Looking back, Looking forth

Yeah so 2010 has come to an end, and what can I say about this year? Once again, there are some frustrating moments, some great moments and many so-so days. But I would say that this year has been overall a fulfilling year, most of the things that I wanted came through, there are some unexpected joys, some unexpected disappointments, but hey, what would life be without some regrets here and there eh? I think I learnt from the lessons of 2009 and I told myself that this year is the year where I'll try not to screw up, and even when I did, I fix the holds quickly, so for that I'm rather proud of myself.

Highlights of the year (in no order of importance)
- The entire year had a significantly less share of disappointments, and I think that has been wonderful.
- An emotionally satisfying conclusion to my favourite tv series LOST
- I'd lost some weight and is now in the healthy range!
- Unexpectedly getting my best academic results since Secondary One!
- My sister's friend introduced me to very cheap karaoke, and now I have one more spot of joy in my life!
- A revamp of my CCA brought new joys rebooted and almost totally rebooted RICO, giving us a lot of new energy, new goals and targets. And even better, very good EXCO members and section with great working dynamics, and of all the years, I'm really lucky to be working with them. Of course, the year-end concert is a success, and a total contrast to last year's disaster.
- CelloBass Section got an ensemble piece for the concert, and we didn't screw up nearly as much as we thought we would!
- Really awesome friends that I never really came to appreciate much until this year, that helped make every day of school life full of meaning and colour.

Lowlights of the Year
- Let's just say not doing well for NAPFA. It's a shame, really.
- Always having the feeling that I haven't done enough for my CCA, but hey, you win some, you lose some.
- Television shows and music really kinda sucked this year, with Glee having some of the most atrocious storylines on tv, after being so wonderful.
- Didn't get to fully immerse myself in all the craziness of school life, indulging in my own world.

So now, to the New Year Resolutions (in no particular order, as always).
- I want to develop a killer-instinct, the motivation to do what I set out to do without fear! No more "hidden" Kai Cong!
- Havingmy own unique style.
- Hang out more with people, step up, be more bold and let myself be heard.
- Not slacking and immediately start studying for A levels, not leaving anything to chance.
- I'm gonna get good results for NAPFA!

NEW YEAR WISHES
1. As always I hope that everyone that I care, my family, relatives, friends, and friendly accquaintances lead healthy and happy lives.
2. My academics can always be "under control" and I will get my desirable grades. Hopefully I will not lose sight of my end targets and will be able to focus.
3. I can finally get good NAPFA grades. After this year's disappointment, I'm yearning for much better.
4. More fun stuff to do, and more karaoke!
5. I really hope that I am able to find a CCA that I like whether it's CO or any other CCA. I haven't yet decided but I really want to find something I can like.
6. I will make a lot more friends and be happy.
7. More chances to go overseas and see the world.
8. More good music and good shows that are actually creative, popular, watchable and likeable.
9. I hope that my favourites from competition shows will win, as always.
10. A more colourful year with less missed opportunities and more risks rewarded.

So I guess that's it, another year has just about ended, and all the best to all of you!
