It's 12 midnight now so: Happy New Year, everybody!

Wowww, 2006 is now history and it's a whole new year! Time flies, and somehow, I like the idea of a new beginning :)

So I got a new URL and a new layout to complement it! xD

There's just something about January 1 (of which I can't describe) that makes me super-motivated to do better, be better, or just plain start over. Life hasn't been very smooth-sailing for me thus far, and I haven't been very satisfied with the way I am - I procrastinate a lot and I'm always unable to pluck up the courage to do something beyond what's deemed to be in my comfort zone..

I want a change!

And since New Year's come just once in 12 months, the impetus for change is naturally stronger.

But I shall leave the New Year Resolutions till later :D


Moving on, I've been wanting to come up with a 2006 milestone for myself 'cos I think it's a great idea to look back at the past year and take a little time to think things through, do a little reflection etc. But 2006 has either been real uneventful, or I just simply cannot recall how wonderful a year 2006 has been for me.

But I know for sure that my classmates and I have bonded a whole lot this year, and we've come to enjoy one another's company now that we've spent two years together as a class. It pains to know we're all seperated into different classes next this year, but I'm sure our spirit as a class wouldn't falter as easily as we have, physically.

Being elected a Councillor has definitely been a highlight for me as well. All the effort that we've put in for publicity paid off, and it's really heartening to see all of us getting through together. I now shoulder more responsiblities than I've ever been entrusted with in my entire life and it'd be a challenge that I have to now face with an open mind.

And there's the Council camp which I sadly didn't manage to complete. It was plagued with pain and injuries for me, but it's through this camp that I've managed to integrate a lot more into Council, and I've forged stronger friendships with several of my batchmates, and even some of my seniors. I was forced to push my limits, and I hope I did, but I've also been reminded to be aware of my breaking point at all times.

It has also given me a useful insight into what Council term might turn out to be, and it's not going to be easy. I don't know what awaits me in the near future, but I hope that I'd be able to overcome whatever it is that may come my way, and acquire new skills/lessons while at it.

And to do that, I'd need sheer grit and determination - something I feel is greatly lacking in me.

So I hope, in this coming new year, I'd be able to achieve those I'm striving for, and accomplish what I've set out to do.

2007, here I come!

Cheers!
