15 Revelations for 2015.

1. Plan 3 things (even if they are really simple or tedious) to do everyday. Get them done quickly and to the best of my ability. We live each day only once. Might as well use the days to the fullest.

2. Have an outing with friends and family once a week. It's great to unwind, and notice the people around me more.

3. Walk away from the things that make you upset constantly, and look at the brighter side of life. There's no point looking at things that throw only shades of disappointment and negativity into my life.

4. Develop a weekly routine. Maybe exercise for at least twice a week. Do something to make the weeks pass by more productively.

5. Know at least 15 songs that are outside of the mainstream genre. Maybe I should delve a little deeper into rock, RnB and country genres.

6. Listen to at least 300 new songs in 2015. And maybe learn how to sing at least 10 of them? I haven't been good in karaokes recently...

7. Speak up, or say nothing at all. Things may take a turn for the better if the words are said. But sometimes, some things are better left unsaid.

8. Have a more organized life. This one's a little tricky, because I have been wishing this for years but to no avail. I'll try again and hopefully, I'll have the committment to do so. I'll use Google Calendar more often, and keep my room tidy as much as possible..

9. Say no to the things that I can't commit. Turn away from the temptations when I can't bear the responsibility and consequences. The high is not worth the pain.

10. Be more adventurous. I have been in the safe path for far too long. Perhaps it's because of the experiences and misadventures that I had in the past. But it's been a while for me to recover, and time for me to get out of my shell to explore the greater things in life. Thinking about it, there have been a lot of experiences that I've been missing out on in Singapore.

11. Have at least an hour for myself daily. And this means staying away from my phone or all sorts of digital communication. One hour a day for me to do anything that I want, or possibly can. Even if it means that I'll be stoning in my bed for an hour doing nothing at all. It'll be great to find myself a little bit of peace everyday.

12. Put in more effort in displaying the love/care that I have for the people around me. I've been neglecting a lot of simple things that would mean a lot to others just because of studies. It's time that I spend more time in creating moments with the family and friends around me. I hope that I'll create at least 25 special moments with them this year.

13. Choose my battles wisely. If I wanna go, then go. If I wanna stay, then stay. There's no point wasting time getting stuck in dilemmas, weighing everything on both ends and end up doing nothing at all, literally. Make decisions quickly, and stick to them as much as I possibly can.

14. Maintain close contact with at least 15 friends from my JC life. This one is gonna be tough because all of us are already at crossroads. But I'll make it happen. I know I can.

15. Work on my fashion sense. This one is really difficult because I literally have zero fashion sense and all of my close friends know it. Regardless, I already have a great headstart from my trip to Taiwan and I hope that this momentum will continue to build up.
