HAPPY NEW YEAR

It's 2008. It just feels like yesterday when three weeks into BMT I suddenly found myself plunging into 2007, having to stop accidentally writing -06 in all my dates. This chronological transition also clearly defined 2007 as my army year, the year that I became a soldier.

But let us not dwell in the past. I'm a zealous believer in new beginings. As you can see no matter how I fail or fall, I always welcome a new start, another chance to make things right and to right my wrongs. I aspire to make this year one in which I recreate the successes that I was careless in maintaining. I shall not be content with what I achieve but aggressively push myself, because by raising the bar, I do not run the risk of stagnating and then ultimately backsliding.

While this sounds like a very sketchy new year resolution kinda declaration, I wish for it not to end up like a new year resolution does, you know, being forgotten and expelled from memory. I know especially I'm talented in doing that. But must try again, that's what the new year's all about.

So Happy New Year to everyone I know and hold dear, and my 2008 be a blessed year to you.

P.S: My holiday went well in case you're wondering.
