Beloved 2008 :
“Full of bittersweetness, tears and joy, i have learnt and grown with wisdom and love”
I have learn how to handle relationships better, learning from mistakes, knowing what is good for me in a greater depth, maturing with wisdom.
It was a great year, one thing which was special was my parents silver anniversary which was amazing and well basically picking up the pieces slowly
Its the year i turned 20, OMG, a number ‘2′ infront of my age, what happens when i am 30 LOL.
I am glad i also made it to 2nd Year Medicine passing my exams.
Besides that, i should make resolutions for the coming year 2009 ( So must do this, because in 2008 i did not really make any as i was a rebellious teenager) LOL.
Hopes for the 2009 & Resolutions
Keep on being the super cheerful girl, because sometimes i think i have lost most of my cheerfulness haha.
Thinking of the future actually scares me alot.
Well, basically i still have awhile to think what I am suppose to do and reflect about. I think its going to be a pretty long list this time.
I will be 21 in year 2009 – The key to freedom … ( What does that exactly mean)
My New Year Resolutions for 2009 :
Resolution 0:
Be Closer to God, Follow his commandments and listen to his gospels.
I have strayed away many times, but He has always called me back to his side. I need to be in prayer more.
- Study Smart, Get good grades in Exams
For this resolution, i think it has been always the first in my list. My Dad always made me and my brothers write resolutions every year and pass it to him to keep and to read out the next year on the new year. I think this is something i might implement on my kids .
I need to learn still how to study smart, being hardworking and a total genius is two different things altogether. Normally its like this, i work alot to get a good grade but somehow it does not turn out the way i want it to be. I did not get an A or either a B and that is really frustrating. I need to find the best way of studying which is good for me!
2. Save money & Find a JOB
“Money Does not grow on trees”
I think in 2008, i learnt the importance of finance and finding a job. I am glad i had work experience in the summer of 2008, learnt alot and saved the money i earned and treated my family with my very first pay check at a Japanese Restaurant. That was amazing to use your hard earn money on people you love.
I need to find a job here somehow, in UK. Have been rejected twice already on my attempt to work in the library and as an Admin Bank. I finally got my national insurance number that is a start
I am scholarship hunting as well, looking for a scholarship to finance my studies and maybe take part in competitions where i can win prizes. My younger bro will be starting uni soon, so i should do something soon really.
3. Learning how to be more outspoken, and not always shy and hide feelings
Man, this is a hard resolution that i have to face. But slowly hopefully i will get there. I normally just shy away from people i dont really know, a hi and bye thats it. I need to learn how to start an effective conversation. And, yeah am going to be a doctor so i need to improve my communication skills greatly.
I need to be more direct basically
4. Relationships, Love , etc
I have come to the decision, that my heart will be open to love, but i am not ready or i would rather want to take it slow in any relationship that comes. I just want to make sure that i am not making a mistake again, this time, will tell my parents about or if i have any relationship with anyone first, gain their approval etc. But restrictions imply that i only can get a BF after i finish studying, but i think thats so i wont get distracted from my studies at all.
But what happens if love comes? or the loneliness of being SINGLE has its effect on me. BUM
5. Catch up with friends in Malaysia
Being here, seems so far away from home and the thing is you miss your friends you want to know especially what is going on in their lifes like really really whats happening. I miss May Shi, Lynn, Kwan, Jun Ai, everyone basically at home, my ex DJ school mates, my Church Friends
I need to write more emails to people i have lost contact with and well, you guys and gals will be getting emails from me
6. Be good, kind, loving and caring
I will definitely continue doing this forever . I think that being who you are makes a difference
7. Exercising, Being Healthy. Eat Healthy but not over exertion
I will go to the gym at least 2 – 3 times a week at least or more and eat less carbs and more veggies. I need to be healthy, practice what you preach. A doctor cant tell someone to be healthy if he/she is not healthy
8. Blogging, writing and pouring out what i am thinking, musings and feelings
I think that this blog is my escape for emptying what i feel and think. A way of destressing and its like the Pensieve (Harry Potter), like putting memories down and storing them in this blog of mine.
And if you want to know me, decipher me well there is a long three year archive since i started this blog 
9. Finding more of my talents, improving my strengths and working on my weakness
I need to explore my artistic side a bit more, and in the summer i plan to go and learn how to SEW, make clothes and try some fashion designing. LOL. Hopefully i can do that, i am quite excited actually.
10. Spend less time on the INTERNET
I seriously have to stress on this resolution, eventhough its the last it is not the least. I need to know how to overcome distractions and temptations. Stop using the internet for unneccessary reasons and using it in a reasonable amount of time.
Well thats all i can think of at the moment
WIshing you all my readers a Happy New Year 2009!!!!!!!! XOXO
