Yes, once again, it's the end of the year and a beginning of a new one. It's my 16th (or is it 15th? Idk haha) one and it never gets old! A new year is a time for change and start afresh. A time to forget all the bad past and become a better person. A year older, a year wiser.
And of course, let's not forget the New Year resolutions! Speaking from experience, I hardly... okay make that never fulfil my resolutions. Maybe a month or so before I give up....
SO THIS TIME, I SHALL LIST IT ALL DOWN NICELY AND YOU ALL SHALL BE MY WITNESS. I'm determined this time to follow them! So here goes :)
1. God, You're my Man!
Throughout my life, I only look to God when I'm in trouble. That is wrong. God isn't just a person who fixes problems, He blesses you, loves you and is your closest friend. Lately I start to see this but I'm still like an On and Off switch. I need to always, always put God first in my life. He gives me everything I have right now and I am truly grateful for that. :) I have this idea of pasting bible verses on the walls of my room to remind me of God's words. Haha we'll see!
2. LIVE EARTH, LIVE.
Imagine if everyone goes shopping once a week. Now imagine that every single person in the world bring homes a plastic bag and throws it away. That would be 7 billion non-biodegradable plastic bags polluting the environment every week and in a year, it'll be over 30 billion plastic papers! So many animals die one way or another either through this. It shouldn't happen. That's excluding the number of litter bugs who mindlessly throw away their sweet wrappers or their rubbish on the floor. Regardless, they are many other forms of pollution and if everyone just start being a lil' more environmentally aware, we can really help save our planet from pollution. So what I'm trying to do is bring my own bag every time I go out shopping. I'm also gonna try to start putting an effort in recycling and start saving electricity! It may seem small but one person can take a step to making a difference and I wanna try to take that step.
3. Priorities. Studies above everything else.
Back when I was in form 3 and people told me form 4 is going to be way harder, I didn't believe them. But that is all too true. I slacked off wayyyy too much in form 4 and pretty much struggled all the way. I keep getting side-tracked. Things like my love life, music(no more piano this year! yyayy), games, social networks, and in general, the need to do anything besides studying -__-' I can tell you right now I have practically no idea what I have learn for Sejarah form 4 *faints* and if this continues, I might as well say good bye to my future lol. This year towards the end, I showed I can be focused and determined if I want to with my good Chemistry results and somehow miraculously did 4-6 hours of piano everyday throughout my holiday. It's a start lah at least. So bring it on 2013!
4. Forever alone mode: on
This is pretty similar to my third but it just had to have a column of its own. Last year I can say I spent as much time thinking or being involve in love stuff instead of studying. Worst of all, love affects me emotionally which seriously makes me can't think straight. hahahaha I'm actually laughing at this right now because this is a really hard resolution to keep because love just comes at you when you least expect it and its something you pretty much can't control. But I just hope I get my head straight on. Love is forever present. SPM comes once in my lifetime.
5. Bedtime? What is that?
Okay this is also similar to my third resolution. I'm getting repetitive now haha. But yeah, I was never a guy who want to sleep early, no matter how freakin tired I am. I need to have a proper bed time so that I can wake up fresh and be ready for school to actually learn something instead of just sleeping and fooling around in class. Which leads to my next resolution...
6. HOMEWORK
This has been my new year resolution every year and guess what? I never actually fulfill it haha. Since I was like primary 5, I start to slack with my homework. I have this ideology that if teacher don't check your work, what's the point of doing it? But those work actually help train and bury the points into your head so it's easier to memorize next time. Some of the homeworks are also short notes which really comes in handy. I was going through my form 4 exercise books to try and revise a few things before school reopens and you can pretty much guess how screwed I am with atleast an empty page every 10 pages lol. -_____________-
7. My, my, my... don't you look pretty today!
Yes, I have start to become judgmental. But theres nothing wrong about it. I just hope that I can start saying only nice things about people instead of gossiping about bad things. Noone likes to be judge negatively, neither do I. So be prepared for a nicer Alson this year! I'll prolly be deemed the nice guy and get forever friendzone but hey, it beats being a jerk. And yes, you do look good today whoever is reading this. ;) HAHA
8. Money? What Money?
So I empty my savings today to check how much money have I kept for 2012 and it total up to... zero. I spent all my money in school, for friends, dinners, presents and in KL. Even in online games when I start earning alot of money, I go shopping crazy for stuff. I need to learn how to save money and spend wisely next year!
9. Mom: Is your room clean? Me: Yes, there's a clear path from my door to my bed
Ever since young I am never one to keep my room or even the house clean. My stuff is everywhere. I guess this comes from my habit to procrastinate things or only do something when it's really really necessary instead of when I should. My longest clean record is a week. So I'm gonna try to do it for a month first. Small steps! :)
10. Hey, nice weather aye?
I am shy and I no like. Among friends, I'm the crazy guy, the fun person, the talkative one. But among strangers or new people, I just shut down. It just makes me feel uncomfortable being around new people and once again especially girls -_- I get all socially awkward and try to avoid conversation. It's a horrible habit I have since I was young. Hopefully this year I get to show my true side to new people and get to mix along with them well!
That wraps it up. My 10 2013 resolutions! I plan to abide by them this time ;) Hope you guys get to follow you resolutions too! Cheers to a new year! :)
