Before the New Year started, you might have already set yourself a new goal for the year or perhaps people asked you what is your goal. Having a goal in life is a great way to make it happen and fulfil them. Setting yourself realistic goals and working towards achieving them will make this year a great one.

This year I set myself several goals to achieve. I am very passionate about cooking Asian food like Tom Yum soup, Laska, Mee Siam, Singapore chicken curry etc. Besides cooking, I would also like to improve my food photography. Even if the food looks and tastes great, if the photo does not do it justice, it won’t look good on my blog. So I set myself a goal to learn and improve my food photography. I bought a book called “Focus on Food Photography for Bloggers” by Matt Armendaruz. So wish me luck and by end of the year, I hope you will notice an improvement on my photography.

Besides improving food photography on my blog, I also want to do set myself a new project for my kitchen! Lloyds Bank have created a Facebook Make It Happen app for the public. Simply follow the steps to create your personal goals for 2014 and they will give you a toolbox of helpful tips and ideas to inspire you to achieve it. The app gives people the chance to share their goal ideas within three categories – home, life and money.
