So... I wrote a mid-year resolution this July and have been inching closer and closer towards my goals for the past few months. Sure, there were derails and bumps along the way but I feel that my life is awesome in general. Here are my updates at the end of July and August, just to keep everything neat and filed up in this space.
I didn't really want to do this this month because I know that everything's going fine. I think I'm doing this resolution thing a lot more for myself than others and I know deep down that I'm not going offtrack.. So I didn't see the point in updating the rest of the world on my progress..
But I got a couple of facebook messsages asking me how I was doing and why didn't I post an update for Oct(it was v v sweet of you guys!) and I thought, hell, I should take responsibility and stick to what I've started!
So here goes:
1) be able to do at least 1 pull up
I'm now able to do 2 half pull ups. Like I can start from ground (arms not completely straight) and pull myself up. I can also start hanging and pull myself to 90 degree. I can't seem to join the 2 together though. But I'm v v v sure that I'll be able to strike this off my list by the end of this year. ^^
Here's a video of me doing the half pull ups and feeling v happy after ^^
6) read at least a book every month
Read the book about procrastination to procrastinate even more lol.
I also half read "the happiness trap", a recommendation by Wai Han back in Aus and the author must be me in my previous life. Wow we share so many common philosophies. I really wanna meet him in real life and have conversations about life over strawberries and whisky.

My videos and photos are always like dark cause I train 3 times a week after coaching an exercise group at night! I love it, but not good for photo quality haha.
this is me after faking a muscle up on the bar last night.
Yeah I'm growing a lot of muscles though. It scares me. Maybe I'll become the she-hulk one day. and the callus also omg the callus.... Who would wanna hold my rough and manly hands :'(
2) graduate with first class honors
This is the point that's been bugging me the most for the past month. Like.. I haven't started on my model and Idk how to start. I really really really need someone who has an economical brain to bounce ideas off with.

My thesis will be on modelling MLM (as opposed to direct sales) mathematically. If you are interested to have a conversation, feel free to email me at Chmel.Oh@gmail.com
ALL HELP WILL BE GR8LY APPRECIATED! \(~_~}/
3) have a (non birthday related) family outing with everyone present
Very excited to clear this by this year cause Edan is finally back !!! Yay I love it- he came back a lot more mature and tan and handsome whoopwhoop. I'm trying to arrange for a dinner next Sunday cause WJ is not in SG now. Will keep y'all updated!
4) clear all my debt
Aiya this one can strike off alr. I'm really progressing v v v well in this aspect. Money has never been a limiting factor in my life thanks to my providing family.

Honestly I don't spend a lot either. I do splurge occasionally, but if I don't, $500 is more than enough to last me for a month. I use the rest of my income to pay off my debt ^^
5) be a good friend to people who matter
I think I've been doing that....
But there are like many people I don't meet whom I care a lot about.
Number one on the list is LECK ZHI SING I really wanna just meet her and talk cock over beer, go for the jog at west coast that we've planned since 3 years ago but never happened after I came back from Aus. I don't even dare to text her cause I know I don't have one whole day to spend with her (and we had a conversation on that before). Seems damn paggro to like blog about it instead of telling her how I feel but ya she's like the numbaonegal on my list.
Number 2 is Larissa and Roger :( We are always gonna be close whether we meet once a year or once a week but I do miss all of y'all :( :(. Can't wait for November to end so we can just hang out and dom and jump into random swimming pools tgth.
The rest those who matter have been talking to me pretty regularly over wapp and whatnots. so only 2 shoutouts! I love the rest of you anyway!!!
I also came up with this #10ctobermeetups thing on IG to meet 10 people whom I haven't seen in a long time. So far so good! Hoping to catch up w more people over the month!

6) read at least a book every month

Like I used to think all these thoughts (Chmel theory) are exclusive to me and my cute little brain but wow knowing that someone thinks so similarly and can express it in such a succinct manner is pretty mind blowing!
Had to return the book cause it's due but I'll borrow it again and read it as my book of Oct ^^
7) 3 k solo MMR? (one can hope)
Duuddeeeeeeee. I wanna like eliminate this off my list cause it's been sucking the life out of me. My MMR is at 2.7 now and I'm stuck in the pinoy trap. They are hands down the most annoying people to play dota with. Fucking dunno how to switch off open mics and like so rude all the time I hate playing dota alone now cause of my bracket :(
This was when I randomed an IO cause I forgot I accepted the dota game.
hahahha dude it's damn tough the pudge keeps hooking me when I wanna relocate. He's all "WHEN I SEE IO I SEE $$$$" bming me on the all chat :(
So far, Enigmel and BBmel have been my fav but like I can't play w the pros cause I honestly have no clue what's going on. In fact playing in the 4k bracket is damn boring for me cause I keep dying. izdamntough.... :'(
Aiya I have been playing too much instead of working on things that matter :( :(
8) get sum abz
Here's sum
hehe no filter no edits- this was a failed timer shot when I was trying to take a selfie for my previous post . Also the only abz photo I have of myself. Actually these babies look better in pictures la. Real life just a blob of fats. ^^"
And it's crazily difficult to take selfies wow how do people do that. I spent like 30 min trying to adjust the camera and finding a right angle and focus before finally giving up and just like taking the standard selfie w my actchiosmile ^^
9) learn a new skill (drumming or German)
No time la brother. But I've been playing duolingo.
Wa damn tough all the den das die dem der sibei confusing.
Really wanna start dancing AND I WILL go for classes by the end of this year. Promise!

10) find true love
So.. I'm inviting Chmel from 2009 to give you a brief idea of how I feel.
Didn't hit the nail on the head, but the idea is there.
My love shall be reserved to any one who doesn't take it for granted. I love very freely and generously. (in bgr, friendship and life in general) but if you abuse it/me then it's your loss.
Reading back on my old blogposts, I realise I keep getting myself into the same cycle.
Probably should journal my emotions for future references.
okay super duper warm in SG and like this is such a candid and poorly written post. Gotta rush off for tuition now. Probably edit it later when I've got time. Thanks for reading! x
