2023 resolution?

Tuesday, January 17, 2023 EJ 0 Comments

Hello everyone,

And Assalamualaikum. Happy new year !!!

Idk why but I got super excited for 2023. I feel like there is so much thing will happen this year. 2023 will definitely be my year.  

The reason I said that cause I know I have clear goals of what I wanted to achieve this year. And since my mental health is getting better, I finally ready to take charge of my life and the future. I have some 2023 resolution that I thought will be great to achieve. Well actually last year in september I went back home to visit my family. And tbh i feel alot better now. I realized that i just super homesick hence why I was struggling to focus on my future. Now I kinda cure those homesick. It was easier to focus on what really matters now. My heart feel lighter now. I feel like I did what I can to spend time with them. 


When I was in Malaysia, I also realized that I dont want to live in Malaysia. At least not now. Malaysia is different now. Quite costly too. So much traffic. Everytime I went to KL to shopping I just feel suffocated. It's weird cause i used to love big city and shopping and KL is great cause you got so much options. I guess living in little capital like Wellington taught me to live in simplicity. Actually less option is less headache. Time is precious i can used it for much important matters. And also who will ever thought i will miss wellington so much. I miss the routine i have in Wellington. I was quite active and into fitness before i went back to Malaysia. I played badminton weekly, went to dance class, dance fitness, Gym. Suddenly I had to stop everything. So I feel weird. In Malaysia it was bit hard to maintain those lifestyle. And was it weird if i miss walking? In wellington I walked about 7,000-10,000 steps daily. And it's so normal here to walk to everywhere. I do think I am much healthier living in nz.  


It is summer now means more sunshine. More things we can do outdoor. But yeah ever since I came back have to cut down my routine with fitness and socializing. Gotta save some money. I cut my hours in the museum. So i dont really have extra savings. Was hard everytime i build my saving, I have to use it for many other important things like residency visa and flight ticket. Oh btw good things happen in 2022. I got my residency visa. Wuhuuu. So means more years in Nz. Tbh I will be happy if my sister wanted to come to live with me here. I have many friends but still who can replace our family right. Oh and actually in 2022, I also finally wrapped my exhibition that I've been working on for few months. It was super intense but very good experience. And I do learn alot as lead curator. Actually because of that exhibition, I couldn't easily go home to visit family after the border open. It was great to wrapped it nicely and then went back home to just rest and get away. 


Enough bout 2022,

Let me talk bout some of my resolution in 2023. 

  1. Get new job 
  2. Work on my childhood trauma : see therapist
  3. Get Nz driving license
  4. Learn new recipe to potluck
  5. Learn to confront conflicts 
  6. Wear more colours 
  7. Meet new people 
  8. Spare time for volunteering
  9. Start investing
  10. Learn to swim
  11. Save for auckland
Yeah that is some of the things I planned to achieve. It's not like super big things. Hahaha. But it was fun to try new things. And I need to learn swimming. This year I will make sure to properly get swimming lesson. In 2022, I tried so many things. So i now know what kind of sports/activities i wanted to keep to be part of the routine. Will keep badminton and dance for now. Cause i really enjoy both. But the most crucial things is to get new job. I planned to move to Auckland sometime next year or the end of the year. So i will also have to save for the moving. I never thought of stability before. But now when i reach 27 every steps is crucial to me. So i don't want to waste time and wanting to focus on my career progression. I won't be afraid to work in different industry. I will trust god's plan and put myself out there. I also want to improve my creative projects. Maybe doing podcast for Malaysian community living abroad. I thought it would be a great idea. 

Another thing that I plan to achieve this year is to spare my time for volunteering. I have lots of time. I just lack of discipline and i thought using time productively is crucial as your grow older. I think this year i will learn to be productive. If one day i can only do 2 things, I will try do more and work around routine and also be flexible. I always want to volunteering and I know where to go. Over the past few years in Wellington I have good relationship with Malaysian ambassador. So i know many Malaysian people in community who actively contributing to the community. I think it's important for me to share this experience with the junior. I also will be more active with community. I will register with community Malaysia in Wellington. I will be down to get more involved in the society. Well i guess that's it. And yeahh to leave the cleaning industry. I've seen enough so inshaallah if things runs as planned. I will be able to change job soon. Please pray for my journey. Im feeling generally positive and planning to hold into that moving forward. 

Goodbye and have a great day 🥰
