The Year Is Ending

Time really flies and I guess you can tell from my lack of posting, that my resolutions are not really progressing that well.

But that is not to say that I have not made efforts into fulfilling those resolutions.

I've made a weight gain of perhaps 1-2kg, which hopefully are all muscles and not fat.

I've attended a muay thai free trial and I am quite determined to start the lessons before November ends and this is in spite of the hefty $250 lesson fees.

I've forgotten what little I have learnt on playing the guitar. I seriously suspect that I have no talent for musical instruments and I guess that kinda ended my far-fetch dreams of joining a band.

My spoken english was no better despite great efforts spent emoting to english mtvs which led me to suspect that this is not a really good way to improve my english.

The nearest of which I have gone to the swimming pool is to the food stall at CCK stadium. I still cannot swim to save my life.

Truth to tell though, I am coming to the realization that I could not possibly complete all the resolutions that I've set due to time, money and willpower constraints, therefore, I will just keep an open mind on learning new things and just keep learning whatever I can.

I read somewhere that life would have been more smooth sailing if one is less self conscious and I realize that many times, I care too much about how others see me to truly enjoy what I am doing. Its like when you are singing in the KTV and you refrain from screaming out when singing (even though you really feel like doing so) because you are afraid to look stupid when you go out of tune or some shit like that.

I think it will be stupid to live my life not daring to do something that I might enjoy just becuase it might make me look uncool.

So, in an attempt to make myself less self conscious, I am putting myself into situations in which I will look stupid. This is why I have signed up for a Jazz introduction dance class even though I am born with two left foot.

My last resolution for the year. To be able to laugh at myself when others are laughing at me :)

I will have to give up my dark, cool and brooding image to do that though, hahahaha.

P.S. As usual, the entry contains a lot of crap from me and anyone who might take offense from it should treat this post as nonsensical ramblings.

New Year Resolutions

I know I've said it before, but it is really getting harder and harder to blog, for nothing interesting is happening in my life and from what I noticed, most of my friends are not blogging much anymore, maybe because people our age are mostly too busy to blog (yeah right).

So, in a bid to save my poor dying blog I've decided to put down my resolutions for the year.

I know its a little late for new year resolutions and I am a little disadvantaged here, considering that it is now March and I have only 3/4 of the year to follow up with my resolutions.

But anyways here's my resolutions for the year:
1) Gain at least 3kg weight (Muscles, not Fat)
2) Learn Muay Thai
3) Learn the Guitar
4) Improve my spoken English
5) Improve on my swimming so that I can at least swim 1 lap =.=
6) Go for Diving lessons -if- I can manage to improve on my swimming
7) Blog at least once per week about my resolutions so that I am at least abit motivated to carry them out. This is call having a PLAN... I think....

Now I will have to make sure that there are at least some friends reading my near dead blog just so they can nag at me when I am too lazy to carry out any of the resolutions.

===================================================================

Besides boring you people with my 'lofty' aspirations for the year, I would also like to recommend Junjie's blog to everyone who is still reading my boring blog.

Junjie was one of my fellow sergeant while I was serving my NS. My impression of him is someone who always try to stick to his values in life and a person who always try to give his best in whatever he is doing. He is also very friendly and hardworking but his most notable trait is his honesty which is evident in this very truthful post about me, hahaha.

But seriously, unlike me, Junjie is someone who fills his time with interesting hobbies such as hiking, photography, fishing, wushu (i think) and most recently latin dancing.

What I really admire about Junjie though, is his can-do spirit. Once he decided to do something, he will just go ahead and do it, which again is very unlike me who can spend like forever procrastinating.

P.S. I think Junjie's blog might be in hibernation, seems like he have not updated his blog for a month now.

===================================================================

I bought her a present for her birthday and gave it to her nonchalently.

I also got her a charm, which I hope will be of some help... despite the fact that I am an atheist who isn't supposed to believe superstitious shit like that.


But anyways, I've been doing some thinking lately.

Maybe liking someone does'nt necessary mean that you have to be together.

Maybe liking someone is just wanting the best for her.

Maybe I am just a wimp.

Most probably though, the best thing for her isn't me and so that's why I will be keeping my distance.

Enough of this emo shit already.

Go watch some Peter Chao and
chao outside mutherfukers.


P.S. I think I am slowly getting my nonsense back. So anything that might be insulting/offensive to anyone should be treated, as always, the nonsensical ramblings of the author.
