My 27 Before 27 (Updated)

So after my 26 before 26 list that helped to push me to achieve my goals (no matter how little), I am going to make this a thing in my life and viola, here’s my 27 things to do before I turn 27!

  1. Become debt free
    • I tried my best to pay a much larger sum monthly sum this year, but it still did not managed to completely eliminate my student loan! I planned to repay the remainder with a lump sum at the end of the year but due to my decision to do a yoga teacher training in November, I think that will have to wait. 
  2. Find a charity or cause that I believe in and donate money regularly
  3. Invest in REITS and expand my investment portfolio
  4. Travel to 2 new places
    • (I managed to visit Jakarta, Surabaya, Bali and Ho Chi Minh this year! Such amazing places!)
  5. Start doing more classes on Skillshare
    • I’m proud of myself and of the classes I’ve created this year. If you’re interested, please check out my makeup classes here! 
  6. Wake up and leave my bed by 0800 daily
    • I succeeded on some days but there are some days where I’m just crawling out half past nine…
  7. Learn conversational French (yes, it’s back on this list again as I did not manage to get to this goal last year)
    • I tried to watch some videos (French with Alexa is really good!) but I didn’t manage to incorporate all the lessons seamlessly. It’ll be on the list next year too.
  8. Save up and get a new bed frame
    • Decided not to do so as I grew to appreciate my bed frame!
  9. Learn a new skill (I have so many things that I want to learn! I might do a post on that soon)
    • This year, I went for a pottery, Vietnamese cooking class and a Dim Sum making class. While I may not be an expect in either, I’d consider it as learning something! 
  10. Put plans in motion to start a business
    • I started a little Etsy shop called Typornagraphy this year. It features minimalist typography posters with inspirational quotes I got from books I’ve read or through videos I’ve watched. Please check it out if you’re interested! 
  11. Constantly back up my phone and laptop to my hard drive
  12. Master the tree pose in yoga (as I lose my balance so easily)
  13. Get PADI certified
    • I decided to get Yoga Alliance certified this year instead, so maybe next year! 
  14. Make healthier food choices when cooking and eating out
    • I have been making more plant based dishes after my trip to Bali and have been loving it so far. I also have been incorporating more vegetables into my dishes!
  15. Read on public transport instead of using my phone (I finally got myself a Kindle to help with this goal and the one after)
  16. Read at least 12 books (books I’ve read so far:)
    1. The Restful Mind (Gyalwa Dokhampa)
    2. The Urban Monk (Pedram Shojal)
    3. Love For Imperfect Things (Haemin Sunim)
    4. You Are A Badass at Making Money (Jen Sincero)
    5. Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life (Gisele Bündchen‎)
    6. The Compound Effect (Darren Hardy)
    7. The 5 Am Club (Robin Sharma)
    8. Perfectly Imperfect (Baron Baptiste)
    9. Do Your Om Thing (Rebecca Pacheco)
    10. Good Vibes, Good Life (Vex King)
    11. The Art Of Living (Thich Nhat Hanh)
  17. Master new dishes for meal prep
    • I’ve learnt how to make tempeh curries and vegan stir fry dishes recently! 
  18. Journal at least once a week to reflect on the week as well as the goal for the next
  19. Switch to more eco friendly products
    • I have my reusable bag with me for grocery shopping, my portable bubble tea cover and my silicon cup for coffee!
    • There’s more to be done but this is a good start. 
  20. Drink more milk to strengthen the bones
    • I have been drinking a green smoothie daily since April and have been incorporating plant based milk! 
  21. Actually use an expense tracker and stop relying on my mental abilities to track my expenses
    • This has been pretty successful as I managed to find a fuss free expense tracking app! It’s called Quick Money Recorder. It makes recording down expenses for the various categories really easy and I highly recommend it. 
  22. Be more friendly and sociable (like I usually am on holiday! I find that I tend to be more introverted and less likely to strike up a conversation when I am back home)
  23. Clear out the room and embrace minimalistic design
    • There’s definitely more to declutter but I’m quite pleased with how much I’ve cleared so far! 
  24. Eating mindfully with no phone or book
    • I did try to do this as much as I can but I think it can be improved.
  25. Project 10 everything! (You can read more about that here!)
    • I’m quite proud of how much I’ve decluttered! While I did keep 10 things for most categories, I feel that I could eliminate more. Regardless, I’m quite proud with my progress so far. 
  26. Organise the kitchen and pantry
    • I reorganised my coffee, smoothie and spices area. I think that counts! 
  27. Try surfing
    • Went for a surf and yoga retreat in Bali! It was a wonderful experience. 

My 28 before 28 list is up too, if you’re interested! 
What are some of your goals for the upcoming year? 
Till then,

The weather hasn’t been great for some running lately but the @sudio Elva earphones have been great on the run or when chilling at home 🤓

The neck band feels nice and lightweight (doesn’t really bother me when working out). I’m not too sure how I feel about the noise cancelling function just yet, will update!
