This is something of a personal nature....

Someone urged me to have some new year's resolutions. Well....here they are. Finally I have mustered the courage that is always hidden inside a closet of myself to think of some stupid resolutions. (Oh yeah...all these resolutions came at the spur of the moment i.e. when I was typing the blog entry...)

1. I will have to reduce the quality and length and frequency of emitting foul words out of this single orifice which we are all enabled to speak out of. Which will make me eventually a new person but alas, I am not sure how long I can last out there. Life is a cruel world full of cursing people (one of them is me...sadly).
2. Shall I work harder in my studies?? Does a question make it to the new year resolution list? No matter the answer, I will certainly work harder. I think.
3. When I was a little less older and maturer, all I could think of was myself and what can I do to make my day a less boring day. Selfish stuff like that. Now, I want to brighten up other people's day even though I feel down (which I do occasionally feel) so that in turn, I can make impacts in other lives. Not just mine. (That's our John....sooo selfless!!! Yeah right.)
4. After the previous resolution, I also resolve not to praise myself too often even though it is just to make people laugh at my peacock-esque, narcissistic and exaggerated nature. 'Coz, often, the line between making people laugh and offending people in my case often gets blurred as some people choose not to see humour as it is but distort the facts. Thus...less self praise altogether. Shut me up next time.
5. I will make more friends and acquaintances during my final year of tenure in Sekolah Sri Garden as there are still some people i do not know very well. I met this girl during the last few weeks of school and I had really liked to talk to her longer and stuff but the holidays were already pouncing upon us all. Imagine, I did not even know she had the capabilities to talk like THAT before but now I am regrettably saddened by the fact that there are many other people like her in school that I will never know of...sob!!! Oh just damn that resolution. I will look for more friends. selectively of course. if I do not like you or feel difficult to communicate with you, so sorry.
6. Ok. There will be loads of international programmes next year and...well. Hopefully I get to join one or two. Hopefully two. The time to shine overseas!! Yes! (well, what he actually did in America was getting embarassed by the 2 American girls in the plane. Damn flirters. Never will I get caught again. Which brings me to my next resolution)
7. Is flirting a hobby of mine? Have I ever gotten ensnared in this immoral activity? Ok...immoral sounds like it was a mortal sin. I mean, flirting is a waste of time and emotions (unless u have someone special. Then again, what the heck) Resolution: Do not flirt too much.
Haha, this is something out of Animal Farm when Squealer altered the previous 7 Commandments of Animalism i.e. Napoleon cheated his fellow animals and the farm was restored to its old ways i.e. when Jones was in charge.

Seven is the magic number!! Actually, it's not but I have run out of ideas.
