What a year

It irks me whenever I sit down to draft my New Year Resolutions, because I know I'd never fulfilled half of them. I think I didn't set any for myself last year. Yeah, I think I didn't. What a relief. I'll go for the less tangible stuff this year, because they easily illusionalize people; they seem easier to fulfill but, in fact, it's more in-depth and much more fulfilling.

It doesn't bode well if you have to reach deep into your pockets at the start of the year, and that's (unfortunately) what I'm experiencing now. Too much has went into karaoke, CDs, instruments, ... If this continues, my planned Taiwan trip will go bust. As well as my inpromptu HK trip if everything goes well by the end of May. As well as my HK David Tao concert. As well as my SG David Tao concert. Those sure add up to an astounding number of zeroes. So the first bimbotic resolution is to save, save and save. Or at least pass my driving test the first time round so I wouldn't have to waste more money on more lessons. They're a pain in the arse.
And I'm seriously hoping to gain new depth in music, because I've been relying largely on it to keep me sane and cheery all this while. I've never been able to describe this passion aptly with any word/phrase/sentence/essay; it's intrinsic. So I'm hoping to expose myself to more forms of music and experience, because that's what reinforces the fundamentals of understanding music. Theory isn't everything.

This is probably the most insane project of all but, yes, I'm adamant about getting to know my close friends more in the emotional sense. I didn't like the feeling of losing grip in this arena, because I'm 100% made of emotions through and through, and I want to believe in my ability to understand those around me to a certain extent. Some find me extremely nosey or intruding, but I can't help it if I can tell from the way you look at me that you're thinking about a certan something. That's me, and I won't change it for the sake of saving someone grace. I'm not sure how many people I've hurt with my psychic understanding, but I hope it's a boon, not a bane.
