2010

Everyone's doing summaries of 2009 and resolutions for 2010 and i guess i got influenced and felt like doing one too!

Summary of 2009

Well there were good things and along with it came the bad... but overall it was a great year! Of course there was the crazy mugging which i DON'T want to relive. It was fucking frustrating for me because... i don't like studying. I can never imagine a period of time where i studied consistently (as in, everyday). Except maybe for maths for PSLE (and yeah i got an A* for it! My maths was lousy as hell previously). For EOYs and MYEs for the rest of my secondary school life... I never really studied hard. For MYEs i rarely studied at all -.- For EOYs... I studied but I never really took it seriously at all. :\ But what's ironic is that I think that my results for school could actually exceed the grades i get for O levels. No, i am not geigei-ing, i really do think so. I guess i'll know in Jan. But while it was seriously motherfucking horrid, studying was a substantial part of my 2009 and i guess i gained a little self-discipline from that ;)

I got closer to my family. Life lessons from Dad, getting pampered by him too *hehe shopping trips!*, admiring my mother even more than before, and realising that my sisters were even awesomer than last year. (of course we did quarrel but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger) Of course i'm grateful to Bicky for being there as always too :) The three dogs get cuter year by year too yeah!

I learnt to treat my friends better... or at least i think i did. Well, even if it doesn't seem like i treat you guys any better... I'm really trying to be a better friend to you guys! You people are too awesome! :) Maureen (whom i've grown closer to over the holidays), Shihui, Jasmine, Mengxuan! :)

But hey i've made new friends yeah! People whom i had never really spoken to before... Like Pearleen, Eileen, etc. (etc. because i can't believe i only made 2 new friends! I refuse to believe it! but whatever i can't think of any lor.. so 2 it is. At least got right ;D) We aren't exactly very super good friends anw but hey i think we're friends :)

Of course there were old buddies. Ok actually only old buddy. I'm surprised i actually even met up with Zhiyu this holidays... even though we do talk in MSN and stuff we're not the closest, and we drifted away so much in the year of 07/08... so yeah i appreciate the friendship we still have :) As for Natalie i don't really speak to her anymore. ok it sounds like we turned to enemies but no it's because we drifted a lot a lot apart and i think i can count on one hand how many times i've interacted with her this year, haha!

And i did drift a lot apart from Umme, i think it happened in '08 anyway but... i remember her as a really good friend in sec 1 and 2 (:

Hopefully in the years to come, i'll make new friends but be able to keep the old ;) And there'll be more memories worth keeping like the last day of school when we went for sushi and played truth or dare in the middle of the parade square till late. It makes labouring over jotting all these down in my diary worth it. (Ok i didn't exactly write it down in my diary. But i will!!! It was one of the best, if not THE best memory i've had of my secondary school life.)

I also learned some lessons... Don't let people direct your life. You're the author, you make the decisions, not others. Don't even let yourself get the chance to be influenced by their opinions if it's YOUR choice to make. (Ok obviously when you're shopping they say the other colour nicer or something you don't say all this to them lah -.-) Another thing is that if it's worth it, fight for it. Don't give it up just like that because... 2 years down the road you might just regret it and it would've been too late by then. :)

Still, I guess I gotta say this -- I am a fortunate girl.

2009 was fucking fantastic. 2010? bring it on!

Resolutions for the year 2010

1. Get a clear idea of what i'm doing in life.
