New year resolutions.

Well some are meant to be broken though. Hahaha.

I have made the decision to make 2007 as my off year for running. I was tempted to make a comeback come end of the year. But based on my recovery, my decision is to spend the year strengthening/rebuilding my ankle. I shall not put too much stress on it to come back racing, there are many good years ahead. I might recover to jog in another 3-6 months but that's it. I shall keep it as jog/easy run for the year. No races for me this year. Well unless my recovery is that superb that i can convince myself that i would not hurt my ankle again. I need to stay "safe" for at least a year, coz injuring the same joint within a year, would usually means that the ankle condition will go down quite badly according to a study.

Also must go for some sorta of upgrading courses. Well that's when i confirm staying @ my current position for the year. Only that i can possibly squeeze some free time to go.

Save as much as possible. Hahaha. My savings, thanks to the bonus, is almost the same as last year. Which means without the bonus, i would have gone into the reds for the year. So my target this year is well hopefully do some savings. I have introduced a new way - the opening of another account, let's call this B. How i going to make this work. My salary will go into the primary account A, and all expenses will be out from A, watever balance left from A come payday, i will dump into B and become "freeze" in B, only to be used during emergency, or A not enough, or come Nov when my maid go back, going to get a new maid. I hope that this will help curb my over-spending habit and also better monitor the monthly usage of A, and at the same time, build up my savings.

I was having this casual chat with my colleague. He was saying that if he chaired the medical board, he would rarely medically upgrade someone with a history of tornt ligament to combat duties. Btw, he is really chairing some boards. (SGRunners will know who's he, Hahahaha). Well my board is still 10 months away, i dun want to think so much into it yet, and focus on my recovery. But his words also triggered me of the need of save even more now. I am into aggressive saving liao, who knows what would happen, though i got this assurance from my boss to 2010, but i know if i cannot medically upgrade myself, i might not be able to last to 2010.

So this year, i would just carry to do my best in my job and my recovery, the best that i can do now.

Relationship? Hahahaha. Aggressive saving and dating doesn't quite match, isn't it? But it really got to come, it would come. If it isn't, then it wasn't to be.
