As this year draws to a close, it's a moment to reflect and move on. Move on with the life that has remained stagnant, until I try to inject it with a little fun and happiness. There are so many plans, so many goals, and I hope to be able to achieve them in the coming year, barely 2 hours away.
2006 will also mark the year that I turn 21, and that would mean that I would have to be more responsible, more 'mature', and moving on to other pastures, greener or otherwise, possibly leaving some things behind as I forge ahead.
For the past few days, I've been happily churning out pizzas (Ash loves the pastry-like crust), and now, the latest, a fruit butter cake topped with icing sugar. Smells delish, but I shall let mom do the honour.
Another drastic action that I'm thinking of taking is to slowly wean off this blog, updating sporadically, and possibly ceasing it, maintaining the public one instead. It's too much work to maintain so many sites.
This year's been great. Let's see now...
- I'm better at cycling, and am now trying to get on with tennis.
- I met new people in school, grew firmer friendships with the old classmates, kept in touch with old secondary and work friends that I haven't met for a long time.
- I went on a trip, relaxed and had the most fun, especially driving the buggy! Us cousins are bonded well over the trip.
- I learnt to bake from scratch, and tweaked recipes to fit my taste, and it works!
- I've settled issues, and am happy with who I am. I don't want to be one of those pathetic people who feel that the exterior beauty is the reason for living (The Swan).
Now, resolutions for this coming year; (in no particular order)
1. Stop procrastinating!
2. Control my temper.
3. Pass my exams and get successfully into Year 3.
4. Get my driving lessons and license in time for the next Chinese new year.
5. Cut down on Mapling
6. Make new friends.
7. Get in shape! (I know, round is a shape.)
8. Thinking for myself. I've worn myself out being Fairy Godmother, and that's not healthy.
Friends have been telling me to get myself a guy. But hey, I'm not desperate for one. If it happens in the coming year, it happens. I have a lot of my past behind me, and it's a big bundle, really. I'm not harbouring hopes, but just being realistic. There's no need to harp on it. I'm fine being alone.
Now, go get your sparklers and get ready to countdown. I'm just too tired to mosh at the street-parties, having been out and busy for the whole day. Next year, perhaps.
Adieu, 2005! Aloha, 2006!
