Hello people of the internet!
Yes, I know, the last post dated back to January 2013. It has been more than a year since I've last updated. I think 2013 was just not a good year for me. My motivation to do anything was at an all-time low and I barely accomplished anything. But, this year! Everything is going to change! I've finally graduated from secondary school and am now entering a new phase in my life: Junior College. It is going to be an entirely clean slate for me....actually, not so much a clean slate since I'm in an IP school but you get the idea.
Before, I get all gung-ho about what I am going to accomplish in 2014, I would just like to reflect back on my secondary school years (cue nostalgic music). It really seemed like a short time ago that I'd just entered secondary school and was egg-cited that I was finally going to be a teenager (OMGZ, I AM 13!!!!1!!) and thought that I was all mature and stuff. Back then, I did so many things that I thought seemed mature but in actuality, was pretty stupid and immature. But then, I also thought about how 4 years was such a long time and wanted to do so many things in secondary school.
I was so lucky to get into an IP school that gave us so many opportunities to accomplish so much and yet, I only did the bare minimum; I did not even exert myself in the least bit. Even so, I still feel very grateful that the school still gave me an opportunity to truly have a holistic education. I also feel blessed that I had such amazing seniors and juniors and made such great friends whom I know will always have my back no matter what. In short, I am very very grateful that I was accepted into such a great school and regretful that I did not maximise my opportunities to accomplish anything.
And just like that, 4 years flew by and I am going to be starting JC soon. I had the chance to find out if I was really made for the Sciences and failed the compatibility test and so, have decided to take Humanities in JC. I felt such a sense of release when I received my subject combination and saw that I'll be doing Humanities. No more struggling over the Sciences! I can finally concentrate on what I truly love.
Actually, it has come as quite a surprise that I've decided to continue on with my CCA in JC. Back in July, when I finally stopped, I told myself that I had enough of Basketball and that I am not going to continue. I did not even go for holiday trainings. But here I am, still going for trainings even when nearly the rest of my batch decided to drop the CCA. I am not exactly sure why I am continuing with the CCA, but with every training I go for, I can feel the rekindling of a passion that had been dissipating over 4 years. Trainings are actually tougher, but I feel I should stick it out to the end :)
Anyway, I've come up with a list of goals to accomplish in 2014, here goes:
1. Cut down time spent on the Net (still unsuccessful)
2. WRITE MOAR
3. Give my all in bball
4. Study like there's no tomorrow
5. Update regularly ;)
Okay that's all.
kthxbai :D
