It is another new year once again... Been so caught up with so many things going-on and did not have quality self-time to really reflect and think about everything. To be honest, I have a pretty rough end to 2015 and start to 2016. Nevertheless, all is good! Because I choose to give thanks, be thankful of everything and no matter what happens. 2015 was a year of huge milestone in my life, whereby a lot of things were new to me. New environment to integrate and adapt in. It was a year of bitterness and sweetness. A year whereby a lot of massive things happened. I also realize how much I've changed as well. But in any way, 2016 will be another fruitful year, whereby I continue to learn and grow. And when it reaches 365/365 of 2016, I will look back, it will be another fresh whole new journey.
Whenever it is another new year, people often come up with resolutions for them to live with and to fulfill it. I was never a fan of doing this every year. I usually just live life as it goes. However, many things happened in 2015 and I never want to make those mistakes that I made again. I want to improve my lifestyle. Doing this "new year resolutions" is not just another new goals of the years to fulfill it. It is also a time whereby I deeply reflect again of whatever that happened and to know what kind of perspective and plans I would like to have. It will be beneficial to start the year with an end in mind.
2016 New Year Resolutions
1. To press on to the people that really matter and those that wants to spend time with me as well.
// This is probably one of the things I regret not doing it last year. Usually as we enter into a new friendships, there are those people that we tend to "notice more" and lean onto than others. Or we would choose to connect closely with certain people only. Of course we do try to connect with everybody but we can't be possibly be close to every single one. There will be different degree of "closeness" in friendships. And in this year, I want to connect back with those that i failed to connect much with last year. Now i choose to press on to those that really matters. I rather have a few close friends with me than to have many friends whereby the friendship level is just on the surface. Those that don't really matter, yea I won't spend any much more time with you. And i regret not spending much time with those that actually desires to spend more time with me. This time, I will open my eyes "bigger".
2. To be a better person in character. // We are all humans, imperfect and flawed. We all definitely will have things we do that are not desirable or right at all. Even as we make mistakes, what matters is at the end of the day, we choose to acknowledge them , learn and improve on ourselves. For instance, I know I get very anxious easily sometimes.
3. To live a healthier lifestyle. // I suppose many people know that I tend to struggle with this.. Due to the fact that I always have late night sleeps when i have to wake up super early. And it kinda affects my state of condition during day-time. There are a lot of times whereby i get only a few hours of sleep due to last minute rushing of assignments. This is also because of poor time management skills. I am not having the right balance. It's time that I learn to do it properly and right.
4. To control my spending, // Recently I have been spending a lot this year.. I even remembered spending off my $1k salary within a month. And also been spending so unnecessarily.. And every time when I really need it for important things, I lacked the amount to deal with it. And I gotten so many clothes on impulse too which I didn't really like them after once i bought it. (I am really fickle-minded sometimes)
5. To put in even more effort and do even better in my studies.// Although many people think I study a lot because of my "good" GPA, that is not really the truth. The GPA I get doesn't really match to the effort I get. But I don't know how I still managed to get that score. But well, really thank God for that! And I think not many people noticed this but I completely lost my interest to study during a period of time. I was merely just scraping through. I really don't know how my December 2015 Common Test results will be.. But well, I just have to deal with it and continue to catch up.
So these are the few that I really want to fulfill in 2016. (Of course there are other things that I did not state down specifically here.) Life is never a smoothing breeze but we need to hang in there. And I know I will be able to overcome it for God is always there.
May 2016 be another great year for all of you!!
