Reflection 2009

Every year, I make a reflection of the things I've done and achieved over the year. I think today is a suitable day for me to do so. I believe that after writing them all, I will be able to move on. It isn't exactly a superstition but it is something that I do so that I don't feel like I've wasted my life/year.

--> Started Semester 3 in January when I was an eager student, ready to face the exams. Didn't do so well in my first In-Course-Assessment but in the second, I improved a bit. Learnt about OSCE, passed EOS and subsequently started Sem 4 and passed my exams. I realised that in the second half of the year, I slacked a lot. Guess it's time to pick up the pace again in Sem 5.

--> I had 2 major hair cuts! It became short, then, shorter. A change of image was something I needed and glad I had. :) It was much easier to maintain and nice to fling when dancing. haha.

--> Thanks to a few friends, I found myself taking pictures of people, events and friends. I'm not a pro and I take pictures for fun. I get content easily with a clear picture regardless of the ISO, f value and shutter speed.

--> I appreciate music and art more than I ever did thanks to IMU Art Festival, Acoustic Night and Literature. I still love instrumental a lot more!

--> I fostered new friendship, maintained some and unfortunately, lose some. It is important to know who you're investing time and effort in because some might just take it for granted. Of course, you would want to hang out with people who appreciate your presence too, right?

--> I learnt to take things as they come, hence, not so stressed out. But, still a bit paranoid and anxious. Emo-ing is still one of my hobbies. hehe.

--> I became more active in blogging and changed my template twice. I finally got the hang of nuffnang. I've even got a Twitter account of which I will learn to be more active in updating. People hardly follow me, so I hardly twit. haha. For my blog, I even started something called 'Short Notes' for random bursts of ideas, updates etc.

I've learnt a lot this year. To let go of negative feelings/thoughts and to move on. To be more patient but I don't think I've been patient enough. To trust myself in making decisions and to be more confident although at times, I do run away from situations if possible. I learnt that anything is possible so long your heart wants it because [I know, it's common] when there is a will, you will find the way. I managed to reduce the amount of swear words by a LOT. :)

This year, I didn't raise awareness about anything. Hopefully, I would find something to do next year and do some charity work. It's been awhile... Besides this, it's time to finalize my resolutions and write a new profile. A simpler one this time I suppose. I am pretty sure that I want to make 2010 one of the best years I'll ever have!
