2006 in review... 2007 in preview
I do not believe in new year resolutions... mainly because i disappointed myself too many times in my youth... if you know you dun have the discipline to say, lose 10 kg in a year, then why bother, right?
the past 2 weeks have been hectic with the house move... and i also get very melanchoy during that period every year... Christmas comes and you reflect on how God has been good to you, the year-end approaches and you start thinking about how you had spent the year, wondering if you did it justice or not... and as the new year dawns, you comtemplate how you're going to draw on the new slate.
2006 hasn't been that bad, neither has it been fantastic. time just flew by so quickly, i dun think i did enough 'wonderful noble' things. i made a career switch and enjoy what i'm doing... i officially graduated from uni (finally, all those years of studying - or not - have paid off!)... i lost some friends while making some new ones... i learnt to network... i got to travel, though that beach holiday dream hasn't materialised yet (Nis! Thailand this year!)... watched some good theatre... i improved so much on my cooking my mum trusted me to whip up the entire Christmas feast... and i had another wonderful year with Him...
yet, i feel that some things are lacking... i wish i had done some other things.... i dun know, perhaps read more good novels, take more 'me-time' so i wouldn't feel so haggard... compose some poetry... i dun know... i feel there's a 'woah' thing missing out of all the things i did in 2006, and hence, it's kinda left a blot in my 2006 accomplishments.
this 2007... i pray i'll continue to have good health, happiness, the ability to smile, appreciation of the little little things in life, watch the grass grow... more money, now that's something to pray for... and perhaps do other things like, i dun know.... help out in a theatre production, doing lights or something... learn how to drive.... yup, i gotta stop procrastinating and learn to drive... lol, i haven't even been able to get my bum out of the seat to register for my basic theory test (the idea of studying just overwhelms me now, lazy pig!)
i'll also like to learn nonya cooking (all friends rejoice!)... lol... yum yum...
it's okay to have hopes for the new year, right? no pressure... just things to think about doing... and maybe hopefully really do them.
during the reunion gathering with my college student council mates, someone said that the year of the pig is going to be a bad year for us little piglets... some chinese superstition thingy. when i heard that, i told myself, nope, not gonna believe it. 2007 is going to be a wonderful year!
and i hope it'll be the same for all of you too....
