2012; the beginning of the end.
Welcome to 2012, everybody!
A new year comes with new beginnings, reinvention, optimism and a lot of positivity. Can't you feel it? (If you can, cool story bro)
Soooo... Obviously people are gonna start with the whole New Year's resolutions drama. Hey, that shit is legit. Sure, it's irrational and the resolutions usually aren't kept to, but it's all about symbolism! You don't start a year with the darkest thoughts!
I know you don't really care my resolutions are, but I'm gonna tell you anyway (because I'm cool like that).
1. To grow into a better person. This is probably extremely vague, but there's no better way to phrase it. The happenings of 2011 have made me realize that the only actual growth a person can acquire is when he/she lives through different experiences. I have 366 days of experiences with 2012, I should grow to make myself proud (and hopefully a little taller hehe).
2. To drive on the roads of Singapore (and Aussie, hopefully) by the end of this year. Already enrolled in the driving school, already over with the Basic Theory lessons, still a fair lot to go though. Let's hope learning how to operate a manual vehicle isn't that complex. :$
3. To become a better debater. Call me nerdy, but I am very adamant about this. I'm gonna go for Open Tournaments until my seat in Uni is finalized. Wow *goosebumps*
4. To be braver, more daring. I know I sound like I have balls of steel at times (that's because I do, duhhh). I have fears of my own, mostly commitment-associated. I want to start cherishing those who become close to me, and not run away from them like I used to.
5. To learn to vent my anger and frustrations in a healthier way. I haven't exactly handled stressful situations in a pretty way in the past. I don't want to repeat that. Nevertheless, I assure you I don't have a short-temper, just a less preferable method of showcasing my disagreement.
6. To guide my brother and make sure he's on the right track. I love my lil bro, and I want only the best outcomes for him this year. He's had a rough 2011. <3
7. To put in more effort to maintain the friendships I treasure a lot. Guilty as charged, for the past 18 years, I haven't been putting in conscious, continuous effort. It's draining, but the gems are worth it, right? This applies especially for the boys who are going to cruelly leave me for NS. I will become an annoying stalker if I have to!
8. To live a healthy lifestyle. This is basically the rule of life already, but no harm reinforcing it. I'm gonna try something COMPLETELY foreign... Wait for it... It's coming... Drumroll please... Vegetables. Till now, only the green leaves tempt me. 2012 will change that, bitches! (I can hear the broccolis cry already)
9. To become more spiritually connected. No, I'm not talking Ghost-Whisperer action. Neither am I going to become a crackhead who says "chakra" in every ten words. Just a Sikh girl who respects and loves her religion.
10. You guys know you were waiting for this! It has appeared in the all the resolution-lists I'd made in the past 5 years! I'm gonna learn to swim like a fish by the end of 2012. Mark my words! No longer am I gonna look like _______\o/________ when I try to swim, hehehe. :p
Welcome to 2012, you! :)
