Well...This is it. My new blog. It's like...The 5th one. Hopefully, I'll stick with this till the end and not end it abruptly halfway like my other blogs. It's the New Year already,2006. 2005 came and gone so fast. I can't believe I've completed my school life. Well, secondary level that is. It feels so...Weird. Not going to school anymore. It feels just like yesterday when I was just a clueless 13 year old, stepping into the school grounds which I had heard nothing of about it. Thick glasses,short stature and a childish attitude to boot, it was any wonder I could make any friends. Now, looking back, I realised that I have made a fair share of friends, not to mention enemies. And as suddenly as the 1st lesson I had in Bartley, my business was also done with Bartley when I shaded the last oval for the last GCE 'O' level paper, which, I remember well, was the Combined Science MCQ Paper 1.

I have to admit...I will miss this school after I've left. Given a choice, surprisingly, I would choose to continue my secondary life as a student in the school which I had dreaded so much in the past. Yes. To me, going to school was a hassle,a chore and a complete waste of my time. Now when I look back, I wouldn't trade the times I spent in Bartley for the world.

Actually, I'm not quite done with that school of mine yet. I will still be going back to help out my school's Ncc Air unit as a Cadet Lieutenant. I will be helping out in areas that needs to be taken care of. I really wish that our unit can get Gold award for this year's BUC. Overacheiver? Ahahaz...afraid not. It can be done. Just the matter of how you go about doing it.

Anyways, on the morning of New Year's Eve, I was in Plaza Singapura watching...what was the movie again...Oh yes. "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse Of The Were Rabbit" with LC's cousin. Not exactly an Oscar winning piece, but a fun movie nevertheless. After the movie, we met up with LC and her friend and walked around for a bit. We then went over to LC's house as she needed to change when she goes out later in the evening to the Esplanade to countdown to 2006. We then took the train to City Hall where we split up as i had to meet MW at Paya Laber. He got me to work part-time(sort of...) selling lightsticks at the Indoor Stadium followed by Mount Faber that day. We took bus number 70 to the Indoor Stadium and we passed by Grandlink along the way. Past memories flooded my mind as we passed that building. I remember in the past, after NCC training in school, a number of my friends would go there to play Counter-Strike. But now, it seems that a long time had passed since the last time we played there together. Now that school is over for us, it seems that everyone is busy doing some things or another. I wish that all of us could go back, back to the time where we would talk happily about the day's events and laughing our heads off as we made our way to Grandlink, shooting each other in the computers and buying bubble tea costing $1 each after the games. Yes, those were the days. But sadly, it could never happen again.

I would love to go on about the day's event. The unfruitful sales we had at the Indoor Stadium, the crowd at the Mt. Faber celebrations, the stage performances and the spectacular fireworks. But it seems that i have ranted long enough. Perhaps, I would rather share my experiences personally, instead of just putting it down in black and white. Literally. Before I forget, these are my New Year's resolutions for 2006:

Resolutions For 2006:
  1. Grow taller. Much taller. Goal: 166cm by the end of the 2006.
  2. Change of personality. I have seen the results of simply being me during my Secondary school life. I do not wish for a repeat. For 2006, I hope to be someone different.
  3. Maintain this blog and not give it up like the 4 previous ones.
  4. Take good care of everything I own. Gone are the days of stains on shoes and scratches on MP3 or handphone.
  5. Organise a reunion for class 4E2 of 2005. Hopefully, this would be an annual event.
  6. I can't fathom the thought of saying 'No' to games. I can only play less frequently and work hard during my Tetiary education.
  7. Take up a course in percussion once I have the time(not to mention money).
  8. Help to acheieve a Gold award for Bartley Air Unit for the BUC.
  9. Learn to manage my time more efficiently. Time management is very important this year.
  10. I will clean up my room(hopefully, one of these days I'll come round and do it).
  11. Support myself financially.
  12. Find time to go back to school and visit my teachers and friends, in plain clothes, not uniform.
