It's 2010. I don't know why but this new decade doesn't seem any different to me. No hype, no excitement. I just felt that it's just an extension of last year.
Yet many things have happened in 2009. I had quite an emotional ride. Hopes dashed and relived, dreams partially fulfilled, experienced new things, get to know how society works, met new people, and most significantly, my first term in Cambridge.
Yet, as I type this, I can't really identify what this new year holds for me, or what I would like to strive for. The obvious 'doing well in uni' remains as always, to every aspiring student whether in school, college, or uni. BUT. I want to be better, I want to learn more, I want to do more. But what is that 'more'?
Hence my new year resolution for this year. I shall keep my thoughts open and embark on a journey of self-discovery. A journey of exploring & finding once again the things that make me tick, things that make me convulse in laughter, things that make me believe that it is worth fighting for, and things that no matter what, keep me going all the time. I will NOT allow myself to be engulfed in the workload that Cambridge throws upon me (which would prove a big challenge to be honest). I will NOT allow myself room for doubts. Enjoy all the little things and revel in all the opportunities made available to me by one of the top universities in the world. Be bold enough to try but not stupid enough to allow it to take over everything else. Yes, 2010 seems much brighter now. It shall not be another mundane year. It shall be a year where I will grow.
Hope all you people out there find 2010 a year filled with chances. It's all about making use of them!
