Well it's the last day of 2007 and I feel an obligatory speech coming up 8)
First things first, I finished all my homework before 2007 ended! Hey the lit essay friggin killed me and reduced my "last day of the year" enthusiasm to some poor withered thing ok but anyway now I can enjoy the last few hours of the year and the first day of 2008 properly heh.
Secondly to everything important to me; family, friends, pltnmates, school, piano, ncc.. I think all these aspects were quite smooth-sailing this year huh. I guess my family stays the same every year, but I've come to appreciate them fully and more ever since coming to secondary school. Maybe it's the support through all the worst times like when I first entered SC and didn't know a single person, getting accustomed to the school, stress from piano and ncc, and egging me on when I was depressed about all these things. Sigh I love my family haha.
Friends-wise, I became a lot closer to people like Chloe, Bala, Poh, Sarah, and Chongying, made new friends like Kim, the twins, Jess, and well basically everyone else in 2sy. And not forgetting pltnmates! We became so much closer this year compared to last year, despite all the little quarrels and that as of now, 7 people have left our original pltn. Haha and Kim joining our pltn was a good thing too! :)
School was probably the most unsatisfactory though, I don't think I put in my best efforts in schoolwork and thus the er, 4% drop in my overall percentage. One of my regrets this year, because even if work was tougher this year compared to sec one, it was certainly possible to do better.. but ah well no point really, in saying all this now, so I promise to work hard next year lol.
Piano was my biggest accomplishment this year I guess! :D I'm glad that Chongying and I both passed Grade 8 smoothly, and no hurry for all the future exams eh, those can wait. We should finally enjoy one year without taking exams and just practise.. hee.
NCC was a lot better than last year too.. I'll probably remember part B year for a long time; I can't even remember much about last year already haha but maybe next year will be better, I don't know. As long as I have my dear pltnmates right! Aw.
Okay anyway for 2008:
1) I don't want to regret doing/not doing anything
2) I want to be more focused and committed to things I do, be it school, peer leading, ncc, or piano
3) I want to control my actions/feelings/words better
4) Exercise more
5) Spend more time with 1se people
..and
6) Let the people I'm grateful for in life know that I love them
:)
Ah I'm finally done. Man it took my awfully long to write this post I even had to go for a toilet break in between. And I'm a free thinker, but
Thank you God for this year!
