New Year
I've yet to write down my New Year resolution.
For the year 2009, these are what I hope to accomplish:
1) A closer relationship with God
I've been writing that down every year but have always been using studies and basketball as an excuse. But all thats not going to be a problem cause I'll be on a 'Mission Trip' to Tekong as small Jon puts it. I'll really be a time where I'll have to really rely on God. I really hope to do my quiet time everyday and not use tiredness as an excuse. Mel if you read this, please remind me not to use tiredness as an excuse.
2) To control my temper
I know people who know me would think I'm a quiet guy. However, I can be quite loud at home, and at times too loud. I think I've been very rude to my parents; I'm always raising my voice to get my point across. I find that I can't seem to control my temper especially towards my mother and sister. I feel horrible and hope to change that.
3) To be a better boyfriend
I've still so much to learn, about her and about myself. I've got to learn how to love all over again, to strengthen our relationship. I think one of my weaknesses is that I'm quite self-centered at times. Many times I've neglected how she feels and hurt her. I really hope to be more understanding and selfless.
4) To do my best in Army
I want to do my best in army. I've only one BMT and I hope that I'll take up all opportunities available and leave with no regrets. I hope I can go to OCS. I'm quite a perfectionist; I want to do my best in everything I do. Well, I'll let God decide. If its with my own strength, I'll only fail.
5) Try to get into a Uni and a Scholarship
I really pray that my results will be good enough to get into a local university. I don't want to be a financial burden. I hope I'm able to get a scholarship too. Prefably one that covers my tuition fees. Its highly likely that it'll come with a bond but I guess in the current economic situation, thats not such a bad idea. I've applied for the NUS USP program. I'm not sure though if I can get in. I'll only know in March. My top choice is still SMU.
Thats my top 5 goals for 2009. Theres so much else I hope to achieve but army would probably take up most of my time. I'm in fear now. Feeling really uncertain about my future now, but I'll let God lead me. Cause, we can do everything we want but without God we'll never be satisfied.
Alright, time to sleep. I've got a picnic at Botanic Gardens with T24 guys at 1pm.
