Resolutions for 2007

New Year resolutions seem to be a fad around December to January or February. And like any season, it comes and goes and no one really thinks much of it after, until the next time it's in season again. Don't believe me? How many of you can remember (without checking) the resolutions you made when kicking off 2006?

I'm starting my resolutions a little earlier this time. Actually this would be the first time I'm actually setting resolutions. And as recommended by all wise people, goals & targets should be written down. I choose to pen mine down here so that you guys can poke fun at me.

I just collected my medical report after a series of tests at Damansara Specialist Hospital. No, I didn't contract STD or some form of terminal illness... you needn't worry. Call it an annual 'employee benefit' working where I work.

From my meeting with one Dr Azmi Abdul Rashid, Consultant Neurologist at DSH, I'm inclined to have the following medical resolutions for 2007.

• Gain weight - Yea, I'm underweight. On seeing me without my shirt on, the doc instantly commented and insisted on measuring my waist size. That obvious apparently. 23 inches, shiiiiiettt!. 172cm & 54.5kgs. Target for 2007 - 58-62kgs! Hopefully can achieve that without ruining my perfectly good cholestrol levels.
• Spectacles - It seems my eyesight has deteriorated further. I'm short-sighted but I gave up wearing specs when I bought my Oakley sunnies. It was just too expensive to get ice blue Oakley power lenses, and too troublesome to swap between the two. Target to get a new pair of specs before 2007 Chinese New Year. And of course, must pakai la!
• Hepatitis B vaccination - plain and simply, it's necessary, but I don't have it yet. On asking, Hepatitis B is contracted through injections or sexual intercourse. My colleagues are harping at me - "no sex till you get your vaccination done". That shouldn't be too hard, I guess. Haha!

The weight gain target might take as much as the entire year to achieve. Getting spectacles should't be much problem. Vaccination needs to be done over a course of 3 months so I guess I should start now just in case I get 'lucky'.

Other resolutions will come in December.
