as i scroll up and down the fb home page, it is filled with well wishes for the next year. the year 2012.
people say that 2012 would be the year the earth is going to end. there is even a movie about it. but is that true? ttytt, the asnwer is not really that important to me. yes we all die.. but eventually we all are going to. don't we? musn't we?
i guess that topic is death is rather a sad one. and no one would really choose to talk about it on the last day of the year. but... shouldn't the last day of the year be one of reflection. to look back at the choices you make. the things you did. the path that you walked. and then try to change anything. more of what did you take back this year, rather than setting new resolutions. i cannot speak for others but i speak for myself. i hardly follow my resolutions. in this changing and dynamic world, we do new a goal, a direction but how we get to our goal, the route. we need to adapt and take whatever that comes to us. is thrown at us. sounds easy? it is. but when you add in morals, peer pressure. principles. money. etc. everything seems to stand in your way sometimes. making it difficult to move on and you might just remain there for a while. or going round and round in circles.
just like how i read xiao di's blog, setting realistic resolutions. his method was to set stuff that you can actually do. like backpack around Singapore. or try all the mee pok noodles in Singapore. tangible stuff rather than the intangible. like.. be a kinder person. if you let up your sit to an elderly on the train or bus, does that make you kinder? you might argue saying that you don't usually do that.. but is that really an improvement?
with this issue, i think but on watching the show i not stupid. the dad said.. even a 0.5 mark difference is considered an improvement. can we really use results to determine improvement?
sometimes the problem doesn't lie with the tangibility of the reoslutions we make. but the memory of it. how many of us can truthfully say you remember what resolutions you made at the start of this year? i don't even think i did make any resolutions for the matter of fact. haha.
maybe we should start taking life seriously. for this new year. yeah 2012. the new resolution would be to take it more seriously.
i like how jin puts it. if you want to do it. make sure you do it well. if not. don't do it at all. taking life seriously does not mean to be serious all the time. on the contrary, you need to have fun. and enjoy every moment. i believe that every moment of the day, there would be a lesson for you to learn. be it small or big. even a tiny little gesture. it could be something that you do everyday. it could be something new. but i trust that. there must be something you can learn out of it :)
oki on a lighter note, i would like to take this opportunity to thank God for this year. even though the starting was a little rocky, but i still smiled my best and gave it my all. Thank you for the results. For allowing me to enter my choice course. a university. met a great group of friends. not forgetting the 10month work that i did before. some choices that i male that allowed me to learn and to be careful in future haha. in addition the nice and fun collegues that i met. and nice bosses that are really understanding. Thank you for bringing back old friends and even though some of them left. but we're still on talking terms. with that i'm grateful for. Eternally. of course those who are still in my life. thank you for them remembering me. and still keeping in touch. even though the times are tough but we'll try our best to stay in touch :)
really miss all of them :) but it has definitely been an eventful year haha :)
take care everyone as we say good bye to the year. the year of work. the year of A level results released. the year of uni life. the year of Hallyu wave. the year of new friendship. the year of 2011.
God Bless :) thinking if i should meet dongsang later haha will see how. let the countdown begin!!
