It's December 30th and I'm still Resolution-less.

Who invented New Year's Resolution? Seriously. It's just a way for you to create this one BIG, UNREALISTIC goal, in which you would NOT achieve so that you can create a new one next year. Not just that, by the end of the year, we'd feel horrible about ourselves not being able to keep our own promises and at the end of the day (or year in this case), we would just disregard whatever motivation we have had for that 364 days so we could spend that one last day writing (either on paper or making mental notes) on what we are suppose to achieve next year.

But then again, I'm a sucker for cliches so I'm just going to make a list of the impossible things I know I can't get to. So if I fail to do so, I won't be so bummed out! It's a perfect plan! Here we go.

• Buy a double storey house. I prefer a corner lot.
• Change my job. Get something that pays me double than what I'm paid now.
• Get married. My boyfriend coming home next year and us settling down in US? Now that's a dream Really.
• Let go of all those things that are pulling me back. And to do so, I need to get another taste of it so I know what I'm letting go. And that is IMPOSSIBLE.
• Save up enough money to travel to US in year 2012.

If by any chance any of these ridiculous goal is achieved, I'm thanking God and that's it.

Happy New Year everybody! Have a prosperous year ahead of you and may your love life, family and friends be your greatest joy of life. Cheers!

And so a year is ending...

I'm not a TRUE blogger at heart. I do not write frequently. Though, today it seems only right for me to do so. Who would have guessed that I would become a Lecturer in Lim Kok Wing University of Technology? I for one didn't.

Amidst all the papers I have to photocopy@print, amidst all the political drama here in the working place, amidst the troubles of my long distance relationship with my boyfriend, I find that I am content. Not deliriously happy, mind you. But content nonetheless.

So what have I been up to in a full year? Let's see...

I have changed job.
I have learned that I am indeed quite anti-social.
I have understood that I cannot expect too much of any relationship (family, friends, boyfriend, teacher-students, co-workers, etc)
I have agreed and disagreed with a whole bunch of people who up until today are friends with me still. (I hope)
I have learned that you can't be too clingy to some people for all the obvious reasons.

And I have learned a lot more. Of course, the one thing I need to learn now is to organize my time so I'd have enough sleep.

I salute all the teachers in the world, especially those who are passionate about this profession, and one of them would be my own mother.

Cheers and all the best for your 2010!
