Smaller GOALS?!

I had a chat with a friend today. We talked about 2009, new year resolutions, new year goals, what are we going to / want to do for this year, etc.

He told me that his goals are getting smaller this year compared to previous years. He is a friend whom I trust always THINK BIG in most of his life. When he used 'Smaller Goals' to describe his 2009 plans, it has then make me feel that he seems to be losing confidence on what he could go for. Why have the goals been describe smaller? Or it is really small after all?

After knowing the said 'Smaller Goals'. I do not think its small..and decided to see them as more REALISTIC GOALS!

At times, many of us tend to forget the golden rule of goal setting which is...Set SMART goals...It means
S- specific
M- measurable
A- achievable
R- realistic
T- timely


My dear friend, if you are reading this (you know who you are), I hope this has helped you to see your goals in a positive perspective. They are not small, but the have become SMART actually.

All the best to you! May you have a fruitful 2009!

Small Win to Celebrate

Finn woke me up this morning instead of me doing so for him. He has been waking up feeling lousy and would whine non stop during school days..he would not stop until I started scolding him. Last night I prep him and put him to bed earlier than keith (rather than waiting for Keith to pack his bags). I managed to pat him and he slept at 10.15pm (not early but it seems enough). Right before he sleeps, I asked him to promise not to whine when he wakes up and he did well. He woke me up instead. He came to me and said, mommy….i want to wake up already….

Mini Lobsters I ate in Shanghai!

My job required me to travel very frequently to Shanghai last year. Somewhere during the 2nd half of the year, mini lobster has become our favorite. We will walk all the way to the stores and order few kilos of the fried mini lobsters each time. Recently, I received an email from a friend of mine reminding the danger of eating this mini creature! Please be alert of this food item... It may infect your lung. Do not eat these mini lobsters.These mini crustaceans are literally the garbage cleaners in the sewage treatment plants. The 'dirtier' the water, the fatter these mini lobsters become.Their lungs are full of worms and their flesh saturated with poisonous metals.Unscrupulous merchants somehow found a way to get these marketed to eateries. Do not order this dish. Pass this to those friends who may want to try these mini 'lobsters'. Even with this email, i think it is still worth it to try coz it is niceeee!!! And you do not get to eat them all year long! A kilo of thi
