I use to make resolutions at the start of the year but about 2 years ago, I made a conscious decision to not make any because like homework, once I know I have to do it, I'll more than likely avoid doing it. I'm a rebel at heart. :)

Funnily enough, it has been working out for me so far and I realised that by not making resolutions and putting unnecessary expectations/pressure on myself to fulfill them, I actually enjoy life way much more. Life is so much more enjoyable when things are simpler. 2012 will be the same and I'll be making no resolutions and just going through the year on an ad-hoc basis.

So,  it's been 11 days into the year and here are some of my thoughts.

Firstly, summer has been a lil colder than usual. Not that I'm complaining much about the cold but it is usually preceded by a bout of rain and it some extreme cases, hail.
Kinda sucks because the rain has an annoying tendency to show itself on weekends and destroy all weekend outdoor plans.

On days when the weather is beautiful, I've been trying to ease myself into an active lifestyle slowly after abandoning it for 2 months. One of the few things I'm trying to do is get myself running/jogging again and it's great that I now live in a new place where there are plenty of new routes I can take. I find myself just trying a different route every time just to explore the area and stumble into interesting things: I.e. This temple with a giant golden statue in the middle of no where.
