Wednesday, January 19, 2011 @ 4:00 AM: Feeling lazy
The academic term hasn't supposedly started yet, and I'm feeling a bit shagged.
Yes, that comes after rushing 2 lab reports that I've happily procrastinated in doing the entire hols.
A review of 2010 can be said a year of lessons, perhaps knowing myself better and perhaps knowing what I need better, but sadly speaking some things that I really desire did not turn out to be the way I had wanted.
Well, like a loner in a desert, I shall continue looking for cactuses to provide me with the source of water I want. It may be a painful process with the opening of the cactuses and perhaps seeing nothing inside, but more often than not, the opening of one full of water will be enough to compensate the 10s that bring nothing in it.
As a friend had kindly told me before, never ever give up on friendships. What I truly behold is that never give up on worthy friendships. Some have to be let go, and it is none of my own fault cos' I have tried my best in whatever I could to salvage or even prolong the misery. On the other hand, some just get better and better each day... even as we realise abt our own shortcomings and truly learnt to appreciate that in each other...
2010 is a year of exploration and looking beyond a bit of my comfort zone as well. Staying in Oxford and looking for my own accomodation for the last 3 weeks there when I had to move out from a friend's place, and looking for accoms outside college are, for example, small things that I did not have to do. Being really independent is sometimes really different from thinking u are independent and alone in the world, and for those days I know myself better. Though I might not necessary have the courage to hitchhike all the way alone, or cycle my ownself to a far away land, I think the experience is enough to suffice. And yup, it is after all, not as glamour or cool as I thought. It really takes ur ability to adapt to many different situations.
2010 is also a year of hitting upon new boundaries and pushing myself, let's hope that 2011 is even better!
Stuff to look forward to in 2011:-
1. Musical
2. Start of 1-year attachment
3. PhD apps and GRE
4. Finally getting to meet my singapore friends on a more regular basis
5. Graduation (though the exams part I a bit dread)
Resolutions:-
1. Be more open in views and be less judgemental.
2. Do not skip lectures (had the habit of doing it last term when i was burnt out)
3. Knowing when to do the right thing and not hanging on to false hopes only to disappoint myself.
4. Try to see problems as lightly as they could be warranted. Can't get too stressed up!
thank you for bringing me memories...
