Well, apologies for the extremely long delay in typing this blogpost. Actually, I should be doing my homework and not blogging, but I figured that a New Year greeting was in order. Even though I'm four days late.
I actually celebrated Christmas last year (since it's technically a new year already). Well, actually I celebrated quite alot last year, which is unconventional for me. I went bowling with two dear JC friends and went to catch a show at Resorts World Sentosa, even though I dozed off a little bit halfway >.<
To recap the whole year seems sort of surprising. I myself am mildly surprised at just how much took place last year: Orientation, Chorale, Biosoc, homework, new friends, new everything; countdown too, at the end of the year. So much has been experienced. A few regrets, chiefly being unable to revisit VS as many times as I would have liked to. And this year marks a new beginning (Time magazine says it's the start of something new) - being a senior, taking the A levels, Chorale tour in May-June. I guess when I look back and reflect a few years for now I'll see JC life as being the busiest of my schooling life (thus far, at least) and one of the most fulfilling. I probably grew up, opened up, became more social... and had a very important person step into my life.
Anyway, countdown was deeply rewarding in a sense. I had to dance in order to try and engage those who came along for the event (party rock anthem helped quite alot); I got to act like a kid once more, throwing confetti at people, as though it was snow (I still haven't seen snow yet -.-), lugging stuff aorund, painting, doing brainless jobs and getting really good at them - a little too good - organised a game; taught others; did something for the community. And of course I hope the waka waka dance from Shakira's song for the African World Cup would stick with me forever.
The party has ended, though, and it has been sobering to see stacks upon stacks of undone homework... Reality hits pretty hard. So IT'S ABOUT TIME (heh) to start on homework and hope against hope that I can catch up!
And I've made a few New Year resolutions, though I've probably violated them already by procrastinating for this blogpost...
I resolve to do something about my dismal NAPFA scores and academics by working hard and fnding determination. Procrastination remains one of my biggest evils. Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins.
I want to continue giving back to the community, though in smaller, less time-consuming ways than countdown and maybe Carebears... I might start again next year.
And I want to give more care and love to those dear to me.
Oh well.. That's about it, I guess? Once again, have a very happy new year, but don't indulge in only play or work; a healthy balance is needed :D Let's race towards our own finishing lines. There is an entire year ahead of us, and the early bird catches the worm... so, gear up your engines, and get ready for the hectic times ahead! There'll be challenges and onbstacles, but we will survive, and it'll all become sweet memories with time to come.
Till the next post (:
