Oh my! It's already 1st January 2014! OoO !
2013 was a reminder to myself of what
I've learnt and how I've grown throughout the year.There were many enjoyable
and unforgettable moments, and there were also times I'd broken down due to too
much stress and worries. I hope that by writing this post, my path for 2014
would be much more aligned and whenever I happen to feel down and unmotivated,
I hope that by reading this post, it would help me get back on my feet again.
It’s about time, I took a step back
and just reflect, realize. One of the reasons why I work so hard is honestly
because I want a form of security. I work hard because I do want to see and in
fact I love to see the digits in my bank account grow. I enjoy the pleasure of
having spare cash so that I can use it for rainy days or I can spend it for
special occasions like Christmas, or my friends' and family's birthdays.
It's human nature to feel that
whatever you possess at the moment isn't enough, you may have 100 bucks in your
bank but if you get 200 bucks the next day, you're gonna want more and more,
and even when it reaches 1000 bucks, it's also not enough. It's never enough.
At one point of time in life in 2013, I'd felt that money was everything. I
felt that it makes the world go round and you can do anything and everything
with it. But, taking a step back and realizing the dangers that I was putting
my mind into, I'd realized that I was wrong.
After much reflection and taking time
off things to really think things through thoroughly, I was convinced that
there is no value behind money. Money, that we all work so hard for, taking our
time off from our love ones, falling sick for, and getting stressed up for, is
nothing. It is nothing but a piece of paper that we use for trade. .
It is true that your true assets are
time and freedom. I'm still young and though it
is good to save for my future, I shouldn't worry so much and I should just
enjoy my time and freedom with my loved ones when I still can. What's the point
of constantly working all the time, running from school to under blocks to
library just to constantly be studying and getting tired and falling sick?
I may be 17 but many of my peers
think that I worry too much like a 30 year old. And I couldn't agree more. I
may get wrinkles by the time I'm 35 by the look of how much I think and work
and worry all the time. Apart from worrying about having enough savings in my
bank, I'd also started worrying about my future.
I think that it is important for us
to start planning things like this asap so that when the time comes to really settling
down, things would be much easier. I must admit that ever since my family’s
situation got tougher, grown so much more mature and its not an option for me
to stay childish and naive.
What I learnt from Mama was that getting
a roof over your head nowadays is costly and it takes a while to get one. And I
don't want to be one of those that face these problems in future. I want to
travel and all but I cannot ignore such a huge thing like getting a secure job
or even getting a house. About my job and house I am sure my close friends and
family knows in much depth.
2) My Plans for
2014
Get A Driving
License
I have plans to get a driving license.
During my holidays, after year 1 ends, I want to start going for driving
courses. I know that it's not easy to own a car and I know how expensive
getting one is but I have always wanted to be able to drive and so I will learn
how to.
Be Healthier &
Fitter
I also have plans to get healthier
and fitter in 2014. I plan to be going to the gym as much as I can and also
when I cant’t to simply go for jogs or else do yoga or Pilates. I've fallen sick too many times in 2013 and
it's time to step out of that and stay healthy! Therefore, I plan to have more
balanced meals, more early nights, more exercising ad less intake of junk
food..well the last one I’ll do my best! I am most definitely not going to cut
it out completely! I am Food Junkie after all!
Travel
I also plan to travel more
and simply enjoy my life while I'm still young and far away from all
those adult stress I'd talked about earlier in this post. Throughout 2013, I
had made a lot of plans to go overseas together either with family or friends
but it always failed because either one of us is caught up with work. And
sadly, most of the time its because of me. hahaha. My fam..I’m sorry.
Therefore, as soon as I'm free as a bird in 2014 (although a short while), we
are going to travel!!!!! I can't wait!
I'm going out to enjoy whatever time
I have left before school starts tomorrow :( That’s not a lot as it’s almost
midnight!!!For everyone that's going back to school, I know how sucky it feels,
but you're not alone so just hang on! It'll be over before you know it.
Prioritize
I also would learn to set my priorities
straight. Studies is really important, and at 17, my social life a.k.a my
friends are important. Well, the close ones at least. But what I will not
forget this time round..is my family! They have done so much for me and are
still doing so much that the very least I can do is repay them. I will make
time to bond with my sisters and be of as much help as I can at home and also
help my parents in any way that I can..for now financially not much, but when I
do get a part time job, then I will most definitely give my salary to them.
Thank you all for reading and HAPPY
NEW YEAR everyone!!!
Now I can't wait for Chinese New Year. hehehe. For most it’ll be an occasion/festival. For me it’s a mini holiday!!BYE!
