Reflections & Resolutions

I've come to learn a lot, experienced and tried many new things this year, like getting to work after O's, and getting to serve in church as the youngest pianist, getting into an awesome cca like Salvo, and knowing great people.

I also got involved in something, and it didn't turn out to be how I expected it would be. Things were so different. But I learnt not to take things for granted, especially people around you, and I learnt to appreciate and treasure people around me more. Never wait till they're gone then you regret the things that you wanted to tell them, but never got the chance to, like what I wanted to tell my uncle before he left for somewhere safe, but I never got the chance to..
I also learnt that some things aren't always how they seem on the surface, and sometimes, it's not as simple as you think.

This thing kind of affected me for quite some time, but during this period at different points of time, there were people there for me. People like my mum, Kelvin, CharmaineK., Marshall, Li Yen, Cheryl, Geraldine. Maybe you all don't know how you've helped me, but you did it in ways I guess only I could see and feel. They were my strength when I was weak.
Though to some of those mentioned above, maybe we might not be as close as before now, or maybe we are still as close as before, nonetheless, these are those who I'm truly thankful and grateful for, and they were there when I needed someone the most. I'm really really glad that I've met them. Thank you ever so much. (:

However, there were nice things that happened to me too, during this year.
Like getting to go on a trip to Vietnam, experiencing range shooting, carrying a python, touching bees, sitting on the back of a horse etc. I never would have dreamt that I could have the chance to do all these things, but I did, and I liked them.
I've also got a camera for Christmas this year, and this was one of the nicest things that happened to me. (:
I'm lucky to have such parents, though sometimes they are strict with me and don't allow me to reach home any later than 12, or even stay out, and I know I complain about this alot, but I understand that they're doing this for my own good.

Now for resolutions - it's easy to make them, but difficult to follow!
Haha.

1. Don't spend unnecessarily.
- Seriously, I realised I've been spending quite a lot ever since I entered TP, and I even shocked myself to know I've spent so much. Time to cut down!

2009 holds so much memories - both good and bad, and all these are memories that I'll really treasure and keep in my heart for always, especially those happy ones.
Now looking back on how things was, the good and bad times that I've had makes it seem rather sad that so much has changed within a short year, and I've grown to be more independent and mature too.
Indeed, 2009 has been one of the most eventful years spent out of the 17 years of my life, and it was a good one. May 2010 be a better year for me, and for everyone too. (:

so there's my long long post of reflections and resolutions!
haahaha.
just wanted to jot it down before I forget what I want to write.
alright bye! (:
