All we needed was love,
That's the way it was supposed to be.
Seventeen. It's a new year, and another beginning for me. JC 2 seems pretty stressed out, as the school decided to start off the term with a bang, literally. I've been flooded with tests and incomplete assignments from the holidays, and have been sleeping for an average of about 4 hours a night. Man. This isn't the way I wanted JC2 to be. I know that it's going to be hard, but I didn't want to be pulled down by my lazy acts last year..
Nevertheless, i've managed to complete all of them by the first week, which is a feat despite all the extension of deadlines. January has been great, seeing all my classmates every single weekday once more. They're the only reason why I look forward to lectures everytime, because that is when we usually bond. I'm quite proud to be from 1320,even though we have a lack of big outings like chalets and BBQs. It's like we're all bonded in an extremely unique manner and understand each other quite well.
Anyway, I'm really sorry for not blogging recently (for about a month) because of the committments that I've tied myself down with. But still, it's a new year and I should make some resolutions for myself. So here we go:
14 resolutions for 2014
1. 200 friends in NYJC by the end of the year.
2. Get at least a silver for NAPFA.
3. To get at least an A for 3 H2 subjects, and a B for the remaining H2 and GP.
4. Keep up with the committment of eating out with my family at least once a week.
5. Keep up with the homework load in school - not dragging my assignments for more than 5 days.
6. Have at least two positive thoughts daily, no matter what life throws at me.
7. The ability to think rationally no matter what scenario that I am in.
8. Staying out of love. There's little time left for distractions.
9. Not to overthink/complicate things. It's time to stop my mind from messing things up.
10. At least 5 memorable experiences in NYJC before I graduate.
11. At least 5 hours of personal time every week. It's good to find time and peace to do some reflections and the things I want.
12. At least one meetup for every single group of friends that I've been close with for the past 5 years.
13. Savings of at least $1000!
14. Have the courage to say 'yes' to everything, no matter what they may be.
I really hope that i'll be able to fulfil these resolutions by the end of the year. I need things like this in my life, indicators of whether I am heading towards the right direction, or straying away from the path. Sigh. I really hope to be happy this year. To be genuinely happy. With all the fake smiles and insincere encouragements cast aside.
There's only a year left, and I wanna make it count.
The days are long gone,
but when I hear that song,
it takes me back.
