. haha.. so i guess, it is likely spent on running man as well.. and in June, just last mth, and my bd month, running man, eating, going out, working, nothing significant happened. the promise to pen my thots on 15 jun didn't materialise.. and went for Mayday concert instead, which ended up rather disappointing thou.. hiaz... will i still visit them next time? I wonder.. and of yah, first time spending 300 on a fan meeting on a obsence relatively unknown animal call kwangsoo.. the v cute giraffe that brought me tons of laughter for the past few months.. amazing, but i guess, i'm trying to grab hold of my last bits of youth and idol chasing bah...

meanwhile, during the past few mths, i picked back bikram yoga, which i am absolutely enjoying, and still have about a year of mendership leaft, that i will continue to go for.. don't understand why my weight isn't dropping thou.. and for some unknown reason, my skin cleared out alot in the past 1-2 months.. so thankful for it, cos i can feel its whiteness and has become much more softer know. makeup skills improved, and in generally, the physical well being has improve. also, finance side is rather stable, and improving, and m working towards my goal of giving myself stability in terms of my financial being.

moving forward, there is only about 4-5 months left in this year..
what lies ahead?

physically
- breast reduction.
have went to see a polyclinic dr to get referral for othpeadic, and decided to go under private instead, so am going to see the specialist this week, and to determine that it is those humongus pair of melons that are causing my shoulder aches. and it is gradually causing me to have breathing and neck problems too.. somehow i suspect that it is because my fats around my back and ;shoulder are reducing due to the bikram yoga which ended up worsening this problem. n i swear, they are still growing bigger and bigger..
the breast will be reduced to a cup c by the end of this year, no matter how much it cost me.

- face/ skin
continue my routine of putting mask, at least prob 4-5 times per week
and i'm going to finish those sample product packs along the way.. helps to save $ from buying my usual products, and giving my skin a change in routine as well.
and i will continue to see julie, prob, once every 2-3 months to keep the skin healthy and feed it with more vitamins.
all in all, i am greatful for the change in my skin, and pls, let me continue with this routine..
i'll also continue to double cleanse the face, think they work great, and the skin in much less oily and dirty already.
will continue to put on make up and let myself feels good.

- hair
nothing much, pretty comfy with it and guess will continue to grow it till the end of the year..

- fat fat fat
gonna continue with my bikram yoga, let's keep it a min of 3 times per week ya..
no matter what the weighing machine says, i still believe that i have loss fats, and i just wana focus on my arms, my stomach and thunder thighs..
can i start doing crunches, just 50 per day? am i able to keep to that?

financially
- i know i need to grow my MT funds.. continue to be thrifty and to grow it.. i need the funds to buy myself a house when i reach 35.. will review it then..

attended a convocation and listened to a great speech ytd..
1- dividing my time into blks of hours instead of viewing it as a one lump call day.. do i want a blk of 8 hrs, 2 blks of 4 hrs or 8 blks of 1 hr? it changed my prespective and viewing at how to do things within deadline instead of just dragging my feet to let time pass, and to learn to make decision in a faster and more focused manner.

2- focusing on the car ahead of my car.. this has always been a matra that i live by..
i always believe in doing things that makes a difference 10 years later, and not now..
so moving forward
much as i m scare to start it, or failing and the time and efforts involve and am worrying that it will all be a major waste of time.. i really really wanna own something.. a business.. something that can pull my friends along the way.. something that i own, and have control over it.. i m really scared, but i wana try it.. but i am scare of losing the funds..

i wana do that blogshop thingy.. have been thinking thinking and thinking about it.. did some small micro mini negligible research on it.. but the way i see it, if the bigger brands can survive and is able to support renal and staff, what is a small co like ours, if we can produce similar products, be unable to make it if the cost is so much lower?
have the micro reseach and thinking, i guess, it is better to secure manufacturers instead first.
with that, i will have an idea of the cost, and how to work around the margin.

what i do know is that i wana produce clothes for the working ladies, cos working ladies like to dress up, and they like things that looks nice and unique.
i truely believe that mkting plans etc can be drawn up after that..


going to spend 2 hrs per day onto this blogshop thingy when applicable.
gonna find manufacturer
rental cost for shopfront/ warehouse
blogshop design
mkting plans
budgeting

going to spend 2 hrs per day on work as well
follow up calls
underwriting and admin
my current income is able to provide me with a decent lifestyle till the end of the year.. so i am gonna buck up and build up this blogshop biz..
