Welcoming the dawn of a completely new beginning, many join in the basking of the celebration of the new year with loved ones and friends in many countdown parties and new year bashes across the country and all over the world. I myself am no different from these people, I am afterall totally into this celebration thing.
Yesterday, 31Dec 2007, the last and final day of the whole year. Its significant to myself as this is the day I'll look at my achievements, losses and what I've learnt for the entire year.
Now the most "exciting" part begins...
The waiting
But I kept myself busy looking into the sky. I was scanning the skies for stars. To my DISAPPOINTMENT, there was none. Suddenly, a tiny little star appeared. It was for a short while, but it still amazed me. Before the clouds decided that the star had enough limelight. I made a wish nevertheless. Hoped it came true. The first and only star I saw on the last and concluding day of the year.
Well...
I waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited
FINALLY
the midnight hour came. The fireworks began. A full blow of 15minutes worth of fireworks from 3 different places was worth it. Yet, I was speechless at the thought of ""What's so good about fireworks?". I know they're pretty and amazing, but why? The crowd was going "Ooohhss and Aaahhss and Whoaaass"..I forgot everything and just submerged myself into the joy and happiness I felt. It was great.
So to start of the new year, I've made several resolutions in hope that'll I'll keep them.
Till next time,
A very Happy New Year
with all the usual greetings attached. To everyone who is currently reading this post...May all your dreams be fulfilled.
My very first post of 2008. This year will be filled with many 'my-firsts', and the list will go on. I could start with the first sms I sent, or the first place I went to, or even my very first word. However, that would be too long, and unsuitable for a blog entry. Rather, I would write on my last few thoughts for the year 2007.
The closing moments of 2007 brought no form of closure to my heart. But that is not to say that I am looking forward to 2008, it's just to say I wished 2007 hasn't ended yet. With a question unanswered, with a speculation unconfirmed, with a thought unprovoked, how could the year end with a peace of mind (at least for my mind).
Oh well... I think 2008 will be better. Wait.. Here's the resolutions I promised...
1. A smooth transition into yr 3 life. I want to be able to cope with the added responsibility, stress and pressure. I expect to be completely adjusted in 3 days time, especially to the regular timetable and set aside time for everybody who is important to me, if not possible, then by 7 days.
2. Good grades at least for the mid year exams or its equilavent. Maintain a respectable academic standard throughout the year..
3. Improve my level of stamina, strength and acceleration, in summary, my fitness. to my maximum. At least 2 runs a week. Never to skip a band practise without any valid reason.
4. Be faithful to my religion, my family, my close circle of friends and you. At the same time, I intend to make new friends and widen my social circle. I want to learn to accept everybody for who they are and not discriminate.
5.Maintain a low profile and keep silence most of the time in class. speak only when spoken to..
6.Be healthy..not too much fried food, KFC,MACDONALDS etc. not too much sweets as well..
7.Practise piano regularly so that after A level exms can just revise and take Grade 8 exam ASAP.Practise MUCH MORE maths too..
8.Save MORE money..
