15 new New Year's resolutions for 2015 that S'poreans can actually keep

Why not try something that you won't fail at this coming new year for a change?

Hardly anyone actually adheres to their New Year resolutions nowadays. Perhaps it's because some of them are really hard to live up to, for example, losing weight or becoming a better person, in general.

So, here’s a list of some resolutions that are actually pretty doable, as long as you keep breathing and don't go into a coma. Or die.

In this coming year, I resolve to:

1. Come up with better passwords for my future online accounts... and actually remember them

Goodbye qwerty, P@ssw0rd and name123

 

2. Read something that is not digital before bed every night

Because when a book or a magazine hits my head, it’s not as painful.

 

3. Wake up in less than 15 rings of the alarm in the morning

Or actually waking up. Eventually.

 

4. Always ensure there’s toilet paper

You can go paperless everywhere else, but not here

 

5. To take better selfies

At least, take better selfies in public or when others are watching.

 

6. Rely less on Navigation Maps

If you relied on yourself, you might be more confident. And have your eyes on the bloody road more often.

 

7. Drive faster than 80kmh in the outermost lanes

The car won't hurt if you stepped on the pedal harder, you know?

 

8. Stop sending game requests to friends I don’t know on Facebook

If it was such a fun game, all of us would be playing Pirate Kings without an invite in the first place, right?

 

9. Actually read through a full online article before sharing it

Trust me, not everyone does this

 

10. Stop thinking I'm damn hot

Because most people are not. And I am most people. Just like you.

 

11. Hire a professional walker to guide me around so I can walk and text at the same time without looking up

If this sounds ridiculous, just look arou- ouch.

 

12. Act normal outside, bitch silently inside when kids are screaming or crying in public

Unless the parents don’t look like they’re doing anything to help.

 

13. Not to join a queue just because there’s one

When you see one though, always ask the most important questions: “Doesn’t anyone have to work?”

Or “Why do they have so much time?”

Or “Should we come back when the queue is longer so I can brag about it?”

 

14. Be nicer online

There’s actually a term for being a nice guy online. It’s called being a Broll (www.brollzone.com). Don’t say Broll-jio.

 

15. Stay Alive

Period.
