Indeed, we seem to wonder that our lives haven't started and when will it start? There's a lot of things that we need to do first before we can begin our lives..what life? This is our lives. Looking back, I realised that my life has been somewhat colourful. All the obstacles, the ups and downs makes me a stronger person, more confident to meet the rest of my journey of life. Gone through several jobs, taking care of my mom (with my sister) who had diabetic who finally passed away due to renal failure, more jobs, learning diving, quitting jobs, relocate to a place that I would never imagine to be, err....Scotland, going back to school to do masters degree, (and in the process earned John Edge award and second place Balmoral prize), meeting mew people, gained 2 pet-brothers, doing volunteer jobs with Aberdeen Racial Equality Council, doing part-time job as carer for the disable and making loads of new friends in the process. I am closer to my family, and gained a new nephew! This is my life at the moment. And, oh, being smooched by 3 handsome guys at the start of new year! Talk about a step at a time!
New resolutions? Nah....we all want the same things, loose weight, live and eat healthily, more exercises, quit smoking, get a good career, make more money, buy nice things, live comfortable lives, marry rich and handsome guy and live happily ever after. We want the best things in life. I think of resolutions as short term measures to give ourselves boosts to do the things that we want to do but sometimes never get around to do it. In the end? Screw it, we never do it anyway. Another year come and gone and we're still at the same place, in fact, gained more weight, eating more junks than ever...ha ha... We keep wishing and still doing the same things over and over and just go with the flow. I have been doing that for many years especially when come to my career. But I am determined to do better from here on. Is this a resolution for me? I don't believe in new resolutions. I think of it as a final aim of what I want to achieve in life.
Looking forward to a new year? No and Yes. Whether we like it or not, 2009 is here. No, because of all the bad news of financial crisis that have been happening around the world especially here in the UK where recession hits the most, I think. Is there hope for me? And Yes, I am looking forward to this year as I have all the aims that I wanted to achieve in my life. I am determined. I believe the experience that I have under my belt and the achievement that I've got during my master's year hopefully will give a boost in getting the career that I am hoping for. We'll see.
And, I am also looking forward to a colourful year! Happy New Year, everyone!
