More resolutions for being 21 years old?
I know it is rather late to say these but then still wanna say....
In fact, I still havent gotton over the fact I am 21 liao. I juz dun haf that feeling of being 21... I keep thinking I am still childish at many areas..... I am still naive in some.... still still..... haiz. Oh yes, wanna say that these days are days that mix with hell load of work yet many sweet moments with frens in archi. Hence, the pain I gotten have more or less forgotten....
These days while walking on streets, on the way home, I have been thinking.... and thinking... of the past things i do etc... and laughing at my own childish manners in some situations and so on.... kinda feel embarrassed by myself. I wish that since I am 21 liao, I want to be more serious to some things. More reasonable in some, more matured in some, more sensitive in some, and being more considerate in some. Think this resolution of mine is a continuous thing from now til the end of my life.
I also realise some things that are so amazing... I find that in many areas I actually can draw a line between work and relationships.... as in I wont care how good or bad I am with this person, I will work with them equally as the rest. More or less equal lar. Then the code will change once we are out of the work context. Maybe thru work, I will change my impression of that person oso. 2ndly, I am amazed at how my split personality can act in work and normal days. I am such a totally different person in work when my that serious mode is switched on.... I am amazed that I am such a 'NASTY' person when I get gan jiong over things..... 3rdly, I am really amazed that I can choose things I wish to forget or forgive and it will work as it is. The more incredible thing is I can choose to ignore some facts I dun wish to consider and therefore I dun feel existence of that pain or trouble or problem. Maybe becos my memory or brain already no space, I have no choice oso. cant be helped. Overall, I am amazed at myself of those points... dunno if those things are good or bad. Ok la, that's all.
Recently I have been eating alot of junkies at night while working and sis commented that next time when i go out to work and eat like that, I will get fatter than her or much worse. The tot of getting fat already scare me out lor... hmm, now i am being 'encouraged' by my sis to take up more strict running schedule... I shall do that in the hols. heehee... meanwhile hopefully can restrain my itchy mouth hahaha~~~
all right, more work to go~!
ur resolutions will take u forever to achieve~~ cos itz so subjective... u can nv really reach a stage where u can stop~~ =P
learning is a lifelong process mah, so if it is endless, then let it be lor~~ I'll juz constantly improve whenever i can~~
seriously, if u dont bother to do some exercise, abstaining frm food will only make a weak jul.
haiz... but i really no time to exercise...
