Happy New Year
Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to all!
Hope you had lots of feasting and presents and blessings!
For me, it was a little bit tough as I've just been allocated a new cell group. And most of the celebrations are together with my new cell. I'm not really close to them yet, and I sometimes wish I was celebrating with my other cell group. I mean its a different feeling to be celebrating with new friends, and with people you already know for very long. I'm trying my best to overcome this..... as I'm not a very talkative nor "I" person. I keep more to myself and I think my strenght lies in ideas and thoughts rather than expressions. Maybe you could classify me as a poet. Haha o well anyway....if any of you are reading this...I ask for your humble guidance that I can blend into the cell soon...
Anyway I wanted to do a little review of what my resolutions were in 2009, and its quite dishearting how the year turned out to be...from what I expected...
This is what I blogged in January 2009
1) I will reply SMS ASAP and answer my phone, or return missed calls.
- Ok I think I improved in this area towards the end of the year, but still, sometimes I REALLY dont know that my phone is ringing, regardless of what phone I use, must be my baggy pants. I'm deeply sorry for all the trouble I've caused by still not replying and answering but next year I will be more responsive!
2) I will learn to speak louder and with more confidence, looking at the person I talk to as a sign of respect
- Again this is still not improved. And I think it will be my resolution again for 2010. Sometimes I just sink into ultimate "dont feel like talking mood" And my voice is still rather soft. O well, there's still next year...
3) I must lose weight and be 63kg
- This is a grand failure. The lowest I went was 68kg, then I went to Taiwan, ate like crazy (but its worth it ) and never been able to reduce it since, I went up to 76KG and now am 74KG, o man o man!!! next year!
4) I must get at least SILVER for IPPT
- Another epic failure, I failed and went for RT, but RT was quite fun as it was free training and they pay you $10 per session! I'll go RT again next year..
5) Be on the DEAN'S List for this upcoming semester
- My first semester I wasn't on the dean's list but I must say I did improve, I had one A+ A- B B C(S) C(S) the S means I optioned to Pass/Fail it so it dosen matter. I got my 2nd A+ also! haha. My 2nd sem was horrible, if you all know what happened...
6) Be more sociable and take the effort to go out with friends as to make an effort to maintain friendships
- Ok for W133 this was quite a good achievement. New cell I'm still trying to blend in. Ya, other friends some bad things happened but we managed to patch up so I think this goal is more or less achieved! Yippee! But next year I must widen my social circle! 1 out of 6 achieved so far....
7) Maintain punctuality
- Again another epic failure, sometimes I do come early, but its mostly b'coz I had other plans before that and hence came super early. I'm also ashamed to say sometimes I've been 1 hour late... and just recently, 1 1/2 hours late! O man Apologize again....
8) Have regular prayer conferences, participate in prayer meetings
Not really so for prayer conferences, but prayer meetings I have been quite active! So I think I'm give myself a pass for this! 2 out of 8 goals Achieved!
9) Start on Bible Study
- This is also a pass! I have more or less finished Victorious Living and have more or less been attending Bible study! 3 out of 9 goals Achieved!
10) Pray everyday
- I didn't really pray everyday, it was more like when I feel like it, or when there's daily prayer meeting. Next year next year!
11) Move myself to be able to participate in ministry
- Ad Hoc ministries only, I did join POS and helped out in Blood donation and some other things. But I've yet to find a full time ministry, which I'm considering Children's Church actually. This will be fulfilled next year in Bible School!
12) EMERGE conference Top 3 in 10km Marathon
- Voided, there's no EMERGE competition this year haha! maybe I'll try to aim for something in ASIA Conference next year!
13) Bowling : adverage 150 , and defeat my long time rival Terry
- I didn't really bowl much this year. But I did defeat Terry hahaha! but I scored a 0 once, it was an extremely low point of my bowling career. O well. I dont think I'll be bowling much next year as well. I think I can void this
14) Basketball: Defeat my long time rival Ji en
- Again didn't really play much basketball. In fact I think I didn't play with Ji En at all for this year!, but I'm slowly picking up on this... waiting for him to be free, which either it rains or me or him has something on!!!
15) FINISH the Bible
- I didn't even finish one book sadly.... next year!
16) Update my blog regularly
- You all can judge this for yourselves haha
17) Be more understanding and spend more time with my family
- I would say this is achieved, I did go out with them and we even had a family trip to Desaru ! 3 out of 17 goals achieved!
18) Maintain a neat and tidy room
- Nothing to say
19) Eat fruits everyday/ drink more water
- Again it only happened for a brief period, after that I just lost control....next year next year! this must CHANGE!!!!!!!!!! 8 glasses a day!
20) Maintain POSITIVE thinking and the COURAGE to win life's battles
- Finally, the last goal. I would say sometimes I did have positive thoughts but my negetive thoughts still outweigh my positive thoughts. I did complete POS, my first SEM, did a documentary, and performed in the Thai New Year Concert. Also got a job at the IRO part time and went to Taiwan for a model united nations were some of the positives.......the negetives......dropped out of honours (ultimate negetive), made a testimony I didn't fulfill... absented myself from cell and events for no reason. And some other things which I dont remember which is good!, yea
Thanks for reading, I have 3 out of 20 goals achieved. Next year my aim shall be at least 10 out of 20, and I will do those 20 goals soon~!
Till then, thanks for reading, I hope this has inspired you to do your own goals and visions for 2010!
