Welcome 2013!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's a legitimate brand new start! New beginnings always make people happy, don't they? :) I spent New Year's Eve with the Cheers team yesterday night, just like how we had for the past 3 years! It's been a good 3 years, time really waits for no one.. 2012 passed by so quickly! This year we settled for Jap buffet at Chiso Zanmai @ The Central. Although the selection was limited compared to Kiseki's, their desserts are much better. Loved their cakes especially the green tea mousse and chocolate crunch ones. Was too busy eating to take pictures hehe. We spammed sashimi too! Love of my life \(^w^)/!

During dinner we talked about how 2012 summed up to be and the hope we have in 2013. Everyone has different stories and dreams about the past and the future :) New year, new beginnings.. I remember when I started this blog I wrote something similar too! Although I don't blog regularly but I think my style of writing matured a little haha lesser SHOUTY CAPITALS and endless exclamation marks!!! :D Shall work on penning my thoughts down more often. It's nice to read past entries and see how far you've come, you know that kinda feeling? :)

So! A new year definitely calls for new year resolutions. My 2012 new year resolution was very successful and I think the success lies in how clear I was in picturing it. Picturing everything I can do to achieve that. So this year, I'm going to be as clear or even clearer about what I really want to achieve. I'm gonna pen down every detail of what I want to be by the end of this year, as specific as possible. Somehow it's like a dream. Because in a dream you can be anything and everyone strives to be better, don't they? They always say if your dreams don't scare you, it's not big enough. So, why not? :)

In this brand new year, I will do nice things for others, everyday. Throughout 2012, I have had my share of ups and downs but despite it all, I am very grateful I am blessed with many lovely people around me who have guided me and taught me various lessons. So as blessed as I am, I wanna spread the blessings around in 2013 . I shall make a difference even if it's in a small way. :)

Other than this, there are many other aspects of course. Firstly, faith. I need God in me to spread blessings around. I will go to church every week. WILL. I shall seek You eagerly. Improve my relationship with You. In the past I used to think that God and religion are the last things I'm gonna take care of before I die. My plan was to do everything first then before I die, you know when I'm 99 or something, then I go to church, pray, repent and be good so my soul will be salvaged. But no. It doesn't work this way. I did many bad things last time. Lived a life doing all sorts of harmful stuff to other people, hurting them and blaming it on others, blaming it on hurt inflicted upon me. But throughout it all, I have always been forgiven and given chances to repent. Given chances to wake up and turn my life around. Above all I am deeply blessed with my father who is so faithful to God. He has always reminded me, persuaded me, dragged me to church, to pray to God, to think of living in a way God approves. His faith is amazing. And I am thankful for him. Thank you for your strong faith Daddy, thank you for bringing me back to the Almighty God. I've never done my part as a Christian since I was baptized and baptism was my choice. In 2013 I will make an effort to. Coming back to you, Father. 

Health and body wise, this year I am going to just simply, love my bod. I wanna embrace my chubbiness. Chubby people don't look as old when they grow older anyway. *self-defensive* Haha :P This doesn't mean that I'll just binge on food of course. I shall stick to the change in diet - cut down on carbs in one meal a day and start on a consistent fitness regime - jog or swim at least once a week. I know it's not enough and all but hey, baby steps! And for an unfit person it's a good change for a start! :) I am gonna build my self-confidence in image by being very positive so if anyone tells me I'm chubby, I'm gonna reply I'm blessed! :)

Other than that, the continual learning of new things I mentioned in one of the posts sticks. I'm gonna do that. Also gonna work on the relationships aspect. Relationships with Momsy, with Daddy, with Ahyee, with my lil brother, my godparents, my godbrother, my friends, I shall work on it. 2012 had me sorting out who really matters. 2013 shall see me spending more quality time with each and everyone in the list. Words can't express how precious and dear you are to me. And I'm going to appreciate you for all that you've done. Thank you for sticking around all of you. THANK YOU.

This is getting addictive but I'd rather keep some other aspects written down, literally. Soooo yup, that's it. Gonna end here. :) CHEERS TO AN AWESOME YEAR AHEAD! o(^ V ^)o
