last day .

End of another year!

While I know dates and calendars are rather arbitrary, I still think the end of the year is something to mark.

I mean, we made it through another one – hopefully in one piece – that’s something to celebrate.

Disneyland HK – fireworks over Sleeping Beauty castle :D

What a magical night! Totally kicked butt over all the fireworks displays we get in Australia…

And we went to Ocean Park too, which may have been even better! The water and fire show was a-freaking-mazing !

I don’t know, it makes sense in my head xD

I think I’ve grown up a fair bit this year. I don’t think I’ve had a very balanced life – I have had the partying and the studying, but it’s very much a ‘party for first 2-3 weeks, then ignore the world and study again’. So if there’s any sort of ‘resolution’ I’m making for next year, it’ll be to try and have some balance. Try to enjoy every day, instead of feeling like I’m sacrificing a social life to reach some sort of goal.

Because we don’t know if we’ll make it. Heck, we don’t know if we’ll even be alive in 10 years to grab that specialisation.

Not gonna lie, the start of this year made me afraid to plan.

But… you have to plan. I can give up on my plans now. Say ‘to hell with it’, drop out and go travel to the places I want to see.

But I wouldn’t be happy with myself. I’d feel like I didn’t achieve anything. And I know I shouldn’t be this way, but I think I’m very much an achievement-based person. Don’t know if it’s intrinsic or because of my upbringing (nature vs. nurture), but it’s part of me that I don’t see changing anytime in the near future.

Should it change? Probably. But gradually.

Maybe it’ll make me less ‘successful’ – in terms of GPA/career and whatnot, ‘losing the edge’ or whatever. But I guess I need to work out what’s important in life.

Hurh. Another rambling rant.

Next year should be exciting! New house, new degree. Excitedddd.

Let’s see where 2012 takes us
