On 1st Jan 2008 0000hr, spectacular firworks filled the sky. I looked at them (TV life broadcast) and thought, what a grand beginning of a brand new year.
As we cheer for such eye-blinding explosions, 2007 bid us goodbye, and without a trace, 2008 crept in. 'Happy New Year!' everyone wished to one another.
Yet, what's so 'new' about this New Year?
What's gonna be so different in 2008 that makes it different from 2007?
Still, we dwell on hope. Hope, a positive and optimistic projection of the future, is what drives most of us forward. So me, being one who thinks alot, hopes alot, and fantasize alot, it's not surprising to find myself thinking of my new year resolutions. Whether I'll do it is another matter, but having some resolutions is like having some guide or goal for the year, and theoretically that will mean the year won't be wasted.
So here it goes, my new year resolution:
1. Be a more responsible person. Like what MooiHwa jiejie said, irresponsibility doesn't just reflect badly on thyself, it brings inconvenience to others too. And I thought, not that I'm an irresponsible person but there's still room for improvement and I certainly fall short of my own expectation of the 'ideal me'.
2. Be more forgiving, more compromising, and more understanding. Gosh by saying that it seems like I'm such an UNforgiving, UNcompromising and UN-undstanding person. I declare, I'm NOT. I guess I should learn to give more, let go more, and hold on less. There's no point clutching onto things that are meant to be left alone. At least if I learn to let go more often, I'll feel less of the pain and consequently a happier and lighter (NOT literally) person.
3. Be a sharper fashion radar. OKAYY girls (and boys), don't roll your eyes yet. What are girls without the inner desire to be dressed fancifully and shine like a princess? Therefore before you call me BIMBO again, please. HAHA. So that includes having a better fashion sense, have greater makeup skills, and voila! Fashionista in the making!
I think I have made enough resolutions to keep myself busy enough throughout the year trying to carry out all my resolutions. So I shall not burden myself further by laying out more resolutions (because I know, I'm such a RESPONSIBLE person that I'll make sure I carry out every resolution I made.
Like real).
So people, what are you new year resolutions?
I'm trying to find, and I'm certainly anticipating, things that are installed for 2008 which make 2008 a year different from 2007. Are you curious too?
