New Year Resolutions
I'm totally not into the mood to write anything intelligent or funny, so if it comes it comes.
The New Year is here officially, but it really is just another day for some people, who still have to drive buses, operate MRTs, stand guard outside condominiums and serve you your New Year's Eve dinner special.
It seems traditional to make New Year resolutions before the New Year arrives. I think I've stopped making them since I was in JC2. At that stage, I would be out counting down with friends. This year, I feel I've outgrown all that partying and joining throngs of strangers in embracing the New Year. Not that I was a party animal to begin with exceptions the one or two special occasions. Even then, I was always a mellow audience in that smoke-infused, alcohol-drugged environment. Now, I much prefer to spend it quietly with people close to my heart. Have a pot luck, or stay-in with a good dvd and a 12 foot Subway sandwich. To be shared.
Since I'm at this, maybe I should list my 2006 resolutions:
1. I will be patient
Too many things have happened to me this year, especially in the later half, that have caused much anger, grief, bitterness, distress, frustration, exasperation, all of which snowballed, creating a period I call Great Depression. Not just me, but it seems that even some of those close to me have less tolerance and shorter tempers. Everyone snaps at one another easily. So did I. Note the past tense. This year will be different.
2. I will have greater willpower
The Great Depression has greatly shaken me up, knocked down the pillars that hold up my willpower and make me want to give up easily. For example when I'm working out. I have difficulty fooling my body into pushing the running speed one notch higher. My timing has slowed horrendously. I'm disgusted.
3. I will forget the past
The Great Depression is over. I repeat -- OVER. The tears shed on the 31 December 2005 will be the last. For such a war-torn zone, only time will repair the damage. No amount of negotiation will solve anything.
4. I will have faith, trust
Believe that a new beginning will hold out, even though it will be a path laden with obstacles and traps to put the collaborated journey to the test. Only faith and trust can bridge the distance in between.
I figured one can't make too many resolutions, otherwise you'd lose track of them before they even get realised.
So here's a cyber toast to all New Year resolutions.
Happy 2006.
