[quoted 31st December 2010]
My new year resolution:
To reconnect with long lost friends and mend damaged relationships from 2010.

I think that I have accomplished this! Hurray! Even though relationships made in university are rather superficial, I can still sense true friendship from some people. Hopefully, these friendships will last. (:

And here's my new year resolution for 2012:
Become a more responsible person and do upon others what I want others to do upon myself.

And of course, by becoming a more responsible person, I hope my grades will improve because I am responsible for my own studies and grades!

And since my birthday is 15 days away! Here's a new wishlist! But first, reviewing last year's wishlist,

[quoted 31st December 2010]
My new birthday wishlist:
1) ORD ORD ORD ORD LO!
2) Have a room to myself and renovated according to my wishes
3) Get my driving license
4) PS3 or KINECT

1) ORD LO!
2) Having the room to myself is impossible, but at least my parents are keen on the renovation part!
3) Fail! Hopefully, I can pass it this time!
4) Nah, since uni started, I have much less time for these stuff.

And hence, my 22nd birthday wishlist:
1) Good grades for Sem 2!
2) Find a girlfriend!
3) Pass my driving in March!

And with that, goodbye 2011 and hello 2012! Omg, I am turning 22! *facepalm*

And here comes an end to the Survivor and The Amazing Race season. Both had satisfying winners. Sophie Clarke for Survivor and Ernie Halvorsen & Cindy Chiang for The Amazing Race. It's been a long time since both had winners that I liked from the start. So yeah, been a great time watching it the past 3 months!

On a slightly heavier note, tomorrow is the day that I don't know if I am dreading or looking forward to. Release of results is definitely scary and intimidating, but a part of me wants to just get over with it. Be it good results or a flunk, just let it be. After all, nothing can change it now. I just don't get it why people are so afraid to get back their results.

Recently, SMRT has been getting slammed a lot because of faulty train services and 3 breakdowns in consecutively 3 days. Personally, I am not affected by it but I feel appalled at how Singaporeans generally reacted to it. Yes, you are frustrated, you are annoyed, but can't you just show some graciousness? All the talk about Singapore being a world class country and yet having its citizens slamming their own transport infrastructure is a like giving yourself a slap in the face. Just give constructive feedback and help them improve. Slamming them and criticizing just for the sake of criticizing will get us nowhere. Hopefully, Singaporeans become more mature and stop being so childish blaming SMRT solely for it. They may be at fault, I agree but not totally. Hopefully, this incident will tide over soon.

Lastly, the video of Aaron Tan is really a disgrace to Singapore. The whole video is just . 18 year old and he thinks he owns the world. Seriously, what a joke. Criticizing someone's English when he can't even pronounce 'please' properly. Good thing he is in the boy's home now. Hopefully, he grows up when he comes out.

I think I'm a very hopeful person. Hopefully, everything turns out well!

I'm currently blogging from my hotel in Hongkong! I know right, you guys must be thinking why am I always in HK, actually I also dunno. Lol. This is a family trip and I am being dragged along. It's not nice to reject after they delay the trip just to accommodate my after exams timing, so here I am! First night here and our dinner is not that great. The noodles spoiled everything. Yeah, that's about it. Time for bed, good night people~
