gg clean into 2011

(this space will be edited soon.) (:




so today's actually day 2 of 2011. needa pre-blog.. hahas.
time now: 4:42am


so how did i spend the last day of 2010 into 2011?
last yr, i rode into the new yr.
this yr, i did the same, just that with a motor.

hahas. so.. we spent the night at suan's basement carpark, washing our vehicles clean. and goofing all around.







check out the difference.
i dun really like golden rims. but clean rims are nice.




jojo and suan also washed their carss. hahas.



then, we headed off the amk macs with our very clean vehicles. and first food for the year: my fav mac's walnut cheese cake. hahas.





so.. technically, its 3rd jan right now.
this yr, been really late with my new year resolutions. not just posting it up and reminding myself, but it took me awhile to discover what's valuable and really what to focus on.


--


so this was what i posted last yr:


looking ahead; what's next:

1. No procrastination.
2. Be focused in every task.
3. I want to lead a healthier lifestyle, physcially, and spiritually.
4. BIKE TP'S IN 14 JAN. I NEED TO PASS THIS AND GET MY LICENSE.
5. I want to graduate on time. dec10.
6. more overseas tournament.
7. OSIM. my first triathalon (sprint distance). and may probably be the last?
8. probably want to be the one initiate outings and planning them, rather than be lazy abt everything.
9. Be more patient. and really work harder for my goals.
10. ? may God be my compass then.




out of 1-10.. i think i 'achieved' 2,4,5,7 and ok.. 1. here and there la.
3 and 10: i think i didn't make God a really happy person.
6: totally didnt go Asian champs this yr coz of the rioting at BKK airport, and skipped Milo Jnr all Stars, Penang Pesta and AUG. complete failure of this. but i did go Bali for my first overseas contact tournament.
7: erms. not sure if counted.. but on race day, the rain was so heavy that the swim category got cancelled, nonetheless, i did made efforts to swim in open water, going for some free workshops on it.
8: starting of the yr was alright.. towards the end... whoas. like outta battery.

so. just a Summary of 2010:
not a pretty bad yr.. it felt more of like a transition yr? ok.. no. let me rephrase that...
it felt more of a final year of my youth. yup.
i think 2011 would be The transition year for me.
so recalling some significant events for the year that i can rmbr off hand..

some ups:
- most significantly and probably the best thing: i got my 2B license and my awesomest Yamaha Spark.
- i'm done with the academic aspect of my life; final yr in SIM.
- first overseas contact trip to Bali with SIM.
- won my respective sUNIgs tournaments, probably more particular abt bowling; managed to achieve team gold.
- achieved sportswoman of the year in SIM.
- SIM Sports Leadership camp at Ipoh was great. caving, water rafting and fun-loving group of sporty friends.
- Dance Art Recital this yr. was quite into dance towards the eoy.. like 5 times a wk kinda thing. more trngs than rugby.
- hah. i was a mac delivery rider for the 2nd half of the year.
- self-skid accident got new Battlax tyres.
- my new fullsus mtb frame (commencal meta 5.5)
- oh. i was 21.


some downs:
- missed out all end of yr bowling tournaments. especially e overseas one.
- actually for this yr's sunig bowling, i could have done better for individual and doubles event. it was really a close fight.
- i actually skipped a few runs that i signed up for due to killer project work... especially my fav: Swissotel Vertical Marathon and Salomon trail run. kinda disappointed abt it. annual events.
-didn't take part in any photo competitions AT ALL. shoot me now.
- didn't go northern thailand mission
- partial tear of ankle ligament in oct09, but discovered in feb10. ahhahas.




there was a shift in my priorities in mid-yr. i did wanted to bowl competitively till end of the yr, but i kinda stopped after sunig. i focused more of rugby and touch. i'm not sure if i made this choice a little bit too early which in the end, led me to forego substantial amt of opportunity cost that's impt to me.


i felt that i was quite driven at the start of the yr but towards the end of the year, it felt that my laziness all got spilled out. i'm not sure if i was burnt out or what, but final sem of SIM wasn't tt easy with the major projects, finance exams; a total of 5 modules. also, early of the year, i did try to go back church. but it was futile and i succumbed to my worldly distractions. i do attend the end of year festive occasions, but it wasn't a genuine act of faithfulness ... but more so to just enjoy myself and reminiscing past yr annual happy events.


but the on going struggle was to commit time for God. and i believe it will still be a struggle unless i put in more effort in correcting it. and i think also because i reallly haven't been spending time with The Word, my responses / character/ thinkings, might have been swayed away and i wasn't as joyfully positive as i can be. decisions made weren't really God-honouring and faithful.


--



so!
looking ahead:

1. Learning to let go; taking setbacks very positively and objectively.

2. Be an overall genuinely happy positive girl again and genuinely kind. hahas.

3. Be disciplined in health and fitness. Focused

4. Learning to put God as the center of everything once again.



i think just these 4 will do? hahas. for now. always add alot but in end, not too focused.
but i think more so as a person, i wanna be better. like in character building and being responsible and trust-worthy.
i need to get back where i left off.
