"letting go doesn't mean giving up. it means moving on. it is one of the hardest things a person can do. starting at birth, we grasp on to anything we can get our hands on, and hold on as if we will cease to exist when we let go. we feel that letting go is giving up, quitting, and that as we all know is cowardly. but as we grow older we are forced to change our way of thinking. we are forced to realize that letting go means accepting things that cannot be. it means maturing and moving on, no matter how hard you have to fight yourself to do so."

HAPPY NEW YEAR first of all.
and i guess a recap of 2007 wld be necessary before i set all those resolutions. haa.

well well, 2007 was full of ups and downs and definitely a year to remember. sad things had broken my heart, scary things had freaked the hell out of me but definitely, happy things to make the above mentioned not so a big deal. to many and of course myself, canoe and schwork have become parts of me ever since i've gotten into sp. i've put in my soul and heart into them, i daresay. and 2007 was the year i got so into both that i've changed. my character, my temper. for better or worse, they've changed. i've become more hot-tempered, impatient and reckless. i guess i might have offended people along the way. but i just have to say i din mean it simply because i've changed, unknowingly.

these aside, i've been bothered by other stuff which also had huge impact on me. glad to say that i've gotten over it so yea, big big thanks to friends who offered their shoulders to lean on, ears to listen to my never-ending rantings and of course, their hearts to feel what i've been going through. it must have been hard on you people. thanks alot.

last year opened my eyes to alot of things i wld say. hopefully 2008's going to be the same. but i daresay this year's going to be more challenging as i'm entering the final year. and with more expectations flying in, including my own, i hope i can survive the year without being too hard on myself. so here goes my list of resolutions:

1. healthy body
2. happy and healthy family and friends
3. fun and fruitful attachment this feb
4. good grades
5. train hard despite the going-to-be busy schedule
6. lead my team well towards srrr and nat champs
7. be disciplined enough to fulfil the above mentioned!

yea hopefully i'm not being unrealistic or greedy. once again HAPPY NEW YEAR people. embrace the year with hope! (:
