ReCap: 2014 Resolutions

1. Visit Brazil / Chiang Mai / Bali
✔ Brazil done with a side trip to Argentina. No Chiang Mai & Bali again oops. But visited Bintan and Batam vaguely, new places on the travel map.

2. Read books and write songs. (including 3 non-fiction books  and 1 about lighting)+ write songs. Total 20. (This is a good one to keep)
✗ 13 books, all fiction and no songs.

3. Exercise 80 times.


✗ 18 times including 1 rollerblade session, 1 cable ski session,  2 Ubin bike rides; excluding home exercise sessions, but that won't have added up to 80. Gym membership expired March.

? Not sure. Didn't manage to do the 2kg weekly but clearing out alot of catalogs.

5.  Sort out insurance plans
✔ Finally

6. Increase net worth by 30%.
✔ Despite earning and spending spend more and saving lesser - phew.

7. Sign up for a creative course - guitar, book binding, whatever.
✔ Learning Portuguese on Duolingo should count? Also completed Intro to Philosophy on Coursera and a GMM course (not quite creative).

8. Watch one inspirational talk per week on TED etc.

In 2014, I got the iPhone 5c which gave me access to Podcasts and I learnt to listen.
