he said, "'fast away the old year passes!'"

it's gonna be the new year in an hour! time for new year resolutions. this is what i typed last year..

'for this year, 2005, i'm stil pretty undecided about my new year resolutions, but i guess i'll make some anyway now.first, i want to continue to be as good a student as i can be. second, i want to give 2005 to God. i want to help out and contribute as much as i can. despite j1 being a busy year, i think God will give you time to do His work :) right? haha. third is to excel in music, though right now i'm rather lousy :( i'd like to learn as much as i can so i can help out lots in the concert later this year, as well as more songleading next time! :) yup so those are my resolutions, what's yours?'

i began 2005 really satisfied with 2004, cos through God i had managed to achieve 2/4 of my resolutions. though it was 2/4, they were the 2 impt ones! 2005 wasn't a fantastic year. as you can see, my first 2 resolutions were not met. the first, cos of pure sloth and laziness. the second, cos of a lack of S.M.A.R.T.-ness in goal setting (not Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Trackable). the third was pretty okay i suppose, thanks to God!

well, on to new year resolutions 2006 (briefly)!

first (spiritual) - to finish reading the Bible by the end of 2007 (this is a two year goal)
second (spiritual) - to maintain active status in PP youth ministry by attending 3/4 of all meetings and activities, regardless of exam time or not
third (academic) - to finish the year with 3 As at A Levels (i'm dropping hist) and a B3 in GP, average of C and B4 for GP at prelims, average of D and C5 for GP at mid years (this is scary :S) fourth (CCA) - to expand operable range and improve both my light and heavy singing
fifth (personality) - to get in touch with my 'Feeler' side, learn how to relate to a person from an emotional perspective
sixth (family) - be more patient with parents, make more effort to understand them, spend more time with sister before she leaves ;(
seventh (fitness) - get at least a silver for napfa so i can evade early enlistment!

i was reading my previous posts and i realise they (the posts) are really very .. disgusting? it just seems weird reading what i wrote. yeah. very gross. brr.

another 40 minutes!
