Adieu, adieu

This post was meant to be done before 2007 was here, but alas due to unforeseen circumstances it was delayed. Quite abit. So here I am at 10:36pm on the first of January reflecting abit on how the past year was for me.

Personally, 2006 was a very transitional year, and a year that forced alot more upon me than I was willing or ready to take. A few highs (and lows):

1) Transferring from rugby to CO. A rather painful decision I realize now that I had to make. I don't think many of you know this, but ever since sec one when I first joined rugby my mum has been pressurizing me to quit. I endured it for 2 years, before April this year when I finally gave in. And yes today now at this moment I can see the benefits, as my skin has been in wonderful condition the past 2 months. But still I wonder if I could go back in time; would I have made the same decision, and spared myself the jeers, animosity, sniggers behind the back? But it's over, and like it or not here I am today. But thank God that my entry into CO was smooth, I quickly found a place and I must say I'm quite happy with the way things are going in CO at the moment. I still think the concert rocked. Well, it could have been worse. At the moment I only know of one person from rugby who has more or less openly declared that he can't stand me. But I'll live =)

2) Schoolwork. For the whole of the first semester I found myself unable to cope, and subsequently did rather badly. But I'd like to think that I woke up after the June hols, and started to buck up. I'm alot more satisfied with my performance in semester 2 (although sem 1 continued to pull me down). But I know that I can still improve much further for my sciences. Graar.

3) Europe Trip! Haha it was quite an experience going out with the school. Abit of an eye-opener in more ways than one. But even though we spent altogether too much time on the bus I have to say that I enjoyed it lah. Even if Stan and Wang think otherwise lol.

4) 3P! Hahaha what a crazy bunch of people you all are. Enjoyed myself in the class, heh but I still think that we're too loud. Fortunately no O's otherwise I think we'll all die -_- But I guess that's our unique class spirit right! (Although its this very same thing that I think got us all the strict teachers for 2007. -facepalm-) Here's to another great year ahead; may we all grow closer and stronger as a class!

5) PSL. Was really really proud to be chosen. Hope that I can make my mark next year, and bring forth a great s1 batch of 2007. Still really really nervous though.

6) Forged alot of new friendships, and got to know alot of people better! =)

7)VBC '06! Hahaha I had so much fun there. Can't wait to go back next year!

8) Grown back closer to the Lord. I've gone through most of this year stumbling through, pretending I could get by without Him. But I've been humbled before Him in this past month. How naive; the only reason I got through this whole year was God. Only through His grace did I manage to make it. Bless the Lord my God! =))




Now for my set of New Year Resolutions That Arrive Late!

1) Do a daily QT and draw closer to God! (Impt!)
2) Do well for Bayley as Aesthetics Director

4) Play less games
5) Do well for CO
6) Mature!
7) Do well for O's!
8) Be a better friend
9) Be more outgoing
10) Draw closer to God!

Yup. It's a whole new year ahead. Let's make the most of it, mm?
