First post of 2014!
Was clearing out photos on my phone cos I have less than 1gb of storage left and my phone actually didn't let me take photos cos I ran out of space ._.
Sis-in-law saw lots of photos of yx and I, and she was wondering how come I didn't delete them cos if it was her she would have deleted all of them. Idk as well, I guess it's just a beautiful part of my life I am very thankful for, and those are the living proof of those memories. It's strange what a new year does to you.. A few days ago, I would have thought that 2013 was a dreadful year, but a few days later and a few life-changing choices I made, it's almost as though I've been given a fresh start in life. Most of the photos in my phone were taken in 2013 and many of them have some link to yx somehow (I spent most of 2013 with him), but when I browsed through the photos, they just made me smile and think of the times I was blessed with in 2013.
As cliche as it sounds, I think 2014 will be a better year for me :) It may not be the best year, but it will certainly be a wonderful year. We choose to be the person we want to be. I hate being sedentary and having nothing to do in my life, that's why 2013 was pretty miserable and I'm really glad my start of 2014 was so eventful. I already got it off a good start in my first week, and I'm looking forward to the start of school!
To sum my first week up:
1. Spent the first few hours of 2014 with Ah Hua, which is definitely a great way to spend anyone's time :)
2. Recce trip with facils and members of the i-Care Network left me with a serious case of wanderlust... But it's a great experience to be able to meet up with total strangers and hear their stories! Like Eurona said, the people who are interested in the event probably are those who have had experience with going overseas and taking part in hosting events, and it's good to hear for them!
3. Project Sparkle yesterday - it's just, phenomenal, I don't actually know what was it that made me enjoy it so much yesterday. Must be the company, yeah it's the company definitely! It's like the peeps there were not judgemental at all; being with them and at the briefing and stuff just made me so full of hope. And I'm guessing they must be pretty used to opening up to people regularly, and I just found talking to them really easy. WeeKeong and Yvonne especially were so funny and joyful people, I felt really warm with the whole bunch of them!! Was glad to be able to help out, but then again I feel that these kinds of things we need to sustain. Hopefully I'll be able to do something like this again soon!
4. Sunday out with my big bro and my third bro, and their significant others (baby Gaius included!)
Soooo fun! Even though in the end I didn't manage to swim again cos it rained/drizzled, cos I was lazy, cos sleep got the better of me, it was incredibly enjoyable! I do feel a bit bad I haven't had dinner with my dad for 2 days straight, but ah well. I'll make up for it tomorrow I guess.
Aaaaand it's time for New Year Resolutions! Yup saw the video that said 80% of resolutions fail, so I shan't bother coming up with stupid resolutions like exercise more, eat clean and stop procrastinate so much. I've made those resolutions for as long as I start being more self-aware, and yes they have failed every year. So this year, I've come up with stuff that's more um, like a way of thinking and kinda like life mottos instead of actual actions (except for the last one).
1. Give whatever we receive, like the River of Jordan and not the Dead Sea, and be one who is willing to share.
2. Learn to enjoy the process instead of be too concerned about the results. - A big reason why i decided to go for env studies because I've decided that it's what I am passionate with. I see people who didn't do so well in terms of results but their lives are just so much more fulfilling than mine. My conclusion: I've been blessed with good grades but I think I'm not using them to my advantage.. Instead letting grades climb all over my head and making me sad when I really shouldn't be. Happiness is relative, but grades shouldn't be obsessed over.
3. Be thankful for what I have and am able to go through but don't stop venturing into the unknown and searching for new experiences and meeting new people.
Lastly, drink more water :P
