today is the last day of 2009 and its time i did some reflections of this past year and plans for the future year to come in less than 2010. i still can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that 2009 is gone cause it seems to have past by so very fast, and soon, i will be a year older with more responsibilities and worries to take on.
here goes the reflections of this year:
it has been a pretty weird year but i am glad to be more exposed to the different kinds of cip activities: toilet washing, house cleaning, performing for the elderly, house visitation, food distribution, helping at events, flag days etc.
i would like to thank Rebbecca for giving me so many opportunities to better understanding the need for serving the community and for trusting me when i asked to plan an orphan camp even though it wasn't successful in the end.
i would like to thank weiliang, hsiaotien, raimie, jerian and jiajin for all the happy times we shared during cip and the bag of laughs we shared during those times. i still remember the day when we had to do weird exercises and stretching for the old people and mr chua kah seng videotaped us>< he was there with 4f.it was kind of embarrassing for us. and the time we wnet to punggol for the house cleaning and weiliang, jiajin and i took ages to wash the toilet(can't believe it took 3 persons about an hour to wash the loo!) while the rest cleaned the rest of the house. yeah those times were mega cool.
i would also like to thank the people who have helped out greatly with the planning with the orphans camp. Though it was not successful this year, we could always try again next year since we are better prepared. The people i would like to specifically thank the most are francis, jerome and jieru who are the ones who have always stood there by me, assisting me in each and every way.if i didn't remember wrongly, francis called me and said that he was nervous to call the orphanages. i totally can comprehend that feeling, i was feeling that same kind if worries when i called them. Thankyou jerome and jieru for working hard to help in the compilation of the proposal i know that took ages. thankyou gary for writing the letter to ask for the campsite.and thankyou jerome francis and jieru for going down to pasir ris with me to check out the area. and lastly but nonetheless thankyou to all those who signed up voluntarily for the camp and came for the planning sessions: kristalynn, darrenyang, teckchye, francis, julia, lois, jerome, jieru, likai. i think there are still other more volunteers but i will list all that i can remember, sorry if i left out anyone: shawn sim, zisiang, eugene, kimberly, livia, amanda, kaixin, oonhim, ernchuen, felicia, ho ching, rachel, hueychyi, chuan rui, chinhong, chengyu, brandon pee, charmaine, and joshua tay.
thankyou all and im sorry i let you all down by failing to make this camp a success, but i will try hard next year, i really will.
okay enough about cip, lets move on to studies
the first half of the year was pretty good and passed pretty fast,
now thinking back i realised i was not really affected by msn, smses etc- i don't know how i pulled through. the second half of the year was bad, i got hooked onto msn, facebook and smses, being unable to curb temptaion even during eoys. i guess i kind of wasted the second half of this year:(
plus next year, i must take notes to stop doing my paper so slowly, thinking i got an abundance of time.
and i should no longer sleep in class, like hey i don't sleep in class on purpose but sometimes i get too sleepy without being able to help it:(haha whoever is my partner next year, please pinch me when i fall asleep again.oh yes, and i should seriously stop the "heck care, wait until exams then come and say" attitude before i start worrying before the exams thingy and i can't seem to understand anything.haha.
now come to cca,
it has been an eventful year, yeah
the matches like ashaway, weekimwee and that weird competition which i dont know the name has allowed me to make friends with other school people, including some seriously strange people. but it was cool(:im glad they mix guys and girls matches at these competitions cause its pretty thrilling to watch guys matches, i guess they tend to be more exciting, the smashes are sharper, the formation better, the returns stronger.
next i would come to basically life
it was okay this year, and like i mentioned above, i wasted too much time on unimportant stuff
i guess i feel lost and lonely in class this year, probably i can't really find the chemistry with someone that well. been missing my old friends and stuff like that. i guess its kind of like i can't find someone who has the same personality as me. its weird, but i will go on finding.
resolutions for the coming year:
1) to learn to speak eloquently and clearly without vulgarities and singlish
2) to stop bitching and ranting, life's short so i should be content
3) to get my mind off the unimportant vices of life: like smses, facebook and msn, telly too!
4)to be productive in different ways, work cca and life
5) to fully understand the joy in serving the community
6) get rid of the heck care attitude and sleep earlier to prevent snoozing in class
7) start understanding what the teacher is teaching during lessons so i won't screw up any more tests
8) start being me again and not my conception of who people want me to be
9) focus on work and get a gpa that im content with, im not going to say what gpa it will be f0r i have to yet to see the yr4 standard. it does not matter what the gpa is any longer, as long as i did my best(;
