*groans* I'm at home on NEW YEAR's EVE! terriffic right?
oh-kay.. since I'm stuck at HOME, I shall list down my New Year's resolutions!! which I think New Year's resolutions are kinda stupid cos' I don't keep 'em! But what the heck, just for the fun of it!

OR MAYBE!? we can LAUGH at my past year's resolution! :) *grin* but on second thoughts, better not! *shy lah!*



Esther's New Year ('05)'s Resolutions...

*whooopeedoo* was just telling my friend how time passes so fast. Sometimes we don't even notice that it flies by due to the hectic lifestyle that we live in.. the pace is so fast, everything is in a hurry, we prefer instant process to save time instead of taking the longer process - which sometimes, does do some good. Or even more if we're in the procrastinating mode, we'll be living in our 'tomorrow-never-dies' lifestyle.. "tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow." 

But anyway, all I am trying to say here is we're actually reaching the end of the year. I can't imagine how much I've been complaining this year that I won't even survive till the end of the year, and now it's actually here.  We, Amanda, Jo Ann, Francine and I were actually discussing yesterday during lunch time about last year's youth camp. (btw, I still can't believe I missed CAMP! bwaa*!) Last year we seem to be so lost, and confused, like lost sheep not knowing what to do after SPM asking God for directions. And now, I'm onto my last semester in A levels and she has completed like 1 year in her, degree.. (wait or wassit diploma? heck!) in psychology! :) I remember almost everyone was quite anxious to start college, and most of 'em (I remember Kwo Kuang) was proudly showing everyone his Taylor's ID, and now almost all the SAM people will be leaving for OZ in a months time.

Seriously, sometimes, we're too busy with other things, we fail to just stop for a while, to appreciate the present time. Most of the time, after a while, when we sit down and then we start to ponder, then we will realize that something good actually happened, or worst, we don't even realize that something good actually happened... why must it always be reminiscing of the past.. why can't it savour it now and then. It's like appreciating something when it's dead, and not when it's alive. sad huh? but I'm sure most of us are in that kind of situation.

Back to lunch yesterday, we were all discussing about leaving our home sweet home for studies. A little anxious to leave, but also a little scared because we will be all alone. As we were discussing, we realized that we're gonna come out and start working soon. Jo Ann will be leaving mid-Feb (or was it late-Feb?) and also most of my friends too (David, Zhuo Yan, Zen, Abby & Chun Meng...etc). Aaaah!* I dare not to type all the names out; so many out, they are starting to scare me lar.. seems to me, that all my friends are leaving.. SOON. *huge sigh*

anyway, as the New Year approaches.. well I guess there's some people I need to thank. For all their guidance, love, patience and ... aahh! everything!

erks! am getting very hyped up with Jo's idea about giving to society what we have. We're trying to have some kinda project to raise funds to help the less fortunate people, eg, the fishermen who lost 2 mil on their boats and other stuff and also, orphans who have lost their loved ones... I feel very bad sitting at home, comfortably, opening the newspapers, looking at other people's misfortune. We should try to help them, in all kind of ways! so wadaya think? up for it? hahhaha! Jo and I are! ;)

SIGH! everyone's...(not exactly ler) in CAMP now. *bwaaaaaa* wonder what am I missing? I was scanning through the camp's activities and everything! looks fun! hahaha.. Brian's the Game's leader, Ken's the Care Group leader (even more reason to laugh because in last year's camp; he missed ALL 2 days devotion in the morning) and Jan's the bus conductor.. err.. Oops! bus LEADER! hahaha! :)
