First of all, a couple of major things happened this year.
Academically,
I scored a couple of D7s this year, (which for those of you not in the Singapore Secondary School grading system, D7 means that I failed that subject).
Well, I learnt from my mistake, and bounced back, and managed to pass those in the end.
I worked hard and got into the stream of my dreams. I'll admit that I was hesitating between two of my favourite subjects, and I chose THE ONE, eventually. Even though I am happy with the choice I made, I'll never stop wondering what would have happened if I chose the other.
Generally in life,
I lost 3 of my closest relatives within a period of 3 years, 2 of them this year. Those who do know me on a personal level, you will know who I'm talking about. Those of you who only know me as the writer of this not-regularly-updated blog, I'm sorry, but I really am not planning to go into the details. I am not planning to, and not very willing to.
But yet, during the periods of grieve, I gained. I gained experience. I became more independent, and reinforced my unwillingness to break down in public. I reconnected with my cousins, some of whom I have lost connected with for the longest time. Some, I meet regularly, but of whom I got to know better.
In this space,
Since I started, I tried starting 2 series, Yay Or Nay? and Your Daily Motivation.
Both I did not continue with after a while, I regret to say. I had high hopes of myself, and what I would do, writing everyday, a little something for you guys to look forward to regularly. But I can't. And I am sorry.
Life keeps giving me surprise plans, and that's why I can't plan out my schedule properly. That said, I am to be blamed too. I'm too lazy in nature to keep up with a daily, or even weekly series. Therefore, I may try again next year, but maybe not. I don't know. I guess I will just have to go with the flow.
Now, for the most cliche part of all "In A Nutshell" posts, my goals and plans.
1. I want to spend more time with my family. The year has made me realised the importance of not taking them for granted, and to strive to spend as much time as possible with them.
2. Being in a foundation building year, I really want to do well in my studies.
I guess, at the end of the day, it really does matter what you do, when you do.
With that, sorry for the SUPER late post, and I hope you enjoyed this.
Peacing Out,
