35 before 35 [Updated 30 Jan 2014]

2013 is coming to an end....
2014 is coming with a bang....

In 3 years time [2016], I am going to turn 35... Oh gosh... Mid thirties...

So i decided to pen down the things I want to achieve before I turn 35...
I have categorised the things I want to do by different categories and here they are, in no particular order...

I will update the status of my 35 before 35 lists regularly... They will be in smaller, blue, italic font =)

AS A FAMILY
1. Teach the bunnies how to swim
We had been bringing the bunnies to the pool more regularly in Jan 2014. We even approached the swimming coach in our condo to ask for the timing of the swimming lessons as well as the fees. However, big bunny don't really seem interested to go for regularly session. Hmmm, maybe that can wait half a year later when he turn 5.

2. Go for a staycation in Singapore with hubby and the bunnies only

3. Go camping with the bunnies [in-door with pitched tent is considered as well]

4. Get the bunnies to co-sleep with each other in their own room  For a start, Dear and I had officially moved back to our comfy king sized bed. The bunnies have been sleeping by themselves on the mattress for more than a week now. No complains by the bunnies and no mid night drama too. I had also cleared up the bed in the bunnies' room. In the afternoon, the bunnies love to spend time there either reading, playing or watching their ipad. Hopefully that can entice them to sleep in their own room in near future.

5. Redesign the bunnies’ room to include sleeping area, study corner and play area
I had cleared up the bunnies' room for the upcoming CNY. Study corner and play area identified for the time being. Sleeping area poses a problem though as there is only one bed currently in the room. Still thinking on how to design the room to accommodate 2 beds, a study corner for 2 and a common play area.

6. Attend a musical play and/or drama with the bunnies
ArtFiest is coming... March holiday has Disney on Ice... Not sure which one to go for at the moment. Timing is an issue... So is price... But most importantly, I wanna to bring the bunnies to something that they really enjoyed. Shall give it more thoughts on this.

7. Cook at least once a week and engage the help of my big bunny
I had researched online for lots of kids friendly recipes, but I just cannot find the time to cook. Shall try harder in February.

8. Visit the libraries at least twice a month to maintain the good habit of reading
I had been visiting the library by myself instead, borrowing books on behalf of the bunnies. I had also cleared up the bed in the bunnies' room. In the afternoon, the bunnies love to spend time there either reading, playing or watching their ipad. Hopefully that can entice them to sleep in their own room in the near future.

9. Go for a picnic either at the park or by the sea-side

10. Visit all of Singapore’s places of interests
Talking about places of interests, the bunnies seem to take a liking to the zoo... yes, only zoo... Nonetheless, I shall continue to keep a look out of offers and to work on visiting other places of interests.

11. Upgrade our Christmas tree from 2D to 3D

12. Work on at least two art and craft items with the bunnies within a month
Jan 2014 : Foam aeroplanes painting + CNY dragon making
 
13. Go for a cycling trip

14. Learn a new music instrument
Has initial plans to let the big bunny take up piano lesson. At the advice of a friend however, after observing how active the big bunny is, we decided to stall the music lesson for a while.

15. Go for art lessons, applicable both to myself and the bunnies

ONLY THE 2 OF US

16. Attend a musical concert or Broadway performance

17. Go for a date with the hubby only at least once a month
Jan 2014 : Took a half day leave and went on a shopping spree for the upcoming CNY, followed by massage and a nice dinner to end the day
Feb 2014 : Dates to take leave already shortlisted... Still deciding on what to do though... Still... happy to know that we are back to couple dates in the brand new year...

18. Go for a short getaway with hubby, without the bunnies at least once a year

19. To buy a 2nd property under my [and the hubby] names

PERSONAL OBJECTIVES

20. Have a once-a-month detox program
A bit disappointed that this didn't materialise in Jan 2014. Shall work harder to keep a routine to get detox on a monthly basis.

21. Always take the staircases as form of exercise when I am without the kids
I am happy that I had been regularly taking the steps.... When going to work, from unit at 3rd lvl to ground lvl to bus stop, to office building, from ground lvl to 7th lvl... When going back, from office at 7th lvl to grd lvl to bus stop... Shall keep walking...

22. Have a once-a-month weekly salad program
Same with the detox program, this didn't materialise in Jan 2014. Shall work harder to keep a routine to eat healthier on a monthly basis.

23. Pick up a form of exercise [step, line dancing, kick boxing, yoga or Pilates]
Back had been hurting since beginning of year. Visited the chinese doc and he said my spine is abit titled. He adjusted it back for me through massaging. Pain is gone for a couple of months and now it is back again. Visited the western doc and she said most prob either muscle around spine area not able to relaxed or the after effect of epidural and not a problem with spine. Had been applying muscle relaxation gel since and pain is more or less reduced. Hopefully the gel works. But for now, not sure if I can work on any form of exercise. Shall monitor the back pain condition 1st.

24. Update my blogs regularly [at least 2 posts per week]
3 claps for myself. I had been updating my blogs very regularly since Nov 2013. Almost all the events attended and activities done had been captured in my blog. Happy!!! Shall keep up the good work.

25. Take more pictures and update our favorite weekly photos in my blog
3 claps for myself again. I had been taking photos of the bunnies as often as I can. I am also hard at work to upload my favorite photos on to the blog. My next goal is to take more couple photos with dear.  

26. Go for regular manicure and pedicure session
Initially I wanted to go for a gel mani and pedi session for the upcoming CNY, but gosh, it is too expensive. In the end, I bought nail polish homeand decide to do it myself. Hopefully I can catch some "ME" time to complete the mission.

27. Change my image, probably curl my hairs or grow my bangs
