2009

Gah. I hate penning down New Year Resolutions, because I know I seldom fulfill them (like what Hong Ying said during lunch just now). Anyway, I checked out what my 2009 New Year Resolutions were and, true enough, I didn't touch half of them. *Laughs* Just to summarise:

2009 New Year Resolutions:
1. Pull up my CAP. --> Fulfilled, but I should have been clearer.
2. Stop conflicting with my parents, my mum in particular --> Unfulfilled, and probably will be the case until I get married.
3. Exercise. --> Which I obviously haven't.
4. Save money. --> Which I obviously haven't.
5. Strengthen existing relationships --> Fulfilled.
6. Write more lyrics. --> I've got more half-songs than proper songs. Gah.

... which obviously shows how bad a procrastinator I am. But wouldn't it be nice to look back in one year's time and find out that you actually SET GOALS for yourself, and perhaps have even achieved them?

As each semester of Uni life comes and goes, the stark fact of life gets more and more daunting; to be inching closer and closer to working life, to full-fledged unbridled adulthood, to slogging as a bottom-feeder...

But I'm also thankful, despite all the setbacks this year heralded, for the priceless moments in life. To overcome boundaries, fighting for myself, fighting for us, growing up, learning from all the pain... And many many more events which made me stronger and more of a fighter than a quitter.

Yes, I'm admittedly afraid of the big world out there. Yet at the same time, the boundless sphere is always an attractive carrot. And this Great Leap into a new decade is just the beginning to many things.
