The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.~ G.K. Chesterton ~
Yet again, 2010 is coming to a close in an hour's time. This year has been a very eventful one. I have completed my university education, stepped into the working world, made new colleagues, got re-acquainted with old friends, and is still trying to find a healthy balance between work and personal life.
Having to look back upon 2010, the event I probably miss the most is schooling - the acquisition of knowledge, the efforts and hours put into organising conferences, the bond built among the rebels, and the physical space of the beautiful and conducive school. I miss being a student. Growing up is sure hard to do - exciting yet scary at the same time. Speaking of growing up, I'll be turning 24 next year. Oh gosh, time sure flies! It is no wonder I often hear others mention that once we turn 21, the years just zoom past without us realising. So true.
With the dawning of another new year, I hope to fulfill the following:
1) Be happier, laugh and smile more.
2) Eat healthily, get restful sleep and exercise regularly.
3) Spend more time with my loved ones.
4) Be more tolerant of all mankind.
5) Read more books.
6) Write leisurely.
With these resolutions, it looks like I'll be having a busy year ahead fulfilling them all. So it is time I stop procrastinating, push those negative thoughts out of my mind (like what S always says), and begin to take control of my life. Anyway, what better time it is to fulfill my goals and dreams than now? ;)
Come what may 2011. I am ready. :)

In the midst of my busy schedule, I want more than anything else now to wind down by the beach on the breakwater with a good friend over a cup of bubble tea, where we will chat about anything under the sun and watch the day turn into night peacefully. :)

And it all boils down to my favourite quote again:
"The minute you think of giving up, think of the reason why you held on for so long."

30 Second Speech by Bryan Dyson - Former CEO of Coca Cola "Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the
air. They are Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're
keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand that Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will
bounce back. But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit-
are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably
scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never
be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.
Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family,friends & have proper rest."
On another note, I realised I'm not even halfway through the book DC gave me for Christmas last year ! I'm such a slow-poke. I need to get it finished soon, hopefully before the year ends.

I'm up until my breaking point, so much so that I begin to question if all of these effort is worth it afterall? Is this what living is about? Is this how I want to live my life? Am i wasting my life away by torturing my soul, heart, and mind?
It has really been very exhausting for the past 9 months. I'm so numb to work and my routined life that I don't seem to find that zest for life anymore. It's just wake up --> go to work --> work non-stop --> go home --> sleep.
I'm sick of all these. I WANT a break badly.
