2008, as it is.

January 1, 2008

There is a voice at the back of my head. It screams, “SCHOOL TOMORROW. DON’T WAKE UP.” Which is probably the reason why I took a good four hours to get out of bed today. But it’s 2008! Year of the Olympics, and on a more personal note, the start of Junior College life. I see the winds and tides changing ahead, but no fear, because this year will be a good year! Must be optimistic (#1)! Even though JC isn’t the path I really wanna take, I guess I should be thankful for a secured place in it anyway, while the rest of Singapore were slogging away, trying to clinch places in their dream tertiary institutes. I on the other hand was wondering which institute would be better than the one I had a place in, for the whole year.

Sometimes I wonder if the fact that my face tells everything is a good thing, or a terrible flaw. So I’m gonna try to tolerate things a bit more (#2). JC’s only two years long I cannot afford to screw up friendships because there’ll be no time for making up and all that. And even less time for contemplating whether to try to be friends with certain people. Just uh, be more sociable (#3) I guess. Open up more, smile more. :)

Right ums. Am standing on a thin line between thinking and doing. Because the five of us spent half a year talking about it and we’ve revised draft after draft after draft, and now finally we have people supporting us, we just need to DO IT. Sekretplans must work out this year (#4) if all else fails, ALRITE. Moving on, I am going to stay healthy (#5) by eating my greens off my plate before touching anything else, having a fruit for breakfast and whee weekly PackFoodDay & VeggieDay with Barbie. I started off the day with a banana! Be proud of me :D

Other things of importance – no slacking off this year and next (#6) because it is not cool to do so. Practice my guitar, violin & piano everyday (#7), stay awake in lectures & tutorials by all means (#8) including finding a brand of coffee that works for me, and fixing up my Stay Awake kit. Since I’ll be busier than I am now, it means that I’ll need double the effort to be nice to my family (#9).

Stay strong, stay sane, stay myself (#10).

And there you have it. 10 resolutions for 2008. And mission 101 as well. Am off to clear my room for the new year!
