new year resolutions

Since 2009 is drawing to an end, I thought of writing something about new year resolutions. Personally, year in, year out, I've discovered that many goals are set for the new year, all full of energy and enthusiasm to reach all the goals nicely written out in a list. Nevertheless, life is never smooth sailing and sure enough I find many barriers and interruptions shattering all those goals, everything seems to crumble down and not a single goal can be achieved. In my opinion, it's actually good to set resolutions or goals so that we can have an aim and direction in life instead of just drifting along, since time waits for no man :). However, setting a long and rigid list may get us too excited and once a small matter doesn't work out, we lose all hope to achieve anything. Once again, it differs for everyone, some may already have a very clear direction and aim after a long time of planning, and so setting very specific goals is absolutely practical. I think that in setting new year resolutions, it good to anticipate and be mentally prepared for any unforseen circumstances. That way, when something goes wrong, we're already geared up for it, can keep our cool, and maybe even turn the situation around into something better. 2010 is coming really soon..a whole new year to look forward too..

2009 is almost drawing to an end

Wow, its almost the end of 2009 as the month of December begins. Time really flies...I'm still having the post-exam effect, brains will fully work hopefully next week :p

its almost the end of 2009!

Time really flies, we're now in the month of November, 2 months more to conclude the year 2009. Finals would be coming up soon, assignments handed in this week, and after that need to think how I can make the holiday fruitful lol. I would like to thank my group members for the diff subjects dis sem for being so co-operative and above all I thank God for giving me strength to carry on till today :) many things have happened, and I've learnt not to be so naive compared to foundation years, I'll probably try to laugh it over when I think of it today lol. Please everyone, and be a fool :p. i found that it'll be impossible to please everyone, no matter what you do, there r ppl who wil still dislike you. In addition, I've learnt to stand up for my own rights and know that I have my prerogative in all situations, no one can force you to do anything if you can overcome your own self-consciousness :)there's so much more to learn in life, everyday is a new day I look forward to become stronger.

The crazy week!

Things have been getting hectic, nevertheless I thank God for giving me strength in every situation. Thank you Lord for providing for me more than I ever needed, guiding me in every situation, and building my character. Please continue to guide me for I am nothing without You..

How to stop being emo

I'm trying so hard during this period, I know being emo makes no difference, in fact sometimes it makes situations even worse.

1. Get hold of the reasons for being emo
2. Learn what you can do about it (talk to someone, take some actions etc)
3. Know that life doesn't always go as you wish it to be (if it does, we'll never have any stress!)
4. Commit and trust in God (first priority, human beings can't even know what is to come in the next second, minute or hour)
5. Don't kick yourself when things don't turn out, don't blame yourself or anyone else. But if there's a problem, discuss with family/friends what you can do a bout it to rectify the situation.

Brain blank now. Can't think anymore -.-

Time to re-energize

I've realised being emo and taking things too seriously can really be pointless..though I think that taking time to reflect and have space for your self is essential in life :) Just a random thought here, whether we realise it or not, words can have a powerful impact on people..despite looking at it from another way, words don't cost a cent, people can say whatever they wish to. Whatever it is, I think that one way to overcome this issue is simply to not take things personal, as in don't take it as a personal attack. I think in general, most people are reasonable and are not out there to attack you, it'll be obvious if they are, it'll be symptoms like constant ridicule, hurtful and spiteful words, etc. At the same time, since words for us human beings have such great impact, its important as civilized people to think before we speak, think first if its appropriate to make such remarks..

A new day awaits..

Blog finally updated during this long weekend :) Been a bit emo the past week, but getting better..hahaha..I just wanna thank God for giving me strength to continue on and never give up..When I reflect back all the years of my life and what I've achieved, I know I would never have made it without Him..even for everything I'm going through now..thank you for giving me this life, although everything comes to and end, I will do my best while on this earth..thank you for giving me everything and more than I have ever needed :) Everday is a new day I can look forward to, because everything that happens in under Your control..
