New Year, New Beginning!

A very famous saying indeed, but how true is it? Well going by my personal experience I have to say that implementing this saying into my daily life is harder I would have ever wondered. Who would have thought that such a simple task such as “packing your bag before you sleep every night” could seem mammoth when it comes to putting it into daily practice and constantly battling that every so dreaded fatigue.

Why bother thinking about bigger goals in life when the small one’s don’t even work out. Well that’s a problem I guess we all face. But nevertheless, the goals must exist!

So what are my goals for the coming year? Well first at foremost at the zenith of probably every Junior College student would be to excel in the A-Level Examination. No easy feat by any circumstances but I’m sure that if I step my work load, the prospect may not be so winsome after all.

Secondly, in line with Temasek’s goal of developing all round students, something which I have been propaganda with, I aim to well in my two PDPs. Namely Students’ Council and Bowling. Bowling in particular has been very challenging for me given that I am constantly being faced or surrounded by people who have been bowling for years before I even knew what the sport was all about. Given my “noobess” of my abilities, there has been immense self created pressure on myself to perform up to expectations of the team. Not helping too is the constant pressure of the Students’ Council and being part of the bowling executive committee which have and are going to take up considerable possible study times.

Thirdly, I hope to pass my driving test as well as improve in my musical interest (drums and piano). Having done music for nearly 4 years in my secondary school, taking a sabbatical for the sake of studies is akin to stopping my oxygen supply. Music is what keeps me going. It’s a place I vent my emotions on. Be it happy or sad, music gives me a chance to express how I feel when i want it. The adrenaline of mastering a piece or getting coordination on the drums right is something i cannot explain in words.

A New Year brings new hope and new dreams. Every time i look back at the year and reflect, an air of satisfaction of being to complete a year of disappointments surrounds me and it I guess that what keeps me going. I’ve learnt in my short 18 years that life was never meant to be a bunch of roses. Instead the challenges are there for a reason and it only serves to make me stronger. Granted that I’ve fallen several times but as a whole, i dare say that i was stronger then I use to be a year ago. Junior College has stretched my stress tolerance to a level i never thought was attainable and therefore the saying “everything happens for a reason” has been realised by Sean’s positive dying soul.

Determination! The feeling I ever so yearn for is beginning to ingrain itself in me and I hope it applies to all subjects.

OMG it's been ages since i wrote something like that.
