Well, 2011, isn't it?...1st thing 1st, a happy new yr to all!...like i wld do every yr, i wld reflect on wad i had done over the past yr and, obviously, set down this yr's resolutions...well, then time for some reflections!...1 yr ago, i set down these resolutions for 2010:
1) Keep my family happy
Lao ma claimed that even since the days i returned frm the army, i was a more optimistic person and managed to get the real deal done...thks...i also and trying wad i can to lift the spirit of the family...they appreciated it, and i thk i had done some of my part to kp the family alive....but obviously, dat does not end here.
2) Maintaining a fulfilling job
I got a job as a retail assitant at POPULAR in feb...and loved it!...the guys dere might had forgotten who i may be, after more than half a yr since i last left the company...but i still will rmb the memories dat first job...it started off as bumpy, but after getting used to the way of things, i appreciated things more, and managed to gain the favour of colleages alike (who, unfortunately, left shortly after i did)...wonderful, in overall...consider this done!
3) Enjoy university life
Well, u can say so...although it feels lonely in the 1st few wks on campus (which was greatly due to unforseen circumstances), i slowly managed to know some ppl and grp mates and know some of the campus life...not too bad, if not for the occasional dash btw faculties to catch up on schedules...oh, my CAP so far was cool as well, and left me a satisfied guy.
4) Be more resolute than I am
In some cases yes...i managed to wrangle my apparent addiction to computer games under control when I need to...i don't really feel the strong urge this time to rush to the computer to play a few shots of some computer games...as I am typing this post, notin much is racing through my minds except my thoughts, uninterrupted...In addition, my resolve to excel was greatly accelerated by the performance of the ppl i know in campus...dats a natural factor, of cos...
5) Get a laptop
Naturally yes...i wld loop my head off if dat does not happen, as it comes as a necessity for me to have one....nt because it is another entertainment tool, but rather as a tool to aid in wk (HEY, wad i am talkin these gibberish anyway...issn't dis common sense??)...
6) Obtain a car licence
NOT done...but in progress...i'm still in the midst of practical lessons, but dat will take some while to finish...after all, i'm a nice guy, so its getting me some time getting used to the controls of the car (which i greatly pulled off in my last lesson in a review)...hoping to get this done by the nxt half-yr...
7) Keep in touch...once more
Check...i managed to hook up wid my jc pals once in september...and dat brought me to a Orchard Road that i could barely recognise...but admist the blitzful atmosphere, we had an exchange of words, laughter and discoversy as we keep up wid the old times...i'm glad dat had happened, although dere were some circumstances which prohibited me frm attending other opportunities for reunion (such as the ever-elusive 21st-b'daes)...i also managed to kp up wid realli o' pals (although some of them had gone overseas for reasons...my best of luck to them)
8) Clear the SAT
Done as well!...wid amazing colors....yet, not enough to change to a better course in NUS...now dats disappointing...
9) Keep my weight below 75kg
A complete failure...i remain above (ahem)...i nd to do something bout this!!
10) Learn to cook
In terms of baking yes...in fact, I managed to inspire Lao Ma to take up baking again, but I had started with the basics, such as biscuits and cakes...but I intend to go further, with no doubt...
AND with that, i shall list down my resolutions for 2011:
1) Keep my weight below 78kg, for real!
2) Maintain a CAP of at least 3.5
3) Finish my training for a driving licence
4) Obtain a vacational job
5) Get approval for a SEP
6) Work favorably during my next re-service
7) Train myself to ride a bike
8) Play a more active role in my family
9) Expand my horizon, and exlpore
10) To make a better person out of myself, in any way concievable
I guesses i typed on for long enough...i shd add on dat i will always continue to maintain this blog for as long as i can!...7 posts for last yr sounds ridiculous...i'm gonna pump in more effort to maintaining this site and kp this place alive!
