Resolutions for 2007 (or what's left of it!)

Haha, it took four months for me to finally get into the I-desperately-need-an-overhaul-in-my-life mood. I don't know what hit me, but something definitely has gotten me going! Perhaps it's the suspicious 20-somethings lol. Ok here goes:

1) Reduce self afflicted stress by 80% and take things easy. Simple phrases that convey a whole lot deeper meaning. Easier said than done. So on and so forth. Lol. I know myself as someone who panics easily and gets anxious over the slightest hint of a problem. More oft than not, I see too far into the "bleak" future and all sorts of negative possibilities start popping up. And that's a major causative factor! The second major factor is my tendency to bear grudges against people, or rahter their actions. I can easily forget the good that someone has done for me but I'll definitely remember the bad. It'll take time, but I'm putting in the effort to change haha. Man is innately flawed after all. One of my friends remarked that the fear of getting bad karma keeps him in line. I simply refuse to let an external belief control me. Everything has to come from within.

2) Sleep more. Yes there is certainly no scientific doubt that sleeping confers numerous benefits on the mind and body...

3) Fiscal prudence! And I cannot stress that more. It does take a lot to run a family in Singapore, but in the short term, there are driving lessons to be paid for, for instance. Then there are varsity fees. Hmmmm

4) Make more friends. Haha I realise that I'm awfully short of contacts when the weekend arrives. Or rather I keep seeing the same people every week ><. No offense, but life demands variety ^^, though I'm not opposed to seeing the same people but doing different stuff. Going about doing it, now that's the hard part. Short of joining the bleargh SDU, perhaps I can hook up with tj's blading friends or simply take up some enrichment classes lol.

5) What's next?




Book in -_-

Maybe I tend to be pessimist, but things just don't work out right for me most of the time. Take last week's guard duty. It was supposed to be a simple 24 hr duty but look at the issues that cropped up. A case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time? I'm definitely sure though that my men won't do me in. Darn reviewing the so-called evidence on Monday. I dread Mondays.

April Fool?

Hrm! Highly suspicious joke by Google lol. Flushing down your internet connection cable which is then retrieved by engineers and plugged into the main pipeline?? Sounds so *lame*. lol.

Ah! This long week is finally over. I booked out from guard duty only in the morning la. Strangely I don't feel anything special. What makes a day special then? Because the calender says so? Maybe it's up to oneself to make it so. Lol.
