and it's yet another year.. when it seemed not too long ago that the year 2007 had just started.. so a quick recall of the year gone past..
sometime back, i was prancing around in lab trying to finish up my fyp in january, taking care of my fish tank.. then it suddenly zoomed to march, towards the poster presentation/ marketing project/ HR pull-hair sessions.. exams suddenly came in april, in the midst of planning for my graduation trip to china.. and lo and behold, i was standing on the great wall of china in may.. followed by a hat-throwing session in july.. attended the 1st wedding of folks from my jc bunch of friends.. returned to china in nov, just to lose stuff on the trip =(.. and finally, hitting the end of 2007..
hmm.. feeling a little weird on how to conclude 2007, coz to me, life just goes on.. year after year, day after day.. i didn't cross into 2008 the way i wanted it to be, but it was just quiet and boring.. which may be needed for the upcoming busy weekend, which concluded yesterday evening.. but anyway, i still need my conclusion for 2007..
i learnt that i'm hyperactive and required to be on a continual move at all times.. at least during my waking hours and this may or may not be a good thing.. i learnt that i'm really bad with my technical knowledge and i don't bother questioning 'why', unless i'm really stuck.. i learnt that perhaps i value my friends more than the things that truly mattered to me.. and one sentence that perhaps sums me up, i am more of the world than storing up treasures that last..
2007 was definitely not a contented year.. for both a worldly scale, as well as a godly scale.. i saw many things that i wanted to have, wanted to achieve but the year ended with little achievements and with many things still sitting in the pits.. and most of the time, i just spent it eating and making merry..
so how will this affect me in the new year? will i just continue on with my present lifestyle and let myself just move along with the flow of events? or will i take courage and jump out of the box and do something about the whole situation? but before i can even jump out, there is something that i need to right, which is something that i told myself year after year that i'll right.. but i never did..
and after reading all that i've written, it seemed like i'm quite a goner with no future.. but this little thing that lurking in the background called 'HOPE', really gave me a mini-boost for the new year.. that no matter how bad situations can get, no matter how badly murphy tries to get one down.. there is still hope and that things will pick up.. it's a test of how much FAITH one has as well.. to last it through or to throw in the towel.. GRACE is there to give continual chances and i should just stop exploiting this grace but do something.. and start doing something.. and not to let what i've learnt over the weekend to be put to waste as well..
so life goes on.. it definitely looks like an endless tunnel to me now.. but i'm gonna put this down into words here and say, i will and gonna try to make things work.. and investing in the right things.. easy to say, difficult to achieve but i must make something out of year 2008..
so no fixed resolutions but i just want to accomplish as much as possible in this year.. period.. =)
