29thDecember 2010.
It's finally sinking into me that this year is ending. The year end always calls for a time of intense reflection, and I've always had immense joy when I reflect back. But this year was so bad. I don't believe that by stepping into a new year that I would have a rag-to-riches story, or receive magical intervention to become a better person altogether.

I had a few resolutions for 2011, but I think I'd scrape them all away. I don't want to spend my waking hours sanctioned by routines and plans that I have senselessly set knowing that I'm bound to fail. Resolutions are too fleeting- I can foresee that in less than a month I would have shed my reformation to the winds.

These were my Resolutions I made for 2010. Scorn, laugh, mock. I didn't fulfill a single one of the below.
Resolutions 2010
1. Spend more time with my mother!
Go for dinner with her after school (haven't done that in ages!)
Go for breakfast with her on Saturday morning @ JC at least once a month

2. Less cabs!
Try to go home before the train and bus services run out, cannot take midnight cabs more than once a week, seriouslyyy!
Wake up earlier and seriously stop oversleeping

3. Do not skip school more than once a fortnight
I know it's impossible for me not to skip school, I mean there are just days you just can't drag yourself to school?! & then there are days where school has to be skipped to rush projects & more days where Orchard calls...

4. Show more love!
Buy more random gifts for my family & friends

5. Write to Jerusha Ho & Joanne Lee
I always give up writing when life gets so busy? But I really want to write! Once a month at the very least?

If only there were fairy godmothers, a genie in a lamp, or someone as wise as Solomon.

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." — Arundhati Roy
