New Year's Resolutions


What a tiring day. Having 6 consecutive hours of RedBox session with only 3 persons was certainly energy-draining. Phew~. This is probably not a good time to start a blog entry after a long break but what the hell? Let’s do this!

It’s been almost a month since 2013 came. I would love my first entry of the year to be my New Year’s Resolutions.

1. Revive and Continue Blogging Habit.
As you can see, this isn’t the first time I’ve taken a long break after starting to blog. The main reason why I want to continue this blogging habit is because I believe it’s a good way to make myself change to stop caring so much about what other people think about me and bring out more of myself. Also, having achieving half of my first new year’s resolution certainly brings about the mood to continue striving for other resolutions. The ball has started rolling!

2. Start Making Song Covers.
Procrastination has been my profession for quite some time now. This is definitely the main reason why I still haven’t started posting any song covers. It’s time for a change. My aim is to post at least 12 song covers this year. The number “12” is seriously too small but I’m actually secretly planning for more.

3. Start Writing Songs.
I used to write poems for this blog and I believe this can somehow help me in writing songs. Also I find myself constantly love to write sentences and “shape” them to give out a certain feel that I want. Analysing feelings and asking reasons for things we do in our daily life, of which people normally don’t do, are also my interests. These are signs from God telling me, “you are destined to be a song-writer” and as a person who believes in God, I shall follow the signs. I’m almost done with my 1st piece and I plan to achieve at least 6 songs this year.

4. Socialise More.
I was satisfied with my social life but not anymore. Even though I constantly hang out with friends, I’m aware I do not talk much. I was probably too afraid to be myself and being too self-conscious. A friend recently told me, “the trick is don’t think and just talk”. It is true. To come to think of it, when you’re with friends, why the hell should you think? It is not like its work related anyway. It’s all about being yourself and have fun. Of course, you got to know when you need to think before you talk but most of the time, you don’t!

5. To Be Able to Speak in Mandarin Chinese.
It has been more than 4 years since I came to University. Many of my friends, similar to me, started off not knowing how to speak in the language. The difference is that now, they can already speak fluently in it. Let the snake of 2013 be the year I get this monkey off my back!

6. Achieve The Goals I Set.
Many times in life, I have failed to achieve the goals I set for myself. Be it overconfident of my own capabilities or too much of procrastinating, I’ll make sure I overcome them to achieve these 6 goals I’ve set for this year.

Finally, I made it. Thanks for reading.
