Hey guys, ignore the previous post. It was pretty crude and bland, and not something i would want to start off a new year with.
So, here's my PROPER new year post, and though it'll be full of hopes of a brighter future, a smooth sailing year and lifechanging experiences, I'll also try to remember what the last year has brought me, and how i may carry on it's lessons into next year, and the year after, and so on.
After all, to learn from the past while looking at the future, that is the quality of the double-headed eagle, who sits on it's magestic perch as an enduring symbol of the Rafflesian Spirit, which I hope to be able to capture some part of, some day.
And now, with a super cheesy introduction, it's time for me to start the post proper.
2008, definitely was one of the most impactful years in my memory. I really hope that I'll be able to remember this year as one of the special ones in my heart, even though i have this STM problem which is super-irritating. Anyway, that's why this blog is here, to keep memories.
I guess the main thing that made this year so memorable was in terms of social life. Seriously this is the year my social life took off, and i went out for stuff other than lan parties where all i did was scream excitedly at people whenever i died. (Which was all the time, but that's beside the point. )
First of, i met Dexter, who is really really quiteee different from me heh, but hey somehow i managed to click with him after a while. He's become quite a good friend to me, so thanks for making my year fun kay. (: I'm glad that you trust me enough to confide too, sort of anyway.
Next i met Siti, under.. well weird conditions, heh. I'm glad that we're friends now, and yay now i have a Sec 4 RG contact! Yeap, you're the only sec 4 rg girl i know, but that's still infinite times better than none, and that totally made my day. Or rather, year.
Erm. YiJung! Yeap, we kinda don't talk much now, but I still consider you as a friend so you're counted in here too! First Nygh person too, so yeap. (i somehow sense a trend here)
Well, of course there's Angie too! Totally made my year too.
Of course, last but so obviously not the least, is Baby! Really. you've helped me a lot through this year, you've been a great friend, you've boosted my ego tremendously, and you've made me into a much more confident and image-consious person. You've always been there when i needed someone to chat with, discovered my weak 'pressure points' *coughshouldercough* and entertained me all the time by being the great gal that you are. Really. I can't thank you enough, so I'll just end off here. I hope that with this new year you sudden baffling bouts of emoness will go away, or at least i hope you trust me enough to confide in me about them. Stay happy, stay super chio and good luck for the new year! Love you loads. <3
oh. Hmm. where was I? Oh right, social life. Yeap. That concludes it. Hey, like i said, it grew leaps and bounds from 0 to around 3 non schoolmates! That's really good progress ya know.
Next, there was OIP! Woah. I think i've overkilled on reflections of this one, so i'll leave it at that. It really changed my life, because of the interaction with so many new people, and so many friendships forming there.
Actually that about wraps it up. Many things happened which help to mould my thinking and actions in some way, but i can't express myself properly. For example, there is the newfound responsibility in my CCA, realisation of the many things i have to work on, realisation of how time is merely like numbers, to be divided into segments allocated for tasks. I hope that these thoughts can help me propell myself further into my responsiblities in future, and i can maximise my productivity.
whoa whoa lost myself for a little while there.
There. Another thing. Of course, last year was fantastic, but still there are bad points. To quote evangeline, I became.. well, more sacarstic. (still don't spellcheck hurhur). I don't know why, and I don't really sense it at times, but when i read through my archives, i realised that yes, somehow my manner of speech, my actions, my mindset as become rather.. cocky.
It's as though i owned the world. I go round making somewhat witty jokes, displaying the little i know of literary finnese like an ignoramus. Somehow, though i write with no intention of hiding anything, as i browse through the archives I feel that I'm gradually covering up my real self, a layer of wit here, a sheet of lame jokes there. Much like a phone with a lousy casing, you know it works but you just don't want to use the phone because it looks like crap.
I guess ego's a double edged sword. Too much and you become overconfident, too little and you become.. uh underconfident? yeah.
This is taking quite a lot of time, so I'll just end off with what I hope to acheive this year.
Last year, I was, really much to my surprise, given the post of Head Of Training. I never expected to get that role, but nevertheless I decided that hey since I've been trusted with this role, I gotta do my best. So no more slacking, and start getting my lazy ass in gear yeah.
Being sec 4s, I guess now the little one's lives are in our hands to make or break. (: Though I'm not a psl, I hope that if I ever contact them on a regular basis I'll be able to guide the lower secs up and give them advice based on my experience. All the while doing fantastically well in my studies of course.
That's a lot of high-reaching resolutions, so might as well add a few more while i'm aiming high.
- AIM TO DANCE WELL. (nothing to say here, really. I'm really loving dancing and I hope i improve. Flare FTW!) - AIM TO SING NICELY. (I like singing, maybe even more than dancing because it doesn't hurt as much. Except my ears. (: Well, I'm seriously considering joining CSS, so i'll hope that God blesses me with good vocals by then. ) - AIM TO BE FIT. (Now, i'm a lazy slob with legs. I hope that i can bulk up abit during the year, learn more sports, be more active) - AIM TO BE SOCIALBLE. (Not just to girls, i'm not that big of a flirt. I mean to guys, girls, older people, younger people, all.) - AIM TO BE SMART. (Study, i guess. I make this resolution every year.) - AIM TO BE A BETTER PERSON (personality wise. I need alot more caring, abit more funny, and a hell lot more memory when it comes to stuff other people say.)
Okay that's about it for the new year. Best of luck to everone, then. BE HAPPY AND DONT GIVE UP IN ANYTHING YOU DO!
