the first day of 2009 has come to an end! maybe like what G said i should prac reflecting on my life when each year draws to an end, and maybe come up with new year resolutions and stick to it. i have never really done new year resolutions before, so my very first resolution for 2009 is to really stop fooling around in school and take my studies seriously to pull my CAP score up because as much as i wanna go with the flow and just slack around, i do wanna graduate with honours so it would really take a lot of hard work to pull it up from a 2.7 to a 3.5!(im gonna prove my palm wrong and have a fulfilling life even with my 2.7 CAP now) university is like the last stretch of my school life so i better make full use of it and study hard before i start working (urgh)! so means in order to concentrate on my studies i would need to make sacrifices. & maybe the next resolution is to mend broken ties, hopefully! && also to handle my time wisely.
2008 seems to pass by really fast! makes me feel like im ageing really quickly.& like what jiaxin said, it is the year of many firsts. first time having such a long holiday, first job, first time going overseas with friends (i dont really count the primary school experience), first time being forced to be independent because university demands you to handle everything on your own, first time being so very scared about what lies ahead. though 2008 is just another year with 365 days, i felt like i've grown in many ways with regards to my family, friends and myself. i've learnt and tried to understand many things, though even with my effort (maybe not so obvious sometimes) some things just dont seem to change but at least i know i did try. i know that i've pretty much neglected my family always putting them second, i do feel bad and i do make efforts to squeeze in time for them, but it doesnt seem to be enough. sometimes i wish that home can feel more like a home and that my mum can just stop assuming things about me and just try to understand me and see beyond what i express, and see that im really not as bad as she claims me to be, and that i am really trying my best to be a good daughter. hmm i probably suck at showing my true emotions, i should add that to my resolutions, to learn to express the love i feel for everyone.
im really glad that i still have the people whom i care about with me, i know these are the ones that i will keep for life. i can secretly smile to myself thinking about all of you. hopefully we all can grow old together and laugh til our dentures fall out. hoes before bros! & im really thankful for having new friends whom i could add to the list of the people whom i wanna grow old with. & G i know we've been through a whole lot of trials and tribulations this year, but come to think of it, we go through trials and tribulations every year! BUT still we manage to get through all of them and thats the power of it all. && for the munkies, i have to admit that we've all drifted apart it doesnt feel like last time anymore, there's like this huge gap between all of us which doesnt seem to go away. but at least we still bother to meet up, and credits really all go to wanxian. &&& the cj gang, im really so grateful for having you guys in my life, yall give me an experience i've never really experienced before. if it werent for yall, i think i would regret going to cj. &&&& the singapore film people plus jiawen & feizhen, i cant believe in just such a short span of time like 3 months?! we could actually become pretty close. (i will not use mushy terms for fear of jiaxin and bonnie mocking me again) honestly school wouldnt be fun without you guys because yall make going to school less dreadful! jiawen if you're reading this, stop digging up primary school photos already!
2009, a new year (& hopefully a good one too), a new start, but old friendships will still remain, & hopefully school will remain good. im ready to embrace the new :)
