2010!
Saturday, January 02, 2010
the previous post was largely on the previous year...i guess i would want to do a bit of new year resolution for 2010, especially when it's the start of a new decade.
1. Read more. I never realised that I actually do enjoy reading, especially good literary works. I guess it's the hidden part of me that was buried when I gave up literature after my 'O' levels. I've read quite abit last year, and I hope to continue this habit since I do have the luxury of time in camp...I will stick to the old pattern, alternating between fiction and non-fiction. I may pick up history books again too...another of my un-kindled passions.
2. Take things easy. Last year I saw alot of bad things happen, and I realise alot of times I have no control over them. It upsets me that the relationships that I hold are not working very well, and I have to tell white lies to please others. After putting much thought, I realise that certain things are just not meant to be. If it doesn't belong to you, it doesn't serve any purpose to hold on to it tightly. Maybe letting it go may improve the situation... Take things easy, and things may just turn out well. (That, of course, requires me to be less soft-hearted...)
3. Relax more, enjoy life as it is. Last year I came to know a group of people from different backgrounds. They may not be the most intelligent or intellectual people around, but they are indeed a group of amazing people whom i have and am still learning alot from. And the most important thing is to relax and enjoy life more, and keep my depression level to the minimum. I guess I'm more willing to try new things, and not restrict myself to the usual things that I do. I'm also getting better at dealing with my depression, I guess what's most important is to just stay cool.
4. Cherish the people around me. 2 years ago I saw the demise of my beloved grandmother, and I saw, right in front of my very eyes, how fragile life is. I may not have a very large social circle, but I do have good friends that I really do value. I hope that I will make a better attempt to meet up and catch up with them. People say that it gets more difficult to forge strong friendships as one grows older. This is an undeniable fact, and that is why I think I should cherish the people whom i can work well and get along with now. This includes many from the platoon i'm currently in. hopefully our relationship remains amicable and we will still meet up in the many years to come.
that's about it for now...
have a fantastic year ahead. =)
