Goodbye 2004.. Welcome 2005

Time really passed like rocket! Before we realise, another new year pushing its way through again. I have not been doing a proper new year resolution since couple of years back. This year is special, thanks to Hsiu Chin who deliberately made everyone to write down our 2005 resolution in details, yes very detailed indeed. And it's good cos by setting such requirement, it gives us a quiet moment to really sit down, ponder and pray over what we really want to do in 2005 instead of just getting on with life without proper goals. Tada!! Here's my goals for 2005 ... AREA NO.1 Personal & Close walk with God GOAL * Spend quality quiet time with God * Read the Bible * Worship God with songs PLANS * Afternoon during Jamie’s nap * Tues & Thurs before bedtime (45mins) * Mon afternoon before Jamie’s nap AREA NO.2 Building on stronger marital relationship with Chunquan GOAL Maintain daily communication & at least once a month outing without Jamie PLANS Phone calls, emails, SMS, chats during dinner or bedtime.
