It's 15 minutes away from 2012 now. It's been a rocky road for me this year eh? Having met thrills and disappointments throughout my entire journey in my new class. Life in triple science and HCL is tough. But somehow, I managed to survive. I managed to find redemption in various subjects that I took. Maybe some really let me down, but they really showed me my flaws eh?
Resolutions for the New Year? I don't really believe in that. That is because they usually don't come true for me, even though I try my hardest to fulfil them. But this time, I'ma do it just for the tiny glimpse of hope that my heart has, as it attempts to embrace the new year with open arms.
Well, here is a brief summary of what I've experienced this year.
- SYF competition for Choir
- President and Student Conductor Appointment
- OBS Camp (:
- Batam Trip
- Phillipines Trip
- Zhonghua 100th anniversary Concert
- 11/11/11 concert.
- 3e6 Class Chalet
- Lots of Lunch dates with my friends
- Lots of movie dates with my friends
And of course, there have been disappointments too. I shan't list them, lest they might ruin my mood now. Sigh, I bet everyone's having the partying mood whereas for me, I'm trying to complete my Biology worksheet. Maybe that's the consequence for procastinating.. But who cares? I had fun during my December break. This year wasn't really meant for studying, even though I tried to put in some effort to do so.
I managed to bond closer with my friends. I managed to realize who are my true friends. They've been always around me, just that I'm usually oblivious to them. To those that managed to make me smile at least once this year, thanks for making my life slightly more pleasant than before. To those that made me despondant or disappointed this year, thank you for letting me have the chance to overcome the tides that you've given me, so that I would come back stronger than before.
Just before the ball in Times Square, New York drops to commemorate the New Year, I would like to share a speech that's made by Hilary Swank in the movie ' New Year's Eve '.
It's suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the New Year, to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps - our promises made, and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures - or closed ourselves down, for fear of getting hurt. Because that's what New Year's is all about: getting another chance. A chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And stop worrying about 'what if' and start embracing what would be. So when that ball drops at midnight - and it will drop - let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other. And not just tonight but all year long.
Please remember all the promises that we've made to each other, and even though we may have slipped the chance to fulfil it, do take some time off and make it up for your loved ones. There's only gonna be one year that's known as 2012 in our lives. Regardless of whether the phenomenon of 2012 occurs or not, we should keep our spirits alive, and cherish what we presently have, as well as to move on from the past. Live everyday happily, so that we won't be in regret if the world really comes to an end.
Well, those are just my two-bits worth for the new year. I might post my new year resolutions in my next blog post next year (:. A big thank you to all my readers who have been faithfully reading my blog and tagging! I wish you all a great year ahead for all of us. Oh, and a special note to all graduating students, I wish you all the best for your results in Week 2 (:. No matter what you get on that day, be contented and move on with your lives (:. Don't forget to remember me though!
That's all for now. I promise that I'll be back later. Bye (:. HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE TO ALL OF US! *pops champagne*
Deep down inside we wanna believe we still do.
I still do, and I hope that you do too.
I still like you loads.
