An Update On My 50 Things To Do in 2012

I've been having this throbbing headache since yesterday. Funny though, with the presence of food, the pain disappears, but with the absence of food, it gets worse. >(

Tell me about it being psychological. 

Anyway, you ready? Here we go!

1. Travel to 2 countries/ places I have not been to before.
 a. Club Med Cherating
 b. Banjaran Ipoh

2. Submit applications for Masters.
Status: I've got up till the 3rd of September to decide.

3. Invest in hair care treatment.
Status: I've been treating my hair well.

4. Bake a cake.

5. Wear a dress once a week (unless special circumstances).
Status: Come to think of it, I do wear dresses once a week, on average.

6. Wear heels once a week (unless special circumstances).
Status: FAIL

7. Red highlights for the hair before mid year.
Status: I colored it red again sometime in May, but it wasn't quite highlights, but the photo turned out good though, most "Likes" I ever had on Fb, ever!

30 over "Likes"! (Y)

8. Do charity work / volunteer.
Status: Participated in the annual World Vision 30 Hour Famine. Man, this is something I probably will never want to do again. Starving for 30 hours just ain't my thing. But the lessons learnt, priceless. I'll be doing my part come this 14th, will you too? *click*

9. Go for a full medical check up.
Status: I've had my blood tested, pee too. (-__-) Doctor says I am perfectly healthy! =) I also went for my specialist consultation with the orthopedic surgeon, costs a bomb for a 10 minute consultation! He said my spine is a little twisted and a little bent, but says that it is 'normal' and that I'm good to carry on doing whatever activities I so wish! :D

10. Keep my hair super long.
Status: Trimming your hair does NOT make it grow longer faster. I keep reminding myself.

11. Get a new pair of glasses.
Status: Checked, except I've gone back to wearing my old pair.. LOL. Sometimes, I myself don't understand myself, this is one of them.

12. Re-start up HELP Sailing Club.
Status: This is not happening.

13. Use a satin pillow case.
Status: Using them pretty lilac colored cotton pillow cases.

14. Buy a satin pillow case.
Status: Didn't end up getting satin pillow cases after all, too hard to find. Instead settled for some high quality cotton ones. Lilac purple, pretty!

15. Do something nice for one person (or more) each day.
Status: I am thinking this is going quite well, I give myself off days from time to time. Some days, no one deserves to be treated nice.

16. Smile and say Good Morning to the first person I see every day.
Status: For the most of it, the first person I see everyday is my kakak.

17. Go climb Mount KK.
Status: Conquered yo!

I think the peak behind is the same peak you see on the one ringgit note. 
I think. :D

18. Get a second opinion on the wisdom tooth.

19. Drink more water.
Status: Have got to drink way more water.

20. Play volleyball.
Status: This is probably not happening either.

21. Not use work as an excuse to not sail.
Status: I actually have not done a single regatta so far, and it looks likely that it'll end this way too. Sailing over the weekends have been on and off too. But there were a couple of memorable ones..

The Birthday Champagne Sailing Day

And more recently, sailing with the colleagues. Like finally!
Ivy's not the only colleague I have but at least I don't need to ask her for permission to "feature" her here.

22. Go fly kite.

23. Go for a picnic.
Status: Checked.

24. Do something crazily spontaneous, like an impromptu trip somewhere.
Status: Hot air balloon trip to Putrajaya.

25. Try something completely new, can be anything from food to a new experience.
Status: There was trapezing, and then there was zorbing too.

26. Make 10 new friends and remember them.
Status: I am at 9 now! Not bad at all..

27. Eat more fruits.
Status: I eat more fruits now, particularly those that allows me to dip the assam boi powder, like pineapple cubes. Teehee!

28. Finish watching everything in my external hard disk.
Status: Don't think I'll ever finish everything. 

29. Read up on NPD.
Status: I have not even started.

30. Either read and return The Lucifer Effect, or return it without reading anyway.
Status: I've started reading it, and progress was good at one point, got to page 175, then I conveniently hid it somewhere and haven't touched it since.

31. Only make promises that I can keep.
Status: To keep this true, I have been very careful in what I tell people. I always ALWAYS add the clause, "But I am not promising you anything", so much so I no longer know if it's just me shying away from being accountable for things.

32. Quit impulse buying.
Status: I bought some stuff from an online blogshop - Bon Voyage, but it was just that once. The danger of buying things online is that you'll never know if it'll really fit, but overall I am a happy customer. =)

33. Do the sailor nails. Maybe for my birthday maybe hmmm.
Status: Obviously, my birthday came, and gone and no, I didn't do the sailor nails.

34. Avoid showering late at night if I can help it.
Status: This one I have been bad at as of late.
